Heroes

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

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

A monumental achievement in every sense.

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

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.

A once-in-a-generation artistic achievement.

I appreciate the artistic risk-taking even if the result is a bit of a mess. There are kernels of good ideas scattered throughout but nothing is developed enough to really land. Frustrating because you can hear the potential.

The kind of album that makes you want to pick up an instrument.

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

A disappointing effort from an otherwise talented artist.
