Reviews
Fine album from a good band. Nothing offensive, nothing transcendent. It sits comfortably in the middle of their discography and that's okay. Not everything needs to be a masterpiece to be worth your time.
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.
Some truly transcendent moments here. A few tracks feel like filler but overall stellar.
I respect the ambition but this doesn't work for me.
The emotional depth here is staggering. I was completely floored the first time.
The atmosphere this album creates is incredible.
This grew on me a lot. First listen I thought it was good, not great. By the fifth listen I was completely hooked. The subtlety of the arrangements really rewards patience and close attention.
There's a reason this is universally acclaimed. It really is that good.
The emotional weight of this album is remarkable. Very moving stuff.
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.
