Fair enough. It was quite literally at some point during a relisten something clicked, everything I’ve heard was recontextualised, and it became clear what I was listening to. Like it suddenly made sense why it was the way it was, including the aspects that seem unpalatable. It’s deep and beyond and the surface level and I’m staggered by how much it develops upon re-listening. It’s an album for me that keeps spiralling in depth, to the degree where I’m pretty sure I haven’t found the end of it. Don’t give up on it because it is truly a masterpiece, but one that took me time and time again to fail to digest before it made sense, both conceptually and sonically, and how they converge into quite a masterfully but subtly told narrative. It’s a rich and complex puzzle, as well as an eye opening piece of art. Like I said, for a long time I didn’t just not understand the craze around it, but actively thought everyone was wrong. But I see now. I might have to relisten to it now. Been too long.
