Disintegration

Peak creative output from an artist at the top of their game.

Love the sonic palette on this record. Every sound feels intentional and the mix is pristine. A couple of the songs blur together on casual listens but focused listening reveals the nuances. Very strong work overall.

A monumental achievement in every sense.

I go back and forth on this — some days it's a 4, some days it's a 4.5. The inconsistency in my own feelings about it probably reflects the slight inconsistency of the album itself. But at its best, this is breathtaking.

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

I appreciate what they were going for even if it doesn't fully land.

There's not a wasted second on this record. Even the interludes and transitions feel purposeful. I've seen people debate which track is the best and the fact that there's no consensus tells you everything about how consistently excellent it is.

A few tracks could have been cut without losing anything, but what's here is largely excellent. The production is gorgeous and the performances are top-notch. One of the better albums I've heard recently.

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

Some truly transcendent moments here. A few tracks feel like filler but overall stellar.
