Lemonade 2016
★★★★4.0
A concept album that actually delivers a concept. Freedom is a hymn. Sandcastles is the one that gets me.
Mostly about the story.

Forrest Gump1994Epic, earnest, effortless and meticulous.
Not a genre label: a reading of how it moves, how it feels, and what it asks of you. Your profile is matched against this, so the page can say how likely you are to rate it four stars or more.
Every film, series, book, album, and game gets the same reading.

- 02Read
We read each title's character and each of your reviews. Your profile is the pattern in what you rated up and down.
- 03Predict
Before you start something, the page says how likely you are to rate it four stars or more, and why.
- 04Argue
Find your taste twin, your interesting opposite, and the three questions people fight about on every title.
Twelve archetypes

Punisher 2020
★★★★½4.5
Whisper-sung grief, and then the last track screams. I listened to it walking home and had to sit on a bench.
Mostly about the craft, how it felt.
Blue 1971
★★★★★5.0
The most honest record ever made about wanting someone and knowing better. River is the best Christmas song because it is barely one.

Hounds of Love 1985
★★★★4.0
Side one is hits, side two is a drowning woman's dream suite, and somehow it is one album. Nobody else has made this record.
Mostly about the story.

Kid A 2000
★★★★½4.5
It sounds like the year 2000 was afraid of itself. Everything in Its Right Place is the best opener of the decade and the album never spends the goodwill cheaply.
Mostly about the craft.
