There is still a chance Lights will be a five someday but it isn't for me right now. This one, even a year later, still wrecks me. Lights is beautiful but it doesn't leave nearly as potent an impression.

I suppose I'm just into that one more musically, but I can totally see how this would be stronger for others emotionally (:

For sure. "Hurt Less" is the best song she's written yet in my eyes so yeah it definitely depends on what you want out of her music.

So good, I think I actually like the audiotree recording of it more than the album version. Not sure what it is, but the audiotree version just has something about it. Maybe it’s just because that’s how I discovered her.

I have finally finished re-listening to all my old 5s, demoting some. I was fully expecting to be demoting this because the sad-girl/drink bleach bc I hurt everyone close to me ... schtick has in general aged kind of poorly. But this album holds up. Incredible voice. Really honest, raw songwriting. Still a classic - lightning in a bottle. Definitely one of my favourite albums still.

Idk if you’re into any screamo at all but her features on Touche Amore’s songs are phenomenal.

One of the very few songs that I can’t listen to often, not because I don’t love it, but because it’s simply just too painful.



Her feature on their newest record is great too. I like all of the boygenius guys tbh, Phoebe has the best discog imo but tbh I think Julien is probably the best singer

Julien is Boygenius' secret weapon always has been

Lucy is still underrated

Punisher hasn't aged that well unlike Stranger in the Alps

Lucy started so great but the dropoff on her last few albums was historic unfortunately. genuinely find most Phoebe absolutely unlistenable these days

Home Video was pretty great but Forever is a Feeling was so forgettable
