Blackwater Park

Lost me about halfway through. The front end is promising though.

Probably the most perfectly sequenced album I've ever heard. Each track sets up the next one beautifully and the climax hits like a freight train. The fact that they pulled this off is honestly kind of miraculous.

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

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.

Occasionally overindulgent but the quality is undeniable.

An absolute masterpiece from start to finish. Every track earns its place.

Good album that suffers a bit from inconsistency. The highs are worth it though.

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.
