Drunk Drivers/Killer Whales

Really impressive album that showcases an artist at a creative peak. The range of sounds and moods they explore here is remarkable, and what's more impressive is that it all feels cohesive rather than scattered. The transitions between tracks are so smooth you barely notice them. There are a handful of moments where the ambition slightly exceeds the execution — a lyric that doesn't quite land, a sonic idea that needed a bit more development — but these are minor blemishes on an otherwise excellent record. The standout tracks here are among the best songs released in the last decade.

Seek & Destroy

This has some of the best individual songs of the decade even if the album has weak spots.

Seek & Destroy

The production is excellent but the songwriting doesn't always match up.

Seek & Destroy

A disappointing effort from an otherwise talented artist.

Change (In the House of Flies)

I tried multiple times but can't connect with this at all.

Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain

A few incredible songs surrounded by more forgettable material.

All Apologies

I was skeptical of the hype but this completely lives up to it.

All Apologies

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

Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger

Inventive and consistently engaging. One of the better albums I've heard this year.

Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger

There are flashes of brilliance but also some tracks that feel underdeveloped.

Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger

This hits a sweet spot between accessibility and experimentation that very few albums manage. It's catchy enough to enjoy casually but deep enough to reward close listening. Smart, well-crafted music.

Billie Jean

I wanted this to be better than it is. The ingredients are all there — the talent, the ambition, the production budget — but it never quite gels into something greater than the sum of its parts. Still a pleasant enough listen though.

Ain't It Funny

I've given this the benefit of the doubt across multiple listens over multiple years and my opinion hasn't budged. Overrated, overlong, and overwrought. The good moments are too few and far between to justify the runtime.

Hound Dog

This grew on me enormously. What initially seemed messy revealed itself as brilliant.

It's Too Late

I tried multiple times but can't connect with this at all.

It's Too Late

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.

Die for You

The singles are obvious highlights but the deep cuts are excellent too.

Die for You

Took a few listens to click but now I can't stop playing it.

One

Timeless. I've listened hundreds of times and it never gets old.
