“The ideas are there but the execution falls flat too often.”
“Impressive range shown here — from quiet intimacy to explosive catharsis.”
“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.”
“What sets this apart from other great albums is the consistency. There's no filler, no dips in quality, just track after track of brilliance. The emotional arc from start to finish is perfectly constructed. An easy 5.”
“This was the album that got me into this genre and honestly nothing else has matched it since. The songwriting is inspired, the performances are committed, and the whole thing hangs together as a complete artistic vision. Masterful stuff.”
“Overrated in my opinion. There's some good stuff here but not enough.”
“A landmark release that deserves every bit of praise it gets.”
“A disappointing effort from an otherwise talented artist.”
“Tried really hard to get into this and gave it way more chances than most albums. Some sections are legitimately interesting but they're sandwiched between long stretches of tedium. Not worth the effort for most listeners.”
“An absolute masterpiece from start to finish. Every track earns its place.”
“A confident, mature work. You can hear the growth from their earlier releases.”
“I tried multiple times but can't connect with this at all.”
“I've listened to this front to back more times than I can count and it never loses its magic. The production is meticulous without ever feeling sterile, and every track contributes something essential to the whole. One of those albums that genuinely changed my taste in music.”
“A few good tracks don't save a mostly underwhelming album.”
“Middle of the road for this artist. Not bad by any means but not essential.”
“The production is excellent but the songwriting doesn't always match up.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Not sure what happened here. Their previous work was so strong and this feels like a significant step backward. The songwriting is lazy, the production is overwrought, and the whole thing feels phoned in. A couple of decent tracks don't save it.”
“Really strong record that just misses the mark of perfection in a few spots. The highs here are genuinely incredible though, and even the weaker tracks are better than most artists' best work. Highly recommended.”
