Album Rating: 4.0

I actually prefer the first half ;)

Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Off

None of the songs overstay their welcome. It's actually a really solid listen as a complete album imo. Cartwheel is one that really grew on me though.

Album Rating: 3.0

Cartwheel is pretty easily the best song here imo.

Album Rating: 3.7

I still don't really like Hot & Heavy or Thumbs and there's some weird production in the first half that doesn't quite sit for me (except for First Time which again rips)



Going Going Gone onwards is all hits imo

Album Rating: 4.0

Can’t wrap my head around you not liking Hot & Heavy. That track is fucking perfect my man. I could listen to it on repeat



Also yeah Cartwheel is magical, something special about the guitar playing on that one

Album Rating: 3.0

Better than her last album, but that's not saying much. In no way will she ever be bigger than Julien Baker or Phoebe... Idk where that's coming from

Album Rating: 3.0

Phoebe for sure, but Dacus’s Spotify stats disagree with her not being as big as Julien Baker.

Album Rating: 4.0

Yeah the back half is where it's at

Album Rating: 4.0

idk my interest in Phoebe has faded a bit over time while my love for Dacus has only continued to grow.. don't think it's an unrealistic statement. and Julien Baker is pretty overrated honestly. the lyrics are a bit too "I'm emo and depressed" for those two after a while, lol

Well I just got some tickets to see Lucy with Bartees Strange opening.

Album Rating: 3.7

Julien carries boygenius almost single-handed lol y'all wild



I can def see Lucy being more interesting than Phoebe though, the fact that Lucy has more than one song format and lyrical style helps a lot there

Album Rating: 3.7

big guitar noise make colton lizard brain produce the good chemical

"I guess I would say she’s a good storyteller but not a super remarkable lyricist."



Y'all wild she is the best lyricist of the three

Night Shift? Yeah none of the other two have a song like that.

Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound Off

Phoebe is still easily the best tho

Album Rating: 3.0

I only just realized Lucy is on the cover.

lovely writeup. didn't expect to like this but the lyrics and storytelling are quality. agree with the criticisms though about how the vocal approach/melodies could be stickier

Album Rating: 4.0

@boney, she's a subtle angel ya?



hey cheers Lucid! glad you were able to enjoy some of this.. any major standouts?

Julien Baker is literally this generation's Eliot Smith you knuckle dragging simpletons

Don't hex the poor girl that way

no major standouts but i found the second half stronger

"Julien Baker is literally this generation's Eliot Smith"

fucking no
