There are about six really good songs here buried in an album that's twelve tracks too long. The edit would be excellent but as presented, it's a patience-testing listen that rewards skipping around.

Enjoyable but not groundbreaking. Good for what it is.

Good album that suffers a bit from inconsistency. The highs are worth it though.

I respect the ambition but this doesn't work for me.

Love the sonic palette on this record. Every sound feels intentional and the mix is pristine. A couple of the songs blur together on casual listens but focused listening reveals the nuances. Very strong work overall.

Pretentious and meandering. Style over substance.

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

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.
