Funeral

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

I remember exactly where I was when I first heard this and how it made me feel. Very few albums create that kind of indelible memory. The craft on display here is extraordinary but it never feels cold or calculated — there's real heart behind every note.

Bold artistic choices that mostly work. Rewarding for patient listeners.

An essential listen for anyone who cares about music. Period.

The production alone is worth the listen, but the songwriting elevates it further.

This album exists in its own universe. Nothing compares.
