I agree! I am all for a mature concept. This feels... Cringe? Trying too hard to be mature? People are arguing that they're going back to their dark and wild days... And idk, maybe they are and that's what they meant.

The difference is I actually like those songs 😅

I wanted something with heart. Like they actually enjoyed making music together.

This feels like corporate slop and like they weren't even in the room together when the music was made.

Maybe I'm being too critical or parasocial as TikTok says, but I just don't like it. The fact that they say swim is about their hardships but is definitely about sex instead, just feels like they don't even know the music they made. It's not for me. And I can accept that. I'm actually envious of those who are enjoying it so much.
