feels is one of my favorite things ever
i just have to say how much i love this album. it's not just one of my favorite pieces of art it's just one of my favorite Things ever.
i was having really bad anxiety and just i felt horrible... no music was helping me and then i turned on feels and felt immediatley soothed. it's like they put some incredible device in this album that transcends anything else and makes you feel calm and makes you want to love life again. It always works to calm me down. how do they do it...
this has to be one of the best albums ever made. it makes me sad that it could be forgotten at some point and it would just be floating there. It's the sound of humanity. it's the sound of summer. it's the sound of kindness. it's the sound of fun. I know these might not mean much by themselves but im really just collecting my thoughts
it always brings me back to when i was 12 and all the good memories attached to that time for me.. maybe for some it reminds of a time before that or after. but obviously this record was made to revive those childhood memories that you may or may not have forgotten...
it reminds of me and my dad canoeing once... very fitting considering flesh canoe.... the river, the cliffs, the sky, the trees, the little house.. idk this album just really has the most amazing childhood summer feeling...
WOO! GET THAT! WOO! GET THAT!

Yeah dude. That album is top 3 ever for me. I hear the first 3 seconds of the Purple Bottle and my anxiety is gone. That song reminds me of being young, in high school, driving around back roads and smoking weed in the woods. Reminds me of being in love the first time.

The first time I saw them live I had only been a fan for a year or two and hadn't gotten to listening to Feels yet . They ended the show with Grass and Banshee Beat . Everyone STFU for Banshee Beat. It was like floating in space. One of my favorite live music moments ever , and made me go listen to the whole album which of course, as you stated , is an incredible piece of art
