Year-end lists are my Super Bowl.
Taste Snapshot
“This took a while to grow on me. My first impression was honestly lukewarm — it seemed solid but not special. But something kept pulling me back, and around the fourth or fifth listen, the whole thing suddenly opened up. What I'd initially dismissed as simplicity revealed itself as remarkable economy. Every note is exactly where it needs to be. Now I consider it one of the better albums in my collection. The emotional arc is beautifully constructed, building from understated opening tracks to a genuinely powerful climax. A couple of tracks in the middle still feel slightly underdeveloped, but the overall experience is deeply rewarding.”
“Ambitious album that mostly delivers. There are one or two moments where they overreach, but the confidence and vision on display are admirable. The standout tracks here are absolutely world-class.”
