I’ve given Hana a couple of listens now and it’s definitely a lot better than anticipated. I still think all the criticism is valid but it’s a good album in spite of that it just should’ve been released 4-5 years ago.
I wasn’t really impressed with the quality of the physical CD/Vinyl/Cassette. It’s all so much cheaper than the Wanderlust and Familia releases, made even more noticeable as they’re supposed to be a trilogy.
Standouts: Everything Is Sweet, Beyond The Universe, Reflections
Good: A Thousand Orchids, Breaking The Circle, Lost in the Sunshine, Hearing in Colour, Broken Toy
Meh: We've Been Watching You
Deletable: Until the Wheels Fall Off, Tokyo, He’s a Dreamer
I’d probably rank them Wanderlust > Hana > Familia, but long term I think I’ll end up listening to Hana the most.
