    Really great interview!
    I feel like Ezra also appreciates interview like this, it's pretty similar to what he does as a host on Time Crisis...

      of course it is. The US has the best of everything and the worst of everything. There's just more options for everything so there more options there are the more there is to hate. but it's really easy to find something you like as well.

      Blackstar 76 I agree. unlike most albums I think the singles are the standout tracks of the album! They’re records always grow on me:), but its my least favourite atm

    • @tomcampbell5788
      @tomcampbell5788 5 лет назад +13

      Eh I don't agree that the rest is all filler. Each song brings something new to the table either sonically or lyrically, I know Ezra speculated that the album could be cut shorter but upon listening to it, I feel none of the songs could really be sacrificed without deteriorating the quality of the album.

      Stranger is absolutely not filler. If you don’t love that song then that’s your problem.
