This is one of the most alternative albums to be successful in a really long time. Like this album pushes so many boundaries, but was still able to find massive success. It really deserves this nod and I hope it wins so badly
I love Ocean Blvd but I feel like that album is too intelligent and existential to actually be enjoyable to the average listener… even a fun song like A&W won’t truly be understood by a casual listener just because it’s so biographically layered and personal…
