Low

Impressive range shown here — from quiet intimacy to explosive catharsis.

I can see why this has its fans but it just doesn't connect with me the way their other work does. The songwriting feels less inspired and the production, while technically impressive, feels a bit sterile. A few standout moments keep it from being a total miss.

Not just a great album — a cultural touchstone.

Fine album from a good band. Nothing offensive, nothing transcendent. It sits comfortably in the middle of their discography and that's okay. Not everything needs to be a masterpiece to be worth your time.

Really strong album with only a couple of tracks that don't quite land.

Just when you think you've heard it all, an album like this comes along.

Came to this late and wish I'd found it sooner. The way it balances experimentation with accessibility is remarkable — it never dumbs things down but it never alienates you either. Every listen reveals something I missed before. Absolutely essential.

Really strong album with only a couple of tracks that don't quite land.

The production is excellent but the songwriting doesn't always match up.

Competent and often enjoyable, but feels like it's missing something to make it truly special.
