If you do shed a tear, it's bound to be the very late note she sings... you'll know what I mean )':')

I might be losing my mind but I have the feeling she is sometimes singing the same vocal melody on different tracks?

I appreciate the thoughtful response Blush, your alternate reading of the album is compelling. I'll think about the communal aspect and see if that shifts how I feel about her new work. Was a rough day when I first heard the record so that might have factored into my distaste, I'll approach it with less reservations when the time feels right.

I understand your position regardless, Lucid, I hope it does grow on you but I certainly see where you're coming from. Thanks for being great, and I hope you're feeling better, friend.

Well, dammit, I couldn't even finish a second listen today. Might be she singing on the same key over and over and the shift to piano but I am not feeling TOTL as much as I felt Sprained Ankle on first listens. I'll do like Lucid and give it a fresh listen tomorrow. Gonna settle on a 3.5 for now.

My main problem so far is that the tracks kinda blend together, and even on my fourth listen I can empathize with Dewinged that she seems to repeat the same melodies here and there. Even so, what's here is beautiful and it's firmly found a place on my year-end list. The lyrics here are simply gorgeous.

Lyrically she is unmatched. The girl destroys you with 2 sentences, but I feel like she is too comfortable in that key/melody because it allows her to unleash that torrent of voice she pulls off.

And man, I wish Funeral Pyre was included here, I loved that direction, but now I understand why it was left out.

Anyway, Blush will make an incredible review of it, stamping a 5 like Batman and I will bump my rating charmed by his beautiful words.
