    And I'm not even a Cole Stan so hear me out m

    Every song, every melody, every line, tells this story. The same story.

    He's telling the life story of his recently deceased freind to his friends daughter (not Coles duaghter, the friends duaghter). If you were to read and and analyze the lyrics and actually listen to what he is saying throughout the album you'd realize it is truly something special.

    The lyrics aren't even from Coles point of view until the very final verse.

    Can't think of an album that tells such a deep and personal story that is told by every aspect and is tied together so greatly like this one is, without sacrificing quality of prouduction, lyricism, or listenableness.

    Idk, seems pretty amazing to me

    Maybe. Usually I think Cole is pretty overrated but I really think this album was put together fantastically.
