Folklore

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

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

An extraordinary piece of art. Simply transcendent.

Flawless execution of an ambitious vision. This is why we love music.

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.

I come back to this every few months and find something new each time.

I slept on this for way too long. A friend kept recommending it and I kept putting it off, and now I feel like I wasted years not having this in my life. The songwriting is remarkably assured — these aren't the kind of hooks that grab you immediately and then fade. They're the slow-burn kind that embed themselves in your brain and only get stronger over time. The production deserves a lot of credit too. It's detailed without being cluttered, polished without being sterile. There's a warmth to the sound that makes it feel alive and breathing. A few tracks could have been trimmed but honestly that's a minor complaint about an excellent record.

Few albums have had this kind of impact on me. I distinctly remember finishing it for the first time and immediately starting it over from the beginning. The sonic palette is unlike anything else — familiar enough to be accessible but strange enough to keep pulling you deeper. Every instrument occupies its own perfect space in the mix. What elevates this beyond just great music is the emotional honesty. You can feel the lived experience behind every note. It doesn't perform vulnerability, it embodies it. And somehow it manages to be both deeply personal and universally resonant. That's an almost impossible balance to strike and they nailed it.

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

Dense and complex but never pretentious. Excellent stuff.

A confident, mature work. You can hear the growth from their earlier releases.

A once-in-a-generation artistic achievement.

I played this for my partner who doesn't even like this genre and they were blown away. That's the sign of a truly great album — it transcends taste. The hooks are undeniable, the depth is real, and the replay value is infinite.

Came to this late and wish I'd found it sooner. The way it balances experimentation with accessibility is remarkable — it never dumbs things down but it never alienates you either. Every listen reveals something I missed before. Absolutely essential.

A rewarding listen that demands your full attention.

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.

The atmosphere this album creates is incredible.

The kind of album that makes you want to pick up an instrument.

The first half of this album is some of the best music I've ever heard. The second half is merely great. That slight drop-off is the only thing keeping this from a perfect score. Still an essential listen.

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