A fantastic follow-up to Eternal Blue that takes risks that work really well. In fact, I think I prefer the riskier songs to the more conventional ones. Spiritbox is at its best when it leverages the pure heaviness of the instruments and the godly range of Courtney's vocals. Best songs: No Loss, No Love | Tsunami Sea

A comfort album through and through, at home in your headphones while working or while you're reminiscing of a mall or corporate space in the 90s. The Rippingtons have crafted and easy listening experience that, while some songs aren't that memorable, is a joy to listen to.

Tool again delivers magnum opus-level work, with an album so sonically fine tuned and nearly flawless that I often wonder why other bands even try. It does stumble a bit with interludes, but it also boasts some of the best songs of the band's career. Vicarious, Jambi, Right in Two, The Pot, Wings for Marie, and Rosetta Stoned are all among their best.

I can't overstate how much I love this album. It feels powerful, melancholic, and full of emotion. The musicianship is spot-on, the vocals are impressive, and the effect is has can't be put into words. One of my most-listened to albums of all time.
