I listen to new music like it's a competitive sport.

Taste Snapshot

This is one of those albums where even the deep cuts could be singles. The level of quality control here is insane. You can tell every decision was agonized over and it shows in the final product. A genuine landmark.

There's a certain kind of album that doesn't just sit in your collection — it becomes part of your identity. This is one of those albums for me. I first heard it during a really formative time in my life and it shaped how I think about what music can be and do. The ambition here is enormous but what's remarkable is that the execution matches it completely. There's not a single moment that feels forced or unnecessary. The sequencing deserves special mention. The way the energy builds and releases across the tracklist is masterful. You can tell this was crafted as a complete experience, not just a collection of songs. Every track is essential to the whole, and removing any one of them would fundamentally change what the album is.

A thoroughly enjoyable listen from start to finish.

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