So Much (For) Stardust was a pretty solid comeback, at least. Heartbreak Feels So Good and The Kintsugi Kid are right up there with their best songs imo
I regularly listen to their entire discography and I'm convinced that MANIA was necessary for So Much (For) Stardust to even exist the way it does. I don't know jack shit about music theory but there are some sounds in Stardust that I can feel in my bones evolved straight from MANIA, I just don't know how to articulate it.
SMfS is objectively a fucking banger of an album and anyone who says otherwise is just flat out lying to themselves.
