This album has been in heavy rotation for me since it came out. It's not quite flawless — there's a stretch in the middle that loses momentum, and one track I usually skip — but the highs are so high that the minor dips barely register. The opening three tracks alone would make this worth owning. What I appreciate most is the willingness to take risks. Not every experiment lands perfectly, but the ones that do are genuinely thrilling. You can hear an artist pushing past their comfort zone and finding something new. That kind of creative courage is rare and should be celebrated even when the results are imperfect.

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

Not for me at all. I can see the craft but it does absolutely nothing for me.

Some truly transcendent moments here. A few tracks feel like filler but overall stellar.
