Jun 5, 2023A very solid album, however some of the songs have trouble standing out from the rest
-
Dec 25, 2021This one is definitely a stand-out because musically, there honestly isn't much going on. It's a very stripped-down record that relies heavily on Father John Misty's amazing voice to make and deliver each track and it works, it really does. He's such an underestimated artist that still has yet to get his due despite a rapidly growing fanbase.

Aug 19, 2018I saw this album performed live. It was amazing. FJM is such a great performer although the album itself is kind of disjointed, with tracks feeling kind of safe all things considered. However it is still really great country rock, that I really love.

Jul 21, 2018The melody seems sometimes repetitive. It's a decent album but it does not add anything to your experience as a listener.
-
Jun 24, 2018A good, well produced, emotionally sincere album. A low mark as some of the songs go on a little to long and pale in comparison somewhat to his earlier releases

Jun 17, 2018Perhaps Father John Misty's cynicism and selfishness is not as cutting-edge as it used to be, given the critic reception toward his newest release 'God's Favorite Customer'. Regardless, its an album about the most flawed, yet perfect man alive; filled with cheeky lyricism and hummable melodies that we have come to expect and love.

Jun 5, 2018Rather safe, rather standard, and I'd rather listen to his last album but I appear to be in the minority in that. The degree of melodic and compositional recycling going on here is obscene. Still, it's listenable, the first three songs are solid enough, as are a couple of the later tracks. Still...I prefer antagonistic FJM. Bah.

Jun 4, 2018It's only natural certain doofuses would want to jump ship to another site considering the community they grew up with has mostly become an echo chamber.
FJM is on-point here, more enjoyable than Pure Comedy b/c it's more personal and less social commentary. -
Jun 3, 2018God’s Favorite Customer es el álbum más amigable ala escucha de John Misty, en un intento de comercialización que resulta ser muy bueno y ala vez lleno de calidad.
Tal vez el mejor trabajo discográfico del año hasta el momento o al menos uno de los mejores. -
Jun 2, 2018He did it again! God’s Favorite Customer is an amazing album full of heart-filled ballads, uplifting beats, inward looking self critique with probably some of the best lyrics Josh Tillman has written. He just doesn’t disappoint.
-
Jun 1, 2018good performances good production it's not perfect but it has a lot going for it and honestly i liked it way more then pure comedy
-
Jun 1, 2018In many ways, this album serves as the anti-ILYHB. God's Favorite Customer features one heartbreaker after the other and often feels like the post-honeymoon phase of Tillman's songwriting. The album provides no pretense and is just straight-forward, beautiful, melancholy.
-
Jun 1, 2018Such a sad and honest album. Wonderful production by a truly singular voice, double entendre intended.
-
Jun 1, 2018Not a Father John Misty fan. Never listened to a full album by him before this. I listened to the opening song of Pure Comedy and I didn't like it. I decided to try this new album cause I liked the cover. Wow. I'm pleasantly suprised. The album is very calm and relaxing to listen to. FJM's vocals are beautiful and the lyrics aren't bad at all. I'm really loving this project.
-
Jun 1, 2018Since the release of Mr. Tillman, I was already positive for what's to come. And after listening the album a few times, I'm really admired with this artist. I can see some influence in "Please don't die" from "Ballad of a Dying Man" of his last album.
-
Jun 1, 2018Fantastic album- everything we love about FJM with a new vibe to it, too. Heartbreaking, honest, hilarious, ultimately uplifting.

Oct 5, 2018While still supremely self-important, he probes his emotions like a narcissist at the mirror. The difficulty/trick comes in wondering whether Tillman goes out of his way to trip himself up.
-
Jun 7, 2018God’s Favorite Customer is the next chapter to Honeybear: the story of the hedonistic shroom-addled Hollywood waster who fell in love and started to grow up, even if the occasional pelvic thrust, sardonically raised eyebrow or over-dramatic fall to the floor wouldn’t go amiss.
-
Jun 6, 2018God’s Favorite Customer isn’t a bad album, yet it still feels like the weak link in the grand scheme of things. Fans of his previous work will still get a lot out of Misty's latest, but despite its subject matter, this album feels a little safe and inconsequential.
