I'm not sure that's the case. I'm not a huge fan of Mystified and I love Carnival Begins. There's good aspects about the track- the guitar playing around the middle and end is super relaxing and Christine's singing on the verse with "The light that shines around you, it blinds my eyes" line is beautiful. The song is harder for me to get into though because the lyrics are kind of trite at the beginning and the music is just absolutely SACCHARINE, which is sort of a turn-off for me personally. There's zero edge. I get that it's the intention of the song to have that vibe but it's not to my taste unfortunately. That said, it has its place on the album and absolutely contributes to that twinkly, ethereal feeling the whole thing has.
