The Bends

Some interesting ideas here that don't always pan out. You can tell they were trying to push in a new direction and I respect that, even if the results are mixed. A couple of tracks are genuinely great.

Love the sonic palette on this record. Every sound feels intentional and the mix is pristine. A couple of the songs blur together on casual listens but focused listening reveals the nuances. Very strong work overall.

The talent is obvious but the execution is inconsistent.

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.

Great album that rewards repeated listens. Gets better every time.

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

A solid album with some standout tracks, but a bit uneven overall.

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.

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.

Bold artistic choices that mostly work. Rewarding for patient listeners.

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

A solid album with some standout tracks, but a bit uneven overall.

A Moon Shaped Pool

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

A Moon Shaped Pool

Respectable effort with some genuinely strong tracks mixed in.

A Moon Shaped Pool

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.

A Moon Shaped Pool

Some great moments here but it doesn't quite sustain over the full runtime.
