"Air of the Day" unfurls slowly, spreading slowly evolving pads over a hearty bassline and ratcheting up a level with staccato synth blasts in its final minute. "The Shit Baby" features a deft, familiar piano solo. It feels like a change in direction for an artist whose blocky, proto-house compositions resembled Kraftwerk as often as, say, Derrick Carter, and parts of Thank You feel like homages to classic house tropes. Thank You learns from "Trance"'s success, berating us with kindness, offering wistful, major-key tracks out of step with Omar's reputation for hissy lo-fi concoctions. It wasn't all love, though, as It Can Be Done also featured a track of continuously sampled hardcore pornography that is not to be spun if you share a wall with neighbors. On 2011's It Can Be Done But Only I Can Do It, Omar unleashed the biggest hit of his career in "Here's Your Trance Now Dance", 10 minutes of find-your-core, light-bright synthesizers more anthemic- or maybe just happier- than anything else in Omar's catalog.
