I actually agree with this take. It’s not perfect but it definitely delivers in key moments.

solid 👍
Kinda mixed but I get the appeal.
There’s a lot to like here, but also a lot that holds it back from being great.
🔥 fire
This didn’t really land for me overall, but I can see why some people like it.

I’m somewhere in the middle on Straw. I can see why people rock with it because the tone is there. I just don’t think every piece is firing at the same level. So yeah, I respect it more than I love it.
