i heard it as an evil blend of Dessnercore Taylor with a couple of Lana inflections
not happy !

She did call the new album her "folklore", am not convinced by that comparison tho

i mean, i hear it on a superficial level - but folklore was just a wardrobe change for taylor's pop writing, whereas this feels much more distinct and organic for hayley maybe. certainly easier to take on its own terms, to which end having her reference folklore is actively a little off-putting tbh

I get the folklore comparison. Hayley's new one feels much less contrived, however.

The strumming in "Inordinary" could go on for another 5 min and I would not gaf

new record is basically proof that hayley's voice (in any of its incarnations) sounds better over a guitar than synths

This one was a quarantine mainstay, it's awesome.

Follow up doesn't quite hit the same highs but is still pretty nice

TIL that Over Yet is Hayley Williams. It doesn’t even sound like her voice!

I agree. Feel like if she cut out 4-5 tracks it'd be a much more consistent release, but I've listened a few times now and think I like it more than Petals.

yeah, i remember not being super interested in Petals after I (minus a few) whereas for Ego, cut 5 songs at most and I think we've got something fantastic
