Taste Snapshot
“An extraordinary piece of art. Simply transcendent.”
“A confident, mature work. You can hear the growth from their earlier releases.”
“I've given this album a fair shot — probably seven or eight full listens — and I just can't connect with it the way so many people seem to. The opening track drew me in with its promise of something special, but the album never delivers on that promise. It keeps gesturing toward profundity without actually achieving it. The production is admittedly impressive from a technical standpoint, and there are flashes of genuine songwriting talent. But too much of this feels like an artist trying to be Important with a capital I rather than just making good music. I wanted to love it, I really did.”

Feels self-indulgent in places. Could have been much better with editing.
