Title track rules so hard. Dont see how this could suck or understand why this is so polarizing.

We're supposed to review new albums, it doesn't matter whether you think they are relevant or important or w/e. That's called an opinion.

I don't know how it works man
Do a lot of people who aren't users really check this site?
Bottom line: we (and you) should never concern yourself with an audience. We write about what WE want to write about

MAYA has been so poorly received by so many people that to swoop into the fray two weeks late and champion the thing might seem eye-rollingly polemical. I think, though, there’s a great deal that needs to be said on behalf of this album; I believe, quaint a notion thought it may be, that MAYA is simply misunderstood.
FUCK YOU ALEX

that's the nicest thing anyone could say to me, Adam..
haha, well, you're welcome. your opening paragraph basically runs counter to every beef I addressed my review, and because, well, it's you, I took to reevaluating.
I like the angle that she's owning an aspect of American culture that is largely considered repulsive and anti-feminist and that's something worth dealing with in itself, but while this "ickiness" works for the first four songs on the record, it gets tiresome towards the end to the point where I feel like "bad" sexual politics and Americana start being the only things the record expresses (the exception being "Radio," and I quite like "This is What Makes Us Girls"). It also makes the question of "authenticity" unimportant since, under this lens, she comes off entirely as a character expressing painful pieces of the American id, which on the one hand makes her easier to swallow but on the other makes the record feel aggravatingly empty.
Also, the amount of "cheating" you have to do to make this listenable is ridiculous. I had to mix and match and permanently replace the new Diet Mtn. Dew with the old one to get through it.

This review is quite a piece of work. Enjoyed reading it, regardless of the three other staff opinions on this album
hanging out around the website.
As for whether I agree or not... I don't know.

Brilliant write-up.
I think if I ever meet Conrad in real life I'm going to ask for an autograph.
