    I haven’t had a chance to listen to the new album, but it’s a bit sad to hear it went in a poppier direction.

    Honestly though, Worlds is a masterpiece that was created as pushback against the EDM trends of the time when it was released. It’s not necessarily unfair comparison, but it is a recipe for disappointment if that’s what you’re going to use as your baseline for all new music.

      Worlds was very unique, yeah. It’s definitely not a good benchmark for EDM.

      I found Smile to be too lyrics-focused and the tracks didn’t particularly stand out to me, it was a bit generic-sounding.
