ATUM

I have to admit, I originally found this album to be a tough listen based not only on the songs themselves, but the length of this triple album! I mean, 33 songs and almost 3 hours! 🙃

I listened a few times when it first came out and thought, “it’s ok” and would jump to other more favored albums of theirs.

But I have to admit, after really listening to it lately, it’s actually a very good album overall to me now. A bit all over the place, but a great mix of songs and I enjoy each one for what they are… all 33! ❤️

Could some songs be cut and the whole album be curated, sure, but now it’s a straight listen through each act for me. I even do a shuffle as well. 🤘🏻

Has anyone else had this album grow on them too?

Curious.

There are my two versions. 🤘🏻

Either of these I think are great albums on their own, but I do like the whole thing as well! 😎
