Album Rating: 3.0

That one took a while to grow on me (which means this one might too) but I think the songwriting on it is stronger. You have the understated smoothness of Intern, the punchy pop rock of the first half (pretty much all of which are better than the more "rock" songs on this imo), the wonderful builds of Woman and Sister, the rawness of Pops as the closer... Idk this one just doesn't match it so far.

This is perfectly fine too but it just sounds more like a standard singer-songwriter album to me. I think she matured a lot as a vocalist, songwriter, and arranger between this and My Woman.

Album Rating: 4.5

But you haven't even heard her first lp which is better than my woman btw

Album Rating: 4.0

She got boring, agree'd.

Album Rating: 3.0

In fact I can almost hear her improving just over the course of this album. It starts out really weak but gradually she then quality increases and she sounds more assured of herself by the end. Or maybe that's intended to be the arc of the album and I'm just missing the point entirely?

Album Rating: 3.0

Lark I'll check out her first album but I doubt I'll enjoy it more than this.

Album Rating: 4.5

I truly think you will enjoy it more actually

How does it compare to this and My Woman in terms of style/sound? I would imagine it's more lo-fi than this?

Album Rating: 4.5

I wouldn't call it lo-fi at all. Her ep is pure lo-fi tho so you prob wouldn't like that

Album Rating: 3.0

I mean I guess this isn't really lo-fi either, only relative to My Woman.

If Half Way Home isn't lo-fi then what is it? Similar to this?

And I mean I have no issue on principle with lo-fi stuff I just don't think it suits her vocals very well.

It's has a bit of an alt-country vibe, but it also has some great pop songs too

"alt-country" Boney's full mast

Oh you're giving me a chubby now

Though this one does have a bit of an alt-country vibe too.

Just listen :D and warren zevon too

Oh yeah forgot about Zevon

You heard many of my alt-country recs yet?

lol I think I have to stop taking recs for now after all that stuff I downloaded (see my most recent list)

Boney tbh I think you'll like her debut more than any other of her albums. It's quite a surprise I didn't expect.

interesting you say that this one starts off weak and gets stronger, 'cause it's pretty much the opposite for me. Like I said, unfucktheworld and f/f are two of my favorites from here. Idk in general I'd say my woman just sounds like she's trying too hard. Like it's not really all her but a lot of outside influence creeping in. Different strokes tho. At least she's evolving

Album Rating: 3.0

Both of those first two songs are pretty unremarkable lyrically, Unfucktheworld is pretty boring and amateurish musically, and Forgiven/Forgotten comes across as a heavy-handed attempt at what she would do much better in the first half of My Woman.

She really took this formula to the next level in My Woman.

I don't find unfucktheworld "boring" at all. Its repetition gives it tension and power. It sets you right on edge which is why it's such a good opener. And no the lyrics aren't very decorative or whathaveyou, but they don't need to be. They depict a crucial moment with the precision it deserves. As far as f/f goes, I don't think it sounds remotely like anything on my woman- as it's actually get some edge to it. I think we look for slightly different things when it comes to this type of music my man haha

unfucktheworld is easily my favorite here
