Diamond Life

A monumental achievement in every sense.

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.

Respectable effort with some genuinely strong tracks mixed in.

Middle of the road for this artist. Not bad by any means but not essential.

Some interesting ideas here that don't always pan out. You can tell they were trying to push in a new direction and I respect that, even if the results are mixed. A couple of tracks are genuinely great.

There are flashes of brilliance but also some tracks that feel underdeveloped.

A few incredible songs surrounded by more forgettable material.

Impressive range shown here — from quiet intimacy to explosive catharsis.

This is fine but I expected more given the critical consensus.

The talent is obvious but the execution is inconsistent.
