I remember exactly where I was when I first heard this and how it made me feel. Very few albums create that kind of indelible memory. The craft on display here is extraordinary but it never feels cold or calculated — there's real heart behind every note.

A few tracks could have been cut without losing anything, but what's here is largely excellent. The production is gorgeous and the performances are top-notch. One of the better albums I've heard recently.

The talent is obvious but the execution is inconsistent.

Some interesting ideas that don't always come together.

Incredibly overrated. One of the most baffling critical darlings out there.

Incredibly well-crafted. A few moments don't work but the highs are very high.

Flawless execution of an ambitious vision. This is why we love music.
