It's a lot more groovy then i was expecting

Im hyped, loved the singles.

hook on I Can See is gorgeous

waking up on my birthday to new mac

Happy birthday <3

Happy birthday

Weaker than Hands?

That's the only track I'm iffy on.

Hands amazing wtf that production

Surf is amazing

Lyrics aren't that great and the chorus is pretty average, especially in comparison to all the other tracks.

Intro and outro seem lazy too.

A talent and passion like Mac had for music don't deserve to be cut that short, s***

Only track i'm meh on is Everybody

Once a Day made me cry. Loved the video of Mac playing it on piano that got released after his death so hearing the CDQ instantly brought tears

He came over, played two or three things—that was one of them, and it had a little mini piano or something. I couldn’t believe the songwriting. I looked forward to his visits so much because every time, there was this new discovery of, ‘You’re hiding this?’ Honestly. I don’t know what else he’s got undercover, but this thing is fully fleshed out. It’s personal. It’s heartbreaking. I went through the rigmarole to get him to play it and I did what I thought was the right production decision. I left the room, but I didn’t close the door. I didn’t leave, not even slightly. I stood in the door, basically a room and a half away from the control room with the door open. And he started playing and the vocal was coming out and I wasn’t having to be in the room and he did a pass and I could hear there was something on the keyboard needing adjustment. It needed to be brighter or darker, and I just sort of came running in like, ‘Oh, sorry, just one thing.’ And I went back out and I stood in the hallway and I listened to a couple of takes. And this is how I can tell you I’m not looking at it with the loss goggles: I bawled my eyes out. Heard it twice in a row. I kind of poked my head around the door and said, ‘Oh, I heard a little bit of that. That sounds good. Just do a double of that keyboard just right now while the sound’s up. Okay, cool.’ Boom. Ran out into the hallway and cried again and dried my eyes out and went back in and sat through the usual ‘Was that good? Are you sure you shouldn’t just play it?’ Maybe it’s something the rest of the world wouldn’t see and I will be blinded by personal experience, but I don’t f**king care. It’s what happened. It’s what I saw, and I just think it’s great and doesn’t need any qualifiers, personally. So there.
-Jon Brion on Mac making Once A Day

holy f*** this album is great

probably the best posthumous album i’ve listened to

God damn Mac evolved so much as an artist. This whole thing is bitter sweet. Miss this guy a ton—whole Swimming era was his best work.

top 15 ever, jon nailed it and so did his family and label with this release

Okay, hand me downs is absolutely beautiful

beach boys influence on this is pretty real, it's so melancholic at time's that i cannot believe mac reached this point as an artist.

10/10 for me.

woods into hand me downs is one of the greatest sequences

Sounds amazing
