Love love love the idea, pretty good on the execution. Despite being only 49 minutes, this feels like it runs 20 minutes too long. The precision and dedication to making these '80s beats and instrumentals so crisp deserve props. Tons of different moments on here are distinctly '80s but lodged in modern-day production to a perfect degree. The only gripe I have is that, due to sticking to such a rigid time capsule of style, it runs a bit long. If you go back and listen to a lot of 80s records that are inspired by this, and I don't mean the greats from the 80s. You will find albums that either start to get a bit boring or branch out and experiment. I think some more experimentation would have done this some good in the latter half. Overall, I do respect Doja even going for some of those slightly out of tune notes from the time period as well. While they didn't stick around for very long in popular music, they show true attention to detail and talent when pulling inspiration from 40 years ago.
