Feb 9, 2026‘The Fall-Off’ feels like his masterpiece, a classic right off the bat.

Feb 13, 2026The slight disappointment of Disc 39 is that Cole’s comfort in his recent life leaves less to be explored than you might hope.

Feb 9, 2026It’s a meaty experience that takes time to parse through — but certain songs leap forward.
