Sometimes less room to ramble (and/or tamble) can be a good thing.
MMJs previous LP, aself-titled recordfrom 2021, had three songs that went on past the seven-minute mark.
This one doesnt have any over five.

Half a Lifetime is classic-rock dream-pop.
But the economy and texture here is refreshing.
Restraint helps bring out the soul in the albums softer songs, too.
One of the niftiest moments here cleverly balances studio craft, deep thoughts, and live power.
