"Merritt, characteristically, was a dick about it."
Listened to it and honestly I don't think he comes off as a dick at all. And I think he acknowledges his sincerity on the song.
What can I say? I'm an old fashioned "release a single with an album announcement day" kind of guy.
What I find exhausting is the whole "released a single almost a year ago, announce a probable album 6 months ago, diss your current label, call Art Angels a piece of crap, hide songs on soundcloud, discuss retiring from music, star in an Adidas campaign, get part of your eyes removed so you can't see blue light, promise a new single a whole month in advance, erase your IG and release a so-so song without actually announcing an album release date" thing. But it might be just me.
This is also my personal favorite album of the 2009 class.
In 2009-2010 I had a ton of life changes and this was my soundtrack. On 2010 moved to Austin and the day after I landed I went to Fun Fun Fun Fest and saw them play. Lineup included both Coffman and Deradoorian, which we now know won't ever happen again. So I treasure it as one of my top 3 concerts ever.

That's one weird way to read that Squid and the Whale bit.
For me it was always as simple as Daniels sending Walt to 1986's artsy hot ticket. If the movie had been set in 1994, he'd probably suggested Pulp Fiction.
Genius from start to finish. Feels like Mering has been building up to this all her career. Hope it’s her well-deserved breakthrough. AOTY so far for me.
I think she's a genius. I keep returning to Party, and it gets better each time. I find this song and video phenomenal, and Designer just climbed to to the top of my most awaited upcoming albums.
Love this album so much.
I was going to complain that I felt it was terribly under hyped, but then p4k went and gave it bnm, which will probably give it a well deserved boost.
