The kind of album that changes people's lives

Review Score: (10/10)
I first heard this album over 12 years ago when I was still a teenager and I listen to it this very day. Few other albums have that kind of longevity. It's the "Ulysses" of pop albums: an extraordinarily dense, lush, lyrical, damn-near cinematic journey full of secrets that it slowly reveals only upon repeat, repeat, repeat listenings.
