The singles are obvious highlights but the deep cuts are excellent too.

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

A few tracks could have been cut without losing anything, but what's here is largely excellent. The production is gorgeous and the performances are top-notch. One of the better albums I've heard recently.

I've given this album a fair shot — probably seven or eight full listens — and I just can't connect with it the way so many people seem to. The opening track drew me in with its promise of something special, but the album never delivers on that promise. It keeps gesturing toward profundity without actually achieving it. The production is admittedly impressive from a technical standpoint, and there are flashes of genuine songwriting talent. But too much of this feels like an artist trying to be Important with a capital I rather than just making good music. I wanted to love it, I really did.

Changed the way I think about music. Nothing else sounds like this.

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

Lost me about halfway through. The front end is promising though.

I've listened to this front to back more times than I can count and it never loses its magic. The production is meticulous without ever feeling sterile, and every track contributes something essential to the whole. One of those albums that genuinely changed my taste in music.

Flawless execution of an ambitious vision. This is why we love music.

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