I gotta return to this. Just jammed the debut and loved it (which means I love all 3 of her others) so I'm very intent on getting this one to click.

loving "hours were the birds" (song) and some stuff from songs lately, zombie girl

Ok idk if its my mindstate at this time or just that I have been feeling not great lately but this one is resonating with me ahrd now. Idk what I was thinking before, this is beautiful stuff. Rating change incoming.

Yeah nice. Honestly, I think this is cut above everything she’s done to date. Admittedly, I only went backwards after getting into this but I spent a fair amount of time with her back catalogue and Songs was a step-up, but this even more so

Seeing her tomorrow night in Chicago and trying to lookup the setlist and it seems to be (slightly) different in every city??

This grew on me so much. First 2 are my favs and I seem to be in the minority there lol.

Sadness As A Gift is stunning

Real House grew on me, but still not one of my favs here

Sadness as a Gift is an easy highlight yep, that/Fool/Free Treasure are the tracks I'd go back to here

Ruined and Vampire Empire thoooo

Really excited to see her tomorrow

Album Rating: 4.0

I really really like this album but I don't listen to it as much as I should - mostly because 'Real House' as an opener creates a bit of a weird flow imo



I don't normally get hung up on this kind of stuff but I have a hard time with the incredibly sparse piano arrangement. It's beautiful but it feels sooo intimate - I have to be in a particular mindset to be open to it



I prefer the fingerpicked version she performs live - the fast and steady picking under the slow melody is almost hypnotic

Real House into Sadness as a Gift best transition ever of all time

Album Rating: 3.5

Only because Real House is finally over and the good songs can start...

stop it. Real House is one of—if not, the—best track here.

Album Rating: 4.0

yeah, Real House is a real one

Free Treasure / Vampire Empire is peak

whole first half is superb really (Sadness is top 4). I love the closer also, but cannot deny the second half is weaker overall

Album Rating: 3.5

The only good thing that can be said about the 6 minutes of boredom that is Real House is that it can't kill any momentum as it's the first song.

Forgot how incredible Vampire Empire is, damn

This one grew on me so hard.

me so hard [2]

Free Treasure into Vampire Empire is such a brutal falloff that I find it p hard to get down with Real House crit
