“Really strong record that just misses the mark of perfection in a few spots. The highs here are genuinely incredible though, and even the weaker tracks are better than most artists' best work. Highly recommended.”
“Returned to this after a few years away and it hit even harder than I remembered. Some albums age poorly but this one has only gotten better with time. The themes feel more relevant now than ever and the sonics still sound fresh.”
“This grew on me enormously. What initially seemed messy revealed itself as brilliant.”
“I've introduced maybe a dozen friends to this album and every single one of them has become a fan. That kind of universal appeal combined with genuine artistic depth is incredibly rare. This is the real deal.”
“I can hear why this was praised at the time — the production was clearly ahead of the curve, and there are a few genuinely innovative moments. But stripped of its historical context, this is a pretty uneven listening experience. The first third is strong, the middle is forgettable, and the back end is a slog. I don't think this is bad by any means, but I do think its reputation has outpaced its actual quality. There are better albums in this genre that get a fraction of the attention. Worth hearing once for context, but I won't be coming back to it.”
“The emotional weight of this album is remarkable. Very moving 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.”
“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.”
“I was skeptical of the hype but this completely lives up to it.”
“Incredibly well-crafted. A few moments don't work but the highs are very high.”
“Great album that rewards repeated listens. Gets better every time.”
“Perfect from front to back. Not a single moment wasted.”
“A thoroughly enjoyable listen from start to finish.”
“Love the sonic palette on this record. Every sound feels intentional and the mix is pristine. A couple of the songs blur together on casual listens but focused listening reveals the nuances. Very strong work overall.”
“Not sure what happened here. Their previous work was so strong and this feels like a significant step backward. The songwriting is lazy, the production is overwrought, and the whole thing feels phoned in. A couple of decent tracks don't save it.”
“Returned to this after a few years away and it hit even harder than I remembered. Some albums age poorly but this one has only gotten better with time. The themes feel more relevant now than ever and the sonics still sound fresh.”
“Incredibly overrated. One of the most baffling critical darlings out there.”
“The singles are obvious highlights but the deep cuts are excellent too.”
“An absolute masterpiece from start to finish. Every track earns its place.”
“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.”
