Puberty 2

The arrangements here are stunning. You can tell real care went into every detail.

I come back to this every few months and find something new each time.

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.

One of those albums where you can hear the artist really pushing themselves.

Started strong but lost me in the back half. The opening three tracks had me excited and then it just sort of coasts on autopilot. Would have been a much stronger EP than it is an album.

I've tried writing about this album so many times and words always fall short.

This is one of those rare albums where everything just clicks. Pure genius.

Terrific front to back. There's a reason people keep coming back to this.

I've introduced maybe a dozen friends to this album and every single one of them has become a fan. That kind of universal appeal combined with genuine artistic depth is incredibly rare. This is the real deal.

Probably the most perfectly sequenced album I've ever heard. Each track sets up the next one beautifully and the climax hits like a freight train. The fact that they pulled this off is honestly kind of miraculous.
