The record which I could be easily convinced was from another world. Quite possibly one of the most inaccessible albums ever, it provides critiques of the worst parts of society underneath barrages of heavy cyber noise. After enough listens, it becomes quite catchy.

A rap jazz fusion that feels like the culmination of everything hip hop has been leading to for around 30 years, while also being a definitive high point of Kendrick Lamar's creativity and storytelling.

Whatever jazzy and prog-rock black hole The Mars Volta threw me into with this record, I want to stay in it. How can an album like this exist, let alone work so well? It's a beautiful enigma.

Two damaged geniuses put their greatest qualities on display with this psychedelic journey that explores mental health, not through a depressing and melancholic lens, but rather a optimistic and liberating one.
