The Idler Wheel...

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.

Pleasant listening experience but not something I'll return to often.

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.
