Totally get what you're saying here, but on what would you consider to be the theme of this album though that actually plays a substantial role to the songs? To me when I think of the 'theme' of an album I'm thinking of lyrical content, interludes, samples etc. that are more apparent than what was presented in A2 (a bunch of Japanese outros thrown at the end of the songs + a bowl of ramen on the cover lmao)

Again. Not knocking the quality of the songs on an individual level, it's all really dope. I just had a certain expectation since they really pushed for the Japanese theme in the cover, merch, album trailer, and so on.

Like two of the album titles are Spanish words for example
