Kinda mixed but I get the appeal.
This didnāt really land for me overall, but I can see why some people like it.
Iām somewhere in the middle on The Big Bend. I can see why people rock with it because the tone is there. I just donāt think every piece is firing at the same level. I wouldnāt call it bad at all, just not a full knockout.
Not perfect but had some solid moments.

Thereās a lot to like here, but also a lot that holds it back from being great.

I actually agree with this take. Itās not perfect but it definitely delivers in key moments.
