5/5
I don't know what to rate this. On one hand, it can be viewed as an optimal "ambient listening album". You doing your chores or talking to someone in a social setting, I wouldn't mind this playing in the background. On the other hand, there are moments of brilliance in the music that make me want to rate it 5/5. But then again, for some people this may never warrant a revisit, while for others they will discover new things in the music on every listen. For some this is just glorified elevator or background music, while for others it is a landmark album. This the "Schrödinger's album". I have listened to it 3 times today, and I can't seem to make up my mind. I will rate it 3 as a middle ground, but that just seems unfair. So I will reluctantly give it 5

Can't believe this is on the list and not Mezzanine. Definitely not essential. 1/5
