Time for that pep talk: ARMY, following the release of BE, a number of review articles & "critique" videos will be coming our way. Reviews can be fun, they can provide many different perspectives... but reviews are essentially just opinions. Some more informed than others. +

So, before you indulge in opinions from internet "music critics" or random publications, form your own opinions first. Let the album settle. Give it the time it deserves. And, if you then desire, give your attention to opinions of those that you respect & are interested in. +

And random thoughts... but music reviews fuel a culture where we try to attribute reason & explanation to everything we hear. But music doesn't need a condition to exist. BE is an important reminder of that... sometimes, music is just music. It's okay to let it... BE
