    It's a singularly engaging soundscape you're strongly recommended to sample. [Jan 2024, p.80]

    Burton's falsetto feels like part of the tapestry masterminded by Quesada, never quite pulling attention to either his words or melodies. While this ultimately means that Chronicles of a Diamond doesn't leave enough hooks behind to linger in the memory, the pulsating, colorful vibrations it creates as its spins are certainly an enjoyable way to get lost in the ether for a half hour or so.

    The album's whole second side rises to a bar set mile-high by the band's national breakout.
