    This was extremely disappointing and sounded cheap. It almost sounded like a fan making a "Mac Demarco type beat" on youtube.

    Mac Demarco is a gifted song writer.
    Now here are 14 instrumentals made on a long and spontaneous solo road trip.
    Though each track is named for where it was recorded, there’s not any connection to the location, it's all nice but just boring. The instrumentals are utterly uninspired, so skip this album if you want to listen to something interesting. I will continue to love Mac DeMarco    Mac Demarco is a gifted song writer.

    I will continue to love Mac DeMarco in spite of this crappy album which he should have kept for himself.    … Expand

    This is no holding exercise. Instead, think beautifully conceived curio. [Apr 2023, p.85]

    Despite the scattered and itinerant nature of the process, there's a pleasing coherence and warmth to the record. [Apr 2023, p.26]

    ‘Five Easy Hot Dogs’ isn’t going to win DeMarco any more fans, nor will it distract from his past triumphs. ... This instrumental offering will, like most of his tunes, act as great company for those who just wanna lay back and disconnect from it all.
