Holy shit the valley is addictive. Basically, this is how it's gone:
1st listen (at the gym): this is nice.
2nd listen (on the way back): man, some of these songs are really good.
3rd listen (laying on my bed super tired): best album I've heard from this year so far maybe?
4th listen (right now): every single one of these songs is my new favorite song!!!
This all happened today, btw.
