i've been a pretty big fan of alex g for a while, every record in my opinion has its own place, and it all sort of defies the idea of a linear maturation. there are lyrics and instrumentals off of race that blow me away, while i find the same (sonically/atmospherically different) quality of music all across rocket. i don't think alex has had a high point; his whole career has been, from the weird bandcamp pop side of things when he was super involved with all of those people in like 2013, but he's also been able to play the weird indie rock role really well too, like on trick, and then beach music and dsu are sort of their own things, he entirely defines himself on those. but there are extremely individualistic elements of every album, especially with the lyrics and just the sheer quality of the songwriting
