“Not terrible but certainly not deserving of the acclaim.”
“This was the album that got me into this genre and honestly nothing else has matched it since. The songwriting is inspired, the performances are committed, and the whole thing hangs together as a complete artistic vision. Masterful stuff.”
“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.”
“A good album in a discography full of great ones.”
“This is fine but I expected more given the critical consensus.”
“Took a few listens to click but now I can't stop playing it.”
“A mature, confident album that knows exactly what it wants to be. No wasted tracks, no unnecessary detours. It doesn't reinvent the wheel but it polishes it to a brilliant shine. Thoroughly enjoyable.”
“Really strong album with only a couple of tracks that don't quite land.”
“This grew on me enormously. What initially seemed messy revealed itself as brilliant.”
“A rewarding listen that demands your full attention.”
“Inventive and consistently engaging. One of the better albums I've heard this year.”
“Fine album from a good band. Nothing offensive, nothing transcendent. It sits comfortably in the middle of their discography and that's okay. Not everything needs to be a masterpiece to be worth your time.”
“Overrated in my opinion. There's some good stuff here but not enough.”
“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.”
“Occasionally overindulgent but the quality is undeniable.”
“Not for me at all. I can see the craft but it does absolutely nothing for me.”
“A good album in a discography full of great ones.”
“Arguably the greatest album in its genre. Hard to argue otherwise.”
“The atmosphere this album creates is incredible.”
“The emotional depth here is staggering. I was completely floored the first time.”
