FWIW her earlier stuff is quite different than this so enjoyment of this is not necessarily a good predictor of enjoying that stuff. But yes her previous album is astronomically better than this imo.

Album Rating: 3.5

nah, they are pretty on par on the enjoyment scale for me



tramp still her mastahpiece, tho.

Jupter 4's such a good slow burn

Enjoying this as expected, seems to be a rare case of a bottom heavy album. Particularly enjoying Seventeen, Malibu, Hands and Stay

I'm sure it will reveal itself more on repeat listens, but after a day with this, it's a pretty hollow record.. all that subdued intimacy that made her past records so devastating is gone..

Album Rating: 3.0

I feel like this will end up being one of those indie albums that ends up bleeding into every other one for me and I forget about by the end of the year

Mike McDermott, the b-side off the serpents single, is a much better representation of what this album could have been..

I agree with everyone saying “Seventeen” is amazing, really can’t argue with that. Most everything else though, while I see what she’s going for musically and emotionally, I’m just not connecting with it a whole ton. Glad others are loving it though.

'Seventeen' just sounds like any cookie cutter Lana Del Rey type 'driving tune' with a bit of urgency, honestly the 'la la la la' bit if I heard on the radio I'd have said it's Lana.



One of my least faves here.



The vocals from 3 minutes on are a bit more engaged but just find it such a rote tune

Ah but you see, that last section is the clincher. It’s placement on the album after a lot of tepid stuff helps too.



My real issue here (and in a lot of cases where a rock/folk singer/songwriter type tries the art pop thing) is that for a “pop” album there’s not a whole ton in the way of great/catchy melody making. If anything her older stuff is even more melodic than a lot of this.

Album Rating: 3.5

i don't get that criticism... This isn't all that different from her more folky albums. Yea, the instrumentation and production are different, but the way the songs are composed and constructed don't feel that much different at all to me. Still pretty much identifiable as SVE's work.



This isn't a pop album lol.

Well I guess that’s kinda what I mean, it feels halfway, not fully committed to the aesthetic she went for. Idk, it could still click with me yet.

If you don’t like it you can always move on. There is other music out there!

Atari sure I can but this is an artist I’ve loved in the past so I’m committed to giving it a lot of time, especially since it does still seem a lot of people are loving it. I’m not trying to poo-poo, just documenting my own thoughts as they develop.
