This album is a complete artistic statement. No filler, no compromises.
This is one of those rare albums where everything just clicks. Pure genius.
A confident, mature work. You can hear the growth from their earlier releases.
Not for me at all. I can see the craft but it does absolutely nothing for me.
I was skeptical of the hype but this completely lives up to it.
Flawless execution of an ambitious vision. This is why we love music.
There's not a wasted second on this record. Even the interludes and transitions feel purposeful. I've seen people debate which track is the best and the fact that there's no consensus tells you everything about how consistently excellent it is.
This is one of those albums where even the deep cuts could be singles. The level of quality control here is insane. You can tell every decision was agonized over and it shows in the final product. A genuine landmark.
A mature, confident album that knows exactly what it wants to be. No wasted tracks, no unnecessary detours. It doesn't reinvent the wheel but it polishes it to a brilliant shine. Thoroughly enjoyable.
Inventive and consistently engaging. One of the better albums I've heard this year.
