after listening to the show a few times, the main thought that keeps circling back to me is that niall hit a sweet spot here by being able to flawlessly blend what made both flicker and heartbreak weather good while stamping out the parts that didn’t feel familiar to his identity. the show is a seamlessly executed third record that truly feels fully formed. his keen ability for storytelling within his lyricism, the record’s big yet structured melodies, and his vocal’s overall authentic nature proves how versatile and purposeful niall is being here as an artist as he solidifies his sound instead of just exploring it. in my opinion (and you all know how i adore flicker), i believe this to be niall’s strongest outing to date. we begged for a show, and he didn’t just give us one. he gave us the show. excited to see him grow even further in what seems to be his locked-in sound arena for the rest of his musical career.

the show is an incredible album and I cannot believe we have 3 solo albums for someone who couldn’t get their microphone turned on at the start of their career, I am so proud of niall

the evolution in niall's songwriting is so fucking genius. flicker is heartbreak & emotional devastation to the brim, heartbreak weather naturally flows into that period of exploration post-breakup all the ups and downs of moving on from someone, and the show is comfort and self-assurance and settling in love again. and he is SO good at capturing the essence of each album into the title tracks
