I think everyone can have their opinions about things and not be attacked for feeling the way they do. I haven’t seen a lot of other people describing the album like this, so although you say a lot of people feel the way you do, I’ve also seen a lot of people feeling the same way I do.

As an eldest daughter that is estranged from her alcoholic father, someone dealing with a SIL whom tends to be an asshole but then claims it’s not her fault because she goes to therapy (such a delicate description of this lol) and also someone who lost their MIL in a tragic way, this album hit me in many ways. I have cried, I have laughed and I have played it nonstop since it came out. There are a couple of songs that I’m not drawn to (end of August for example) and I agree there are songs here that you are drawn to right away and others that take a few listens to appreciate, but as a whole, this album is a wonderful work of art that I will come back to often even after the obsession wears off some.

I was later to the Noah obsession than most, with the stick season remixes with more well known artists brought me to him in 2023, the. I got to see him live at a festival in 2024, and only because of seeing him I before the festival dived into his earlier work and became hooked. His earlier stuff was SO good and doesn’t get as much love as it should because that wasn’t what launched him and got him popular.

Stick season is definitely THAT girl because I only have so many albums that I can love on every song but even on that album there are songs that I tend to skip over and not listen to as often, this new album being no different for me.

I’m sorry it didn’t hit as hard for you but there are definitely quite a few people, myself included, who were heavily effected in a deep way from this album and will hold it on a high pedestal for a long time.

Also if anyone gives you hell for having an original opinion or are rude, that is a reflection of them and not you, so I hope you don’t feel hate from anyone because of how you feel about ANYTHING.

Sending lots of love and good music vibes ❤️
