One More Time opens the album on pure euphoria — does that emotional high set up the rest of the record honestly, or does it make everything after feel like a comedown?

This is a borderline crazy question. (Still working on the prompts for generating discussion questions.) The whole album feels like a purposeful journey with its twist and turns, ups and downs. I do feel like the first four tracks feel like a movement of their own, with Crescendolls providing a stylistic shift into a new sonic environment. In no way does the opening tracks feel isolated to the extent of comprising the rest of the album. 😂
