Puberty 2

This was the album that got me into this genre and honestly nothing else has matched it since. The songwriting is inspired, the performances are committed, and the whole thing hangs together as a complete artistic vision. Masterful stuff.

Came to this late and wish I'd found it sooner. The way it balances experimentation with accessibility is remarkable — it never dumbs things down but it never alienates you either. Every listen reveals something I missed before. Absolutely essential.

I genuinely don't understand the hype. This was a slog to get through.

The first half of this album is some of the best music I've ever heard. The second half is merely great. That slight drop-off is the only thing keeping this from a perfect score. Still an essential listen.
