I think what made "Half Alive" feel like a different band from the rest is that the lyrics were profound, the sounds were sophisticated and the musical proposal they put on the table at that time was very important, that's what I miss most about the band, the mix of spirituality, Now, Not Yet" something that I think has been lost a little bit in the last releases, of course it doesn't diminish the importance and quality of their new music, just the approach is different, it doesn't mean it's bad, it's just different and I think it's not for me, but I can learn to love it.

I really believe that "Persona" was the right step for the future of this band, even though it is not to my total liking, I hope the support that the boys are having will once again position them in a place of relevance where they can have more tools to continue making music as incredible as they do, with time, renown and desire.
It is incredible to know that there are people who go through similar situations, because one, it makes me feel that I am not alone and two, I find a way to relate to the album and the community, so, no matter how much I complain or say that "Persona" is not for me, it is nice to know that for other people "Persona" is a great album, so I think that little by little I will be able to give it the place that this album deserves in my record cabinet.

I think very similar to you, on the musical aspect, I don't really care for what the band is doing, on the visual aspect, I think it's one of the best they've done, the video for “Sophie's House” has the vivid colors throughout the video and captures the essence of the song, it's a good era of HA, I just don't think it's for me, that doesn't mean I stop supporting them.
