It's a step up but sounds a bit generic.

I adore Adam but I don't know if I'm digging his new sound. It might take some more listens.

For Your Entertainment was a quick release album due to idol and it was messy but had some great bops.

Trespassing is a criminally underrated album!

The Original High had some of his best songs.(and some of his worst....it felt like too much filler.)

Velvet....remains to be seen but he is bringing a cohesive era/album that's for sure.

I pretty much agree with everything you said besides The Original high having a lot of filter. I think it’s his best album and image. Such a shame he didn’t release more singles.

This new era is AWFUL. Don’t like anything regarding it.
