Red Headed Stranger

The emotional depth here is staggering. I was completely floored the first time.

Love the sonic palette on this record. Every sound feels intentional and the mix is pristine. A couple of the songs blur together on casual listens but focused listening reveals the nuances. Very strong work overall.

The first half is near-perfect. Second half is still great but slightly less focused.

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.

I respect the ambition but this doesn't work for me.

Enjoyable but not groundbreaking. Good for what it is.

Worth a listen but doesn't demand repeat plays.

This is one of those albums where even the deep cuts could be singles. The level of quality control here is insane. You can tell every decision was agonized over and it shows in the final product. A genuine landmark.

A landmark release that deserves every bit of praise it gets.

Feels self-indulgent in places. Could have been much better with editing.
