Southeastern

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

A rewarding listen that demands your full attention.

Coming back to this after not listening for a couple years and I'm struck by how well it holds up. The things I loved originally — the melodic inventiveness, the emotional sincerity, the way it balances accessibility with depth — are all still there. And some of the tracks I initially overlooked have become favorites. It's not a perfect album. The second half doesn't sustain quite the same energy as the first, and there's one production choice that I still find slightly distracting. But taken as a whole, this is a deeply satisfying listen that I'd recommend to pretty much anyone. The kind of album that transcends genre boundaries.

One of those albums where you can hear the artist really pushing themselves.

An essential listen for anyone who cares about music. Period.

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

Every generation has a handful of perfect albums. This is one of them.

Really strong album with only a couple of tracks that don't quite land.

Not their absolute best work but still head and shoulders above most albums.

This grew on me a lot. First listen I thought it was good, not great. By the fifth listen I was completely hooked. The subtlety of the arrangements really rewards patience and close attention.
