“Not their absolute best work but still head and shoulders above most albums.”
“Returned to this after a few years away and it hit even harder than I remembered. Some albums age poorly but this one has only gotten better with time. The themes feel more relevant now than ever and the sonics still sound fresh.”
“This album exists in its own universe. Nothing compares.”
“Really impressive debut that announced a major new talent. There are a few rough edges that betray inexperience, but the raw ability and creative vision are undeniable. Can't wait to hear what comes next.”
“One of those albums that people praise because it's 'different' and 'challenging' but different and challenging aren't inherently good. The few moments of genuine quality make the rest feel even more disappointing by comparison.”
“This grew on me enormously. What initially seemed messy revealed itself as brilliant.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Dense and complex but never pretentious. Excellent stuff.”
“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.”
“Perfect from front to back. Not a single moment wasted.”
“Started strong but lost me in the back half. The opening three tracks had me excited and then it just sort of coasts on autopilot. Would have been a much stronger EP than it is an album.”
“Changed the way I think about music. Nothing else sounds like this.”
“A very cohesive listen. The sequencing is particularly impressive.”
“Revisiting this for what must be my 200th listen and it still gives me chills at the same moments. The mark of a truly great album is that it never loses its power no matter how familiar it becomes. If anything, knowing what's coming makes the anticipation even better. I played this for a friend recently who had somehow never heard it, and watching their face during certain moments was like experiencing it for the first time all over again. The sharp intake of breath during that one transition. The slow smile spreading during the climax. This album connects on a primal level that transcends taste or genre preference.”
“Overrated in my opinion. There's some good stuff here but not enough.”
“Some interesting ideas that don't always come together.”
“An extraordinary piece of art. Simply transcendent.”
“There's a before and after with this album. It changed everything.”
“Flawless execution of an ambitious vision. This is why we love music.”
