Which album would Imagination best fit into?
I personally believe it would fit in Sacred Hearts Club

I personally believe it would fit in Sacred Hearts Club
"The range explored on Sacred Hearts Club is both its biggest strength and greatest weakness. The highs are high for sure, but the lows are just low. I think Foster the People could have been a bit more conservative in their variety, but there is something to be said about their ability to balance so many sounds. Regardless, this record was very interesting, and I’ll definitely be looking more into the band."
OVERALL SCORE: 6/10
Favorite track: SHC
Least favorite track: Loyal Like Sid & Nancy

I'd love to hear other people's thoughts on this project.
I know it’s only been 2 years since PSoM and they are on tour for this year, but what do you think their next album will be like? Paradise State of Mind leaned into the 70s, and I think they would absolutely kill an 80s style album. But I digress what would you like to see Foster the People do in the future?
I like it, but it wasn't as succesful commercially as their previous albums although it did well with critics who gave it a positive review and score of 75 on Metacritic as opposed to the mixed reception of Supermodel and Sacred Hearts Club.
The second one I made around the time they were hyping and promoting Paradise State of Mind
I know 18 Months is more EDM/pop than indie or rock, but if we’re talking about albums that sound like summer, I feel like it absolutely belongs in the conversation.
This album sounds like festivals, car speakers, parties, beach days, and nights where every chorus feels way bigger than life. “We’ll Be Coming Back,” “Thinking About You,” and “Feel So Close” all have that huge warm-weather energy.
It’s not subtle, but I think that’s the point. Sometimes the best summer album is the one that makes everything feel brighter, louder, and more ridiculous in the best way.
I talked about 18 Months in a new episode of my music podcast, Record Room, where I picked 5 albums that sound like summer. I linked the episode here in case anyone wants to check it out.
What Calvin Harris song gives you the strongest summer feeling?
