The records
Newest first, each with the line its review opens on.
2025Hurry Up TomorrowA grand closing statement that mistakes exhaustion for profundity and runs almost half an hour too long.
2022Dawn FMA radio station broadcasting from purgatory, and the most fun he has ever sounded while dying.
2020After HoursHe found the eighties, found a concept, and wrote the biggest song of the streaming era.
2016StarboyEighteen tracks, a Daft Punk frame, and about forty minutes of actual album inside it.
2015Beauty Behind the MadnessThe pivot record: two enormous singles and a lot of scaffolding holding them up.
2013Kiss LandA horror movie about becoming famous, made before he had learned to write a chorus.
2011Echoes of SilenceHe closes the trilogy by tightening the screws, and lands the only ending the run could have had.
2011House of BalloonsThe record that taught a decade of pop how to sound like a comedown at four in the morning.
2011ThursdayThe middle tape, where the fog stops being a style and starts being a place to hide.
