“Flawless execution of an ambitious vision. This is why we love music.”
“Lost me about halfway through. The front end is promising though.”
“Probably the most perfectly sequenced album I've ever heard. Each track sets up the next one beautifully and the climax hits like a freight train. The fact that they pulled this off is honestly kind of miraculous.”
“I genuinely don't understand the hype. This was a slog to get through.”
“A few tracks could have been cut without losing anything, but what's here is largely excellent. The production is gorgeous and the performances are top-notch. One of the better albums I've heard recently.”
“Occasionally overindulgent but the quality is undeniable.”
“I genuinely don't understand the hype. This was a slog to get through.”
“An absolute masterpiece from start to finish. Every track earns its place.”
“Good album that suffers a bit from inconsistency. The highs are worth it though.”
“Some interesting ideas here that don't always pan out. You can tell they were trying to push in a new direction and I respect that, even if the results are mixed. A couple of tracks are genuinely great.”
“This album has been in heavy rotation for me since it came out. It's not quite flawless — there's a stretch in the middle that loses momentum, and one track I usually skip — but the highs are so high that the minor dips barely register. The opening three tracks alone would make this worth owning. What I appreciate most is the willingness to take risks. Not every experiment lands perfectly, but the ones that do are genuinely thrilling. You can hear an artist pushing past their comfort zone and finding something new. That kind of creative courage is rare and should be celebrated even when the results are imperfect.”
“An absolute masterpiece from start to finish. Every track earns its place.”
“I want to like this more than I do. There are three or four tracks here that are genuinely excellent — inventive, well-produced, emotionally resonant. But the album as a whole doesn't sustain that level. The middle section in particular feels like it's treading water, and the closing track, while ambitious, goes on too long. That said, I do think this is worth hearing. At its best, it shows real creative vision, and even the weaker tracks have interesting ideas in them. It just needed a more ruthless editing pass to trim the good from the great.”
“Really strong album with only a couple of tracks that don't quite land.”
“There are about six really good songs here buried in an album that's twelve tracks too long. The edit would be excellent but as presented, it's a patience-testing listen that rewards skipping around.”
“I come back to this every few months and find something new each time.”
“Some truly transcendent moments here. A few tracks feel like filler but overall stellar.”
“There's a really great EP buried inside this album. The problem is the surrounding material dilutes the impact. When this hits, it HITS — a couple of these tracks are among the best things they've ever done. But then you get a run of three mediocre songs in a row and the momentum completely dies. I appreciate the attempt at a longer, more ambitious project, but I think this artist works better in shorter formats. The ideas here are strong but they're stretched too thin. Still worth hearing for the highlights though.”
“A high watermark for the genre. Essential listening.”
“A few good tracks don't save a mostly underwhelming album.”
