good lyrics. But I felt like a young nice sweet little girl with the music.

Loves it. Y'all need more sweetness in your lives. Sipping On The Sweet Nectar, I'm Leaving You Because I Don't Love You, Your Arms Around Me, Shirin, Friday Night At The Drive In Bingo are all classics. Like others have said his other work is fantastic too.

Listened to this for the first time recently, thought it was really enjoyable. It did feel a bit too sweet for me as people have already said, but the moments I liked I really liked, Postcard Ti Nina especially. At the very least it's unnaturally pleasant.

It's quite good. It's pretty up-and-down in terms of quality, but the ups are stunning.

Why guilty? And I'm firmly in the camp with Hayden that he's fantastic. I mean, his collected EPs are in my Top 10 currently (more realistically Top 20 as my chart fills out but still). This album in particular I think is inferior in quality, but it's no slack. I think people who dislike it though would still do well to try out that collection.

This is a wonderful album, and is a masterpiece of pop song-writing; the lyrics are honestly hilarious, and it's just a lovely album to listen to. I love this album.

^ a lot this.

Also, I will say sometimes I really like this album. Especially "Opposite Of Hallelujah" and "A Postcard To Nina" and "My Arms Around You". But other times its just so damn fluffy sweet cotton candy production-wise that I just can't get into it. Good summer album I suppose.

The lyrics are quite brilliant at times.

And the opener, personally, just I hate quite a bit.

I'm probably the biggest Jens Lekman fan on this site 🤣

I love his music, honestly. It's just really witty, fairly simple and diverse pop songs. His lyrics are the highlight of all his albums, they're really just enjoyable to listen to. This album is a bit more humourous that his recent release, but still just as heartbreaking at times.

Can't recommend this album enough though.
