There's a lot of rock and 90s angst influences on the album IMO, #iLive for the 90s so i'm actually getting quite slayed.
I think some people are also calling the album bland upon first listen, but I feel like the songs evoke this delicate, light pastel feeling, like the colors from the album cover, which could be mistaken as bland to some. The album feels like a literal breath of fresh air, very breathy, very airy, and very light.
