Depression Cherry

This was the album that got me into this genre and honestly nothing else has matched it since. The songwriting is inspired, the performances are committed, and the whole thing hangs together as a complete artistic vision. Masterful stuff.

This is fine but I expected more given the critical consensus.

I've listened to this front to back more times than I can count and it never loses its magic. The production is meticulous without ever feeling sterile, and every track contributes something essential to the whole. One of those albums that genuinely changed my taste in music.

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

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

A decent listen but it doesn't hold up to repeated plays the way their best work does.

The first half is near-perfect. Second half is still great but slightly less focused.

A landmark release that deserves every bit of praise it gets.

I keep trying to find something wrong with this album and I genuinely can't. The melodies are gorgeous, the arrangements are inventive, the lyrics are thoughtful without being pretentious. It just fires on every cylinder from start to finish.

Ambitious album that mostly delivers. There are one or two moments where they overreach, but the confidence and vision on display are admirable. The standout tracks here are absolutely world-class.
