"Haven't Met You" and "Castaway" are my two favorites on a very subpar album. Really hoping the former has a chance to be a single at some point, great song.
Also, anyone else surprised by the lack of tempo on this? "Something I'm Good At" really stands out due to its uniqueness on here.

I was surprised about the lack of tempo but it didnt bother me because "Something I´m Good At" is way too much on it lol.I think "Superhero" has some beat but the whole album follows the same line. ;) As I said I was a bit worried about if Brett would get lost after "SIGA"  although how unique the song is. "Havent Met You" has been a favorite of mine for some time and I thought he would record it on "Illinois" but I am glad he did it now ;) . I wish it could be a single but I think "Love Someone","The Long Way" or"No Stopping You" have better chances. I thought the lyrics very honest and I like that Brett keep co-writing his songs. ;) |

As I posted elsewhere, this album may do 45-50k SPS, 43-47k album and debut at #1 on Billboard 200.
My early favorites are The Long Way, Crystal Clear and Castaway.
Superhero kinda sounds like Eric Church's Creepin' and Crystal Clear like ZBB's Jump Right In.

Not as good as Illinois, which I thought was a strong album
Favorites: Haven't Met You, Superhero (I love the driving beat of that song), Castaway, No Stopping You, Long Way, Brother
Everything else is just kinda boring to me.

I don't care for this album at all. The only songs I liked were "Haven't Met You", "No Stopping You", and "Castaway".

After listening the album during this week I fell in love with the chorus of "The Reason" I love the way he sings it.  "Crystal Clear" has become another favorite too. |

Feel like he should've got more than 36 With a barely Top 20 single? Nah. This is a good number. |

I think this may be my favorite album from him. Initially, I was surprised by the tempo. But it's definitely a welcome surprise. Here are my rankings:
1. "The Reason"
2. "Haven't Met You"
3. "Love Someone"
4. "Castaway"
5. "Cycles"
6. "The Long Way"
7. "Brother"
8. "Heartbreaker"
9. "No Stopping You"
10. "Crystal Clear"
11. "Somethin' I'm Good At"
12. "Superhero"
In my opinion, there really isn't a bad song on this album and I found myself skipping a few on Illinois. Much like his debut, I have played this one straight through several times. I loved SIGA and also like the uptempo vibes of "Superhero," but they had to go somewhere on the list so I figured they had to go there.
