Master of Reality

The atmosphere this album creates is incredible.

I tried multiple times but can't connect with this at all.

I appreciate what they were going for even if it doesn't fully land.

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

There are about six really good songs here buried in an album that's twelve tracks too long. The edit would be excellent but as presented, it's a patience-testing listen that rewards skipping around.

Some interesting ideas that don't always come together.

The instrumentation is gorgeous throughout. Really well produced.

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

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

Perfectly serviceable album that I enjoy in the moment but forget about as soon as it's over. That's not necessarily a criticism — sometimes you just want something pleasant on in the background. It fills that role well.
