The synth is supposed to be loud. The beats are supposed to be strong. The words are supposed to be listened to and mean something. “I Love You” is supposed to be listened to. The alternative rock of The Neighbourhood has a purpose for every song and every lyric. The honesty about life is sung about in “Afraid”, and wishes about life are put to words in “Alleyways”. “I Love You” is The Neighbourhood’s first album.
