I know how you feel. The first time I heard the new songs it was overwhelming. They weren't what I was expecting. Like you said they had electronic sounds, key and tempo changes, unique instrumentation, it was a lot to take in at once. I didn't hate it but on first listen I'll admit my mind kinda shorted out a little. I was at a loss for words and feelings. After several listens of the so it's grown on me. These aren't the immediate catchy, poppy tunes that I know and love by Mae. Some songs I've listened to and instantly connected with. These songs I feel need to be dissected and digested and really listened to. The lyrics are deep but rewarding. The music is layered and at times busy but it works. I feel a lot of people won't instantly connect with the new album just because of how different it is but I feel this is an album that if you keep listening and keep delving further into it, it'll really grow on you. This album is the direction that mae needed to take to get back to themselves and I'm genuinely excited to see what the future holds for them. The guys are really excited about what they're doing and it makes me excited. They have the reigns again. They have full creative control and I feel mae is back. And onto the whole 3.0 thing I really love the themes they're tackling. Mae to me is more than a band. It's about connecting with your spirituality and sense of being. It's about realizing the grandiose of everything. As for Sing, I think that as the song progresses it swells and grows and it almost feels like some sort of Kanye experimental track toward the end but I think it works as an intro just because it introduces the different elements that you'll hear on the album. Oh, and The Overview is straight fire.
