Ten

This grew on me enormously. What initially seemed messy revealed itself as brilliant.

Not quite their best work but honestly that's a high bar. This is still a fantastic album by any reasonable standard. The songwriting is sharp, the sound is distinctive, and it's got great replay value.

The definition of a classic. Will be listened to for centuries.

Great album that rewards repeated listens. Gets better every time.

Some great moments here but it doesn't quite sustain over the full runtime.

Some interesting ideas that don't always come together.

An absolute masterpiece from start to finish. Every track earns its place.

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.

I put off listening to this for years because the hype felt overwhelming. How could anything live up to that kind of consensus? But when I finally sat down with good headphones and gave it my full attention, I understood immediately. This isn't an album you casually appreciate — it demands and rewards your complete focus. What strikes me most is the emotional range. It moves from devastating vulnerability to towering confidence, from intimate whispers to massive sonic landscapes, and it all feels organic. The transitions never feel jarring even when they probably should. That's a level of craft that very few artists achieve even once in their career.

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