Taste Snapshot
“I've written and deleted this review probably five times now because I keep feeling like I'm not doing it justice. How do you review something that feels this essential? Every time I think I've identified what makes it great, I notice something else. The interplay between the instruments. The way the dynamics shift. The moments of silence that hit harder than any note. I think what makes this a genuine masterpiece rather than just a very good album is its sense of completeness. It doesn't feel like a collection of songs — it feels like a world you step into. And when it's over, you feel genuinely different than when you started. Not many albums can claim that.”
“This has some of the best individual songs of the decade even if the album has weak spots.”
