Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven

I played this for my partner who doesn't even like this genre and they were blown away. That's the sign of a truly great album — it transcends taste. The hooks are undeniable, the depth is real, and the replay value is infinite.

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.

I've written and deleted this review probably five times now because I keep feeling like I'm not doing it justice. How do you review something that feels this essential? Every time I think I've identified what makes it great, I notice something else. The interplay between the instruments. The way the dynamics shift. The moments of silence that hit harder than any note. I think what makes this a genuine masterpiece rather than just a very good album is its sense of completeness. It doesn't feel like a collection of songs — it feels like a world you step into. And when it's over, you feel genuinely different than when you started. Not many albums can claim that.

Really impressive debut that announced a major new talent. There are a few rough edges that betray inexperience, but the raw ability and creative vision are undeniable. Can't wait to hear what comes next.

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

Returned to this after a few years away and it hit even harder than I remembered. Some albums age poorly but this one has only gotten better with time. The themes feel more relevant now than ever and the sonics still sound fresh.

The arrangements here are stunning. You can tell real care went into every detail.
