- sol_singsThe case forThe Sincere★★★★½
Whispered, then not. Bridgers writes like a diary that knows it is being read. I Know the End is the best closing track of the decade.
- ines.vThe Empath★★★★½
Whisper-sung grief, and then the last track screams. I listened to it walking home and had to sit on a bench.
