If you are in NYC, there's a chance you could listen to the album before its release date this Friday.

Bruh. The whole album is hot. Every song can be a damn single, no skips. Calvin really did his thing on this album, and I don't listen to him much.

This album is so groovy. I absolutely love it. No lies when I say it's the summer album.
"Slide", "Cash Out", "Prayers Up", and "Rollin" are the big highlights. The rest are good too.
Lil Yachty could have found his pepperoni ass lines out of "Faking It" though. The worst part of this album.

To me, it fits the vibe. Maybe Calvin wanted it like that.

Holiday: 6/10

It's a really cute album. Mainly because of the production, he is definitely coming for summer's wig. Quite a few tracks could be catchier though, some of these tracks are in the "songs playing in the background while you're grilling burgers but you don't really notice" lane. And I'm cool with vibe music, but that's not what he's going for at all, everything on the album is so deliberate.
Maybe they'll open up on repeated listens? We'll see. Either way, it's a groovy listen.

I picked this up along with yellin' ass Khaled (since it was only $9.99 for a double disc!) but, based on the songs I have heard and the clips of the unreleased songs, it's definitely background summer BBQ music. Nothing wrong with that! Everything has its place!

Cash Out and Faking It are great. Hard to Love is also a standout. All four songs released already were also very good.
Skrt On Me should be a mess with that much auto-tune, but it's a perfect summer song. Would love that as a single at some point. He should go 5+ singles deep with this one.

Dear lord he really came to deliver that summery blissful hot fire, I imagine my ass bathing in the waves listening to this album.
Easily his best most cohesive work to date

I'm really feeling this album. There's not a bad song on it. The standouts for me are "Cash Out", "Holiday", "Feels" and "Faking It".

To commemorate his 30th UK Top 40 single and the release of Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1, the Official Charts compiled his Top 20 biggest singles to date there, which includes streams and sales combined. You could check the full list here or in the link of the tweet below. |

The whole album is great, he totally captured that summer R&B/Urban feel that I assume he was going for. Slide/Holiday are my favourites, while Skrt On Me and Hard To Love were the only 2 songs I didn't like right away.

He released this album at the right time because it is perfect summer music for damn near all occasions. The only song I'm not too keen on is "Skrt On Me" with Nicki. I can already envision myself grilling up a feast for my friends with the smell of carne in the air just vibing with a drink in my hand. I'm going to two-step myself into the core of the Earth to this album. Like Daft Punk's "RAM" album it's a relief to see an EDM producer go back to the basics of live instruments and really show their versatility and be able to combine so much talent into a cohesive body of work. I see more Grammys in his future moving beyond the Dance fields.

This album is FIRE. It's so fun and a perfect soundtrack for the summer. He's an excellent producer.

The album is currently at #2 on the midweeks in the UK, behind ÷ by Ed Sheeran. If this doesn't change until Friday, it will be 2014 all over again. :( From the Official Charts: |

This album sort of comes and goes, there's nothing particularly strong apart from Slide and Feels which we all already are familiar with.

From BuzzJack Music Forum: 1 Ed Sheeran - ÷ (16.3k) 2 Calvin Harris - Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1 (13.8k) * 3 Stone Sour - Hydrograd (7.5k) * 4 Rag'n'Bone Man - Human (7.4k) 5 Royal Blood - How Did We Get So Dark (6.6k) This is the Tuesday update in the UK and Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1 is still at #2 there, but the gap has increased to 2.5k. Sigh! |

Calvin uploaded instrumentals for each track off the album to YouTube. (!!!) I was going to ask where they were because I couldn't find them, but I realized that you meant his YouTube channel instead of his YouTube/VEVO channel when you wrote the aforementioned. |
