I can't get a solid impression off this Youth Lagoon based on my first listen today. There are some incredibly sublime moments, and also some odd moments. It is definitely a complete departure from his debut, and only time will tell if it is a good departure.
It is crazy how much more polished this sounds than the last one. Can't wait to give it a spin in the headphones to form an opinion on it.

On my third listen now. I have lots of thoughts on this album. Here are a few...
This plays like a cinematic experience. I almost feel like it is a real time soundtrack to a short film like ODDSAC was...or that it needs to be released with accompanying videos to each song like Teen Dream was. It really is an ''important'' sounding album.
The production is beautiful, props to whoever helped him reach his full potential in terms of sound.
The only thing lacking to me is that the vocal melodies aren't strong enough in a few spots, but it might just be the overall unexpected sound that is throwing me off.
This truly is a huge evolution in sound for him, whether or not you think it is a better product is going to be left up to your personal taste obviously. It seems to be the type of album that you like more and more each time you hear it and will have a lot of staying power.

new Phoenix album is out there.
Damn, 2 months before release date?
And someone was saying that Wolfgang leaked 6 months before it came out
You would think these major labels would be able to get within at least a month
nice one, i was too lazy to look for another to put in its place.
not listened yet, whats the quality of the rip like ?
hopefully the new Strokes album leaks a few weeks early to, somehow been looking forward to it as much as the Phoenix album.

This Phoenix album is kinda 
....every song just sounds like a filler track. Maybe one or two standouts, but nothing compared to the hot tracks from the Wolfgang album.
Updating my current "albums of the year" list and changing the format since ranking is too hard (not that anyone gives a shyt though, this is for my end-of-year personal reference)

9.0 or above (possible future classic)
Youth Lagoon "Wondrous Bughouse"
8.5 or above (excellent album)
