Notes From a Quiet Life

Washed Out

Overall, this record feels uninspired and mildly unimaginative. While I'm a big fan of a darker tone like on "Second Sight" and "Letting Go", as well as some Poolside-esque highlights in "Wait on You" and "Waking Up", I don't find much return value to about half of the album. We are so far from the days of High Times and even Mister Mellow. At least there's a clear vision with this record.
