“This hits a sweet spot between accessibility and experimentation that very few albums manage. It's catchy enough to enjoy casually but deep enough to reward close listening. Smart, well-crafted music.”
“Incredibly overrated. One of the most baffling critical darlings out there.”
“I tried multiple times but can't connect with this at all.”
“I went into this with an open mind and came out confused about its reputation. The songwriting is meandering, the production choices are baffling, and the whole thing feels about twice as long as it needs to be. There are maybe two tracks that justify their existence and the rest is filler. I don't begrudge anyone who loves this — art is subjective and all that — but I find the unanimous critical acclaim mystifying. This felt like homework, not music. I kept waiting for the moment where it all clicks and it just never came.”
“I put off listening to this for years because the hype felt overwhelming. How could anything live up to that kind of consensus? But when I finally sat down with good headphones and gave it my full attention, I understood immediately. This isn't an album you casually appreciate — it demands and rewards your complete focus. What strikes me most is the emotional range. It moves from devastating vulnerability to towering confidence, from intimate whispers to massive sonic landscapes, and it all feels organic. The transitions never feel jarring even when they probably should. That's a level of craft that very few artists achieve even once in their career.”
“Decent album with a handful of really excellent tracks. The problem is the material between those peaks isn't compelling enough to hold your attention. Worth cherry-picking the highlights for a playlist.”
“A decent listen but it doesn't hold up to repeated plays the way their best work does.”
“This is one of those rare albums where everything just clicks. Pure genius.”
“A few good tracks don't save a mostly underwhelming album.”
“Took me three listens to fully appreciate what was happening here but once it clicked, it really clicked. The layering is incredible — you hear new things every time. A rich, rewarding album that demands your attention.”
“A few good tracks don't save a mostly underwhelming album.”
“I've given this the benefit of the doubt across multiple listens over multiple years and my opinion hasn't budged. Overrated, overlong, and overwrought. The good moments are too few and far between to justify the runtime.”
“The production alone is worth the listen, but the songwriting elevates it further.”
“I appreciate what they were going for even if it doesn't fully land.”
“Incredibly well-crafted. A few moments don't work but the highs are very high.”
“Changed the way I think about music. Nothing else sounds like this.”
“Actively unpleasant listening experience for me. I can appreciate craft without enjoying the result, and that's exactly what happened here. Well-made music that I never want to hear again. Different strokes, I suppose.”
“A high watermark for the genre. Essential listening.”
“Some interesting ideas that don't always come together.”
“This grew on me a lot. First listen I thought it was good, not great. By the fifth listen I was completely hooked. The subtlety of the arrangements really rewards patience and close attention.”
