Style

Great Vacation! is somewhat more soul-influenced than Sleeping in the Aviary's previous albums,[3] and features an increased emphasis on polished melodies.[4] Many of the album's lyrics are about surreal topics, and almost all of them are about love.[4] Sleeping in the Aviary frontman Elliott Kozel has called the album “a gooey exploration of spine-tingling animalistic human behavior.”[5]

gollark: Do you not understand a word/phrase in it, or what it's asking you to do, or what?
gollark: <@379441093558927391> Like I said, please just post your actual question so people can help you directly.
gollark: My computer agrees with that.
