On this review I will be reviewing the new Father John Misty album which was released on the 1st June 2018. 3 months ago. It's the fourth studio album by Father John Misty called "God's Favourite Customer".
Father John Misty also known as Josh Tillman is a singer, songwriter from Rockville Maryland. Who I have been fan of for quite some time. Since his 2015 album was released "I Love You, Honeybear" I became a fan of his music. It's my favourite Father John Misty album. "I Love, You Honeybear" is a masterpiece of an album such a brilliant album. Josh Tillman is also known as a former member of 'Fleet Foxes'. Discussing more about his career he moved to Seattle when he was 21 where he got a job working as a bakery. Which allowed him to record at night before his early morning shift 4:30 am. He eventually made a demo which found it's way to Seattle singer, songwriter 'Damien Jurado'. A year later he was the opening act for Jurado. In 2012 he released his debut album "Fear Fun" under his new moniker "Father John Misty" he has released albums with other names like "J. Tillman". He is widely more known as 'Father John Misty' and more widely known as the drummer for the 'Fleet Foxes'. Discussing about his discography he has released four studio albums. His debut album "Fear Fun" which is a great debut album. I liked his debut it's a strong Indie Folk, Indie Rock album. His second studio album "I Love You, Honeybear" My favourite Father John Misty album I love it. His third album "Pure Comedy" which is an amazing album it was in my Top 20 Best albums Of 2017 list. "Pure Comedy" is my second favourite Father John Misty album. A year later he releases his fourth studio album "God's Favourite Customer". After hearing his new album what did I think of it? I thought it was a good album. It's a good album but I much prefer "Pure Comedy".
Let's go through track by track on the album on what I thought of every tracks. The opening track "Hangout At The Gallows" which I thought was a great opening track to the album. His vocals really does sound a young Elton John. I love the guitars on this track. The next track "Mr Tillman" I thought it was this kind of mid 80s rock vibe which I thought was alright. I love the whistling part on the track. The next track "Just Dumb Enough To Try" it's decent it really does remind of Elton John. The fourth track "Date Night" which is my least favourite I think it's the weakest on the album. "Please Don't Die" which I thought one of the strongest tracks on the album. "The Palace" I love the piano melody on this track it's really calmful. "Disappointing Diamonds Are The Rarest Of Them All" It's a decent track. "God's Favourite Customer" another decent track which I thought was alright. "The Songwriter" quite a sad piano melody quite a smooth low track. "We're Only People (And There's Not Much Anyone Can Do About That)" it's decent I quite like the drums on this track his lyrics are interesting. My favourite tracks overall are "Hangout At The Gallows", "Mr. Tillman", "Please Don't Die", "The Palace", and "Disappointing Diamonds Are The Rarest Of Them All". My least favourite is "Date Night".
Overall I liked this new Father John Misty album but I much prefer "Pure Comedy". I would listen to it again. I am giving the album a 7/10.
