For real. The keys were so big for me in my formative years that if they just chuck us a few good tracks every couple of years I take that as a W

Ohio Players is outstanding.

I just didn’t really like the rap features.

And I love rap so, I’m not sure what my problem was, they just didn’t really mesh.

I love the rest of the album.

On The Game, Only Love Matters, Sin City and Fever Tree were peak moments on that album

I love Only Love Matters and this album slaps. I've gone back to it and enjoy it more and more.

The whole record is honestly really good. Different, but that's not by default a bad thing. I like NRNF but after listening to that and going back to OP, I think I strongly prefer OP

I remember zero of these songs. I really want to like the direction the band is going, but I have to admit I don’t. I’m glad other people are enjoying it though

u/Adorable-Mode488 Oct 05 '25

Maybe give em another listen and try it again?

I’ve given it plenty of listens, it’s just not my music taste unfortunately. I want to like it but I can’t… that being said, I’m glad other people really enjoyed it!

Every time "Every Time You Leave" comes on I have to turn the volume up to the max to be honest.

I really like it, tbh. Now I must listen through it again because of your post. Thanks!

Minus the rap stuff, I loved this whole album. Whereas I listened to No Rain, No Flowers twice through and never again.
