The beautiful symmetry of the boys opening the Millennium album with ā€œLarger than Lifeā€, a dedication to their loyal legion of fans, and closing the album with a personal dedication to their moms…aka their ā€œperfectā€ fan… is a stunning reminder of how talented they are.

Endless Roads is so fucking good.
