Perfect from front to back. Not a single moment wasted.

Inventive and consistently engaging. One of the better albums I've heard this year.

This has some of the best individual songs of the decade even if the album has weak spots.

A good album in a discography full of great ones.

This grew on me enormously. What initially seemed messy revealed itself as brilliant.

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 given this the benefit of the doubt across multiple listens over multiple years and my opinion hasn't budged. Overrated, overlong, and overwrought. The good moments are too few and far between to justify the runtime.

There's a reason this is universally acclaimed. It really is that good.

There's a before and after with this album. It changed everything.

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