    While I'm personally not a fan of indie-pop seasoned with a little hip-hop, I can understand why people like them. They are catchy, relatable, atmospheric in a sense, emotional at some points, but overall somewhat of an oddball compared to other pop acts. I suppose some of my issues with this is that the album sounds kind of generic, bland, and just "meh."

They are catchy, relatable, atmospheric in a sense, emotional at some points, but overall somewhat of an oddball compared to other pop acts. I suppose some of my issues with this is that the album sounds kind of generic, bland, and just "meh." There were some good moments here (Skeletons, Music to Walk Home To) and some bad moments there (Lifeboat), but personally, I don't have much to say about this. The production is nice; the mixing is okay, and I guess the music isn't offending anybody. Overall this sounds like something you would hear while shopping for clothes; not too crazy and not too boring, just "meh."

    Overall score: 5.4/10

    An instant classic. The band keeps this release restrained, not trying to cram in too many "filler" tracks. It's one of those albums that you just want to play again once it's over. A beautiful continuous narrative on love, self-consciousness, paranoia, and acceptance of life. A+

    The direction of the album was not felt. It's not clear if they want to navigate the entire coast or the ocean. Where Murray and his crew are trying to take me; it looks like a swimming pool. The project is not bad; It seems that on TikTok, it would be successful, but I had other expectations. I need a float.

    I really enjoyed this album. The twist that this album put on hip-hop was a big risk, and I think that Easy Life did it perfectly. The album's themes of love, hate, and mental illness have a real impact on the listeners.

    The subtleties written into the album's DNA make all the difference (with the mention of the album's title in so many of the lyrics acting as unifying sentiment), almost to a faultless degree.

    A record you’re sure to fall hopelessly in love with, its immediacy taps into the endless zen of those long summer days.

    ‘Life’s A Beach’’s lasting impact is its confrontation of depression and self-doubt: this is a record that will make you feel deeply as well as provide a soundtrack for your first post-lockdown festival.
