You’ll like this album if “maybe Jesus Walks was better than this sermon” has crossed your mind at least once.

Music Review: Dirt Emo Vol. 1
If he's going to put out 4 or 5 volumes of covers between full-lengths, this would make a good double LP, and I'm already looking forward to the next volume.
Music Review: Hello Exile
There is a sense that you have already heard this record before you even begin; it’s got a real sequel feel to it.
Music Review: Sound and Fury
There’s no point in leaving my opinion on it until the end of the review. This record is a monster from start to finish, and it sounds nothing like his three preceding full-lengths.
Music Review: The Highwomen
While I might not return to listen through this album completely, some songs will stick with me and I’m glad for that. But I imagine I’ll be satisfied with the songs and heroines the Highwomen themselves love.
Music Review: Lover
This album is a lifer. We are not worthy.
Music Review: Lover
While I wanted to hate this album wholesale, I simply can’t. It’s not great, and often sounds like a collection of slightly undercooked ideas, but more songs will survive on Lover than on Reputation. It’s also the 2nd best album titled Lover that came last month.
Music Review: I Love You. It’s a Fever Dream.
Tallest Man on Earth is still standing high above his contemporaries with his new attempt on tap.
the year of Gundersen
It was the Year of Gundersen, a sort of black hole, but an enjoyable one. It was not an easy year for me: I needed company and constance, and found both in his music, which went with me everywhere. You could get into figuring out whether it's serotonin or dopamine or some other kind of chemical response, but I don't even care: it helped.
Music Review: Both Ways
It's the album that I will forever remember as the pre-Peter album that encouraged me to live life to the fullest with my (currently only) four children. It's become an album that will forever be a specific moment in my life.
Music Review: Let The Trap Say Amen
There is no reason to flirt with secular music. If you gonna do it, just do it. Skip Lecrae.
Music Review: Elephant Heart
This won’t be my record of the year, but I will listen to it many more times before the year is out. I don’t think we’ve seen the best Elizabeth Gundersen has to offer, and I look forward to additional singles and releases.
Music Review: Ye
Is this going to be your favorite 23 minutes of Kanye? No. Is this going to have hits that you’ll be jamming to for the next 10 years? Probably not.
Music Review: Go Farther in Lightness
We are not perfect and our brokenness can be read in our social structures and our relationships.
Music Review: Wildflowers in the Graveyard
With each listen, the songs get richer and more cavernous encouraging yet another cycle of listening.
Music Review: Visions of a Life
While the album relies on several indie rock conventions, there is enough diversity and emotional resonance to transcend its influences into a soundscape of its own making.
Music Review: Broken Machine
Keep an ear out for these chaps. They’re going places.
Music Review: Truth is a Beautiful Thing
The music is almost all solemn, majestic, and as I said, cavernous. Not at all out of place in a cathedral or a concert hall.
Music Review: Lo Tom by Lo Tom
The more I listen, the more I want to listen. And, currently, that is a musical oddity for me, which is why I cannot say enough about why everyone should buy this album and rock it endlessly.
Music Review: Big Bad Luv
I had no expectations going into it but wound up feeling like I will be listening to this record for the rest of my life.
