    “He actually made an album that sounds like how Hobo Johnson music sounds like to people who hate ALL of Hobo Johnson’s music”
    Couldn’t have summed up the album enough. It’s truly disappointing and sounds like he has lost passion for what made him likeable (musically) entirely and decided to make a parody of his own style.
    Edited: Wow, I appreciate the likes and comments as it’s nice to know other people care and feel this way about Johnson’s music. I think this album has some moments, but not close to enough. Regardless of the music quality , I honestly hope Johnson is okay given the album’s emotions.

    I interpret "You Want A Baby" as someone who's despair has driven them away from something that they may have wanted at a different point in their life. It's about seeing the future as so bleak as to let a partner go who might want kids or get married. It's not shitting on other parents for having kids, it's about how the narrator responds to anxiety about the future.

    "I Wanna See The World" is the only song I actually liked on this album.

The rest of the album is the equivalent of setting piss on fire, though.

    This video was too long. Halfway through it, I got hungry so I left it playing and went to the kitchen to fix myself a sandwich. But then I found out that I'm out of mayonnaise so I went to a store. There, I saw the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my whole life. But I'm really a shy person so I took up a three-year personality development course so I can introduce myself. She was very friendly and all, but unfortunately, she had a boyfriend. So I said, all good, I'm a mature person. I want the best for her and I harbor no illusion that I am the best person for her and she seems happy with her boyfriend, so I did not bother her anymore. But we kept in touch and we became friends and I got over my crush on her. Then she broke up with her boyfriend, we drank some alcohol because of it, I told her she'll be fine and I wished her well. I still think she's the most beautiful woman in the world, but like I said, I am over my crush on her. It was like five years already when I first saw her. Besides, I am quiet happy with the friendship I developed with her. It was more important than a crush. So we kept hanging out, drinking, having coffee, and all. I had a girlfriend, she started dating other guys. My girlfriend wants to live some other life without me in it, so I said, "Okay, I want the best for you and I want you to pursue your happiness." My lady friend and I drank alcohol about it, and she gave me the same advice I gave her when she was in that position and I became okay with the breakup immediately. But we were really drunk, so she spent the night in my apartment. I only have one bed, so you know what that means: She took the bed and I slept on the couch. But on the couch, I really can't sleep. Something was bothering me. So I tossed and turned for about three hours, then I finally can't take it anymore, I stood up and went straight to my room where she's sleeping. I approached the bed, gently sat on it and I reached for her shoulder to pull her closer to me. She stirred and woke up. She asked what's up. I told her, "you know, the first time I saw you, I was watching a video and left it playing to get myself a sandwich then went to the store to get some mayo then I got so distracted by life that I forgot to finish the video." She said, "You know what, I've been wondering about a weird noise in your night drawer." So we opened that drawer, and lo and behold, there's my phone and this video still has two minutes of play time on it.

    I liked The Fall of Hobo Johnson, didn't love it, but appreciated alot of the tracks. I found the cockroach skit to be kinda too long on repeated listens, and some of the shouting adlibs on tracks like Ugly Kid were unappealing - though it did actually endear me to his music after initially hating it. I gave it a chance because of the fantano review, and I'm still glad I did. But this is just sad. It really is like he wanted to get rid of all the good will that album gave him.
