    Mediocre album, but the artist has potential to be a star in the future. 0/10

    This album stinks of mediocrity. The artist did a very shoddy job with this LP.

    It’s not often that an album comes along that feels this loaded with transformative potential. [Jul 2021, p.66]

    Slap as many abstract adjectives and kitschy references you want on it, you’re not going to pin The Turning Wheel down. Its ineffability can be its greatest strength.

    While The Turning Wheel was originally planned for release in September of last year, its whimsical presentation and urgent, socially conscious lyrics give it a timeless feeling.
