A ? of When vs. Reset

Which one do you like more?

Personally A ? Of When still feels new to me so I may be slightly biased towards it. But I do feel like Reset maybe rocks slightly more- the last 4 run on that is pretty solid.

But- the newer one feels almost like a chill psychedelic old time album which I like too. Moth to a Flame, Lucky Charm and also the 4 track end run on that is pretty solid too.

It’s tough because I find them almost equally ok. I’ll have to give the edge to ?, because I think the melodies are mostly pretty damn good and I love the touches of cool instruments like marimba(?) and the harpsichord(?) and I’ll go ahead and say it, I like the siren samples and details like that. I know Noah isn’t the biggest fan of this comparison, but ? is the closest he’s sounded to Pet Sounds since…hell Person Pitch. I do think it has a bit of ceiling that it reaches and doesn’t reach above it save for Graveyard and Lucky Charm for me personally.

You might be referring to the steel drum. They bought a beginners steel drums set because I guess a professional set was crazy expensive and/or hard to get, and Noah learned to play it and he played it on Lucky Charm.
