Washing Machine is great, but it’s not better than ATL.
WM was a re-entry point. Is it definitive? Absolutely. But it is musically inferior to ATL on the whole. Less expansive, less daring, less beautiful. ATL sounds like a “Diamond Sea” played in slow motion for an entire album.
No disrespect to WM, but ATL is better. For me anyway.
