The White Album

Flawless execution of an ambitious vision. This is why we love music.

I keep seeing this on 'best of' lists and I honestly think people are just copying each other's homework at this point. There's nothing here that hasn't been done better elsewhere. The emperor has no clothes and the praise is baffling.

The kind of album where you sit in silence after it ends.

There's a reason this is universally acclaimed. It really is that good.

This has some of the best individual songs of the decade even if the album has weak spots.

This album is a complete artistic statement. No filler, no compromises.

Really impressive debut that announced a major new talent. There are a few rough edges that betray inexperience, but the raw ability and creative vision are undeniable. Can't wait to hear what comes next.

Good album that suffers a bit from inconsistency. The highs are worth it though.

Changed the way I think about music. Nothing else sounds like this.

There's a before and after with this album. It changed everything.
