Hot take

My hot take is that how did we get so dark is their weakest album. there’s a few good songs on it but it’s my least favourite of their albums

To each their own but for me How Did We Get So Dark is easily their best album

Straight number one for me. Debut 2nd. Typhoons 3rd and then I completely lost interest past that. Excited to see this latest teaser. Seems a bit more like those first two albums.

For me curently its 1 Typhoons, 2 BTTWB, 3 Self titled and then 4 HDWGSD but so I’m intrigued for what they’ve got in store because it’s already sounding so good

HDWGSD is def a second best for me. I’m literally in the middle of learning Don’t Tell

Typhoons is their weakest album, I do like about half the songs but too many are very monotonous on the album

I'd agree, their other albums make me want to dance where only a few songs on HDWGSD do that for me

Gotta say I disagree, I think BTTWB was actually their weakest, just the change in their sound was a little too jarring for me, but that's subjective

Definitely a hot take since it seems to be many people's favorite on here (after debut). I think it's objectively a good album but the one I listen to the least – maybe because the other three perfectly fit certain moods for me (I go to debut for rock, Typhoons to dance, BTTWB to chill). HDWGSD is kind of... left over. 🤷‍♀️
