“Coming back to this after not listening for a couple years and I'm struck by how well it holds up. The things I loved originally — the melodic inventiveness, the emotional sincerity, the way it balances accessibility with depth — are all still there. And some of the tracks I initially overlooked have become favorites. It's not a perfect album. The second half doesn't sustain quite the same energy as the first, and there's one production choice that I still find slightly distracting. But taken as a whole, this is a deeply satisfying listen that I'd recommend to pretty much anyone. The kind of album that transcends genre boundaries.”

“I can see why people love this but it didn't grab me the way I expected.”
