“An extraordinary piece of art. Simply transcendent.”
“I've been thinking about what makes certain albums transcend their era and become genuinely timeless. It's not just great songwriting or innovative production, though this has both in abundance. It's something harder to define — a sense of inevitability, like these songs had to exist in exactly this form. Nothing feels like it could be different. The more I listen, the more I appreciate the restraint shown here. There are moments where a lesser artist would have overplayed their hand, added another layer, pushed the dynamics further. But every choice here serves the song. It's maximalist and minimalist at the same time somehow. An extraordinary achievement that I think will still be revered in fifty years.”
“Perfect from front to back. Not a single moment wasted.”

Perfect from front to back. Not a single moment wasted.
Incredibly well-crafted. A few moments don't work but the highs are very high.
