I'm not disappointed because it's just as incredibly boring and uninspired as I thought it would be

This is what happens when you've been sensitized to pop music; when an album comes out that is based on the lyrics instead of the production swallowing the words, we call it boring, a disappointment, and whatnot. Maybe when we learn to appreciate the art form of songwriting for what it's worth, we won't need the production to swallow the singer in electronic veils and be appreciative of their mind and voice…

Like others have said, I'll wait to judge it officially after hearing it in full.
But based on the snippets, I totally agree. I was expecting the sound to be darker and harder but also kind of playful (kinda like 90s grunge meets santigold) especially with a title like "Ultraviolence."
West Coast is perfect, BB is great, and I like UV... SOC is... okay (not bad not good). Still though, BTD songs >>>>>
