does she have a noisy song on here like I don't smoke or my body's made of crushed little stars?

Album Rating: 4.0

Not exactly, this has a more folk vibe to it so

There are some Microphones-esque noisy songs if that makes sense

The last song I Love Me After You in particular

Album Rating: 3.0

Man this really is textbook lovely stuff but as alluded to on the first page I just wish several of these songs stuck around a little longer.

i just do not think she is a very good songwriter sadly

gonna have to concur
Your Best American Girl kinda had it, but these tracks are mostly flim. midski reigns

Album Rating: 4.0

Bury Me through Cowboy are so good

You don't have to like her, but claiming she is a bad songwriter is silly

"songwriting" is a very nebulous term but i think what boney and i were talking about on the first page hits the nail on the head about her songwriting

songwriting on this and Laurel Hell are slight as a leaf and what i remember from Bury Me was a lot of bold gesticulation over pretty basic writing. will maybe finally check Puberty 2

Hmm I mean I do agree that on this and especially LH that many of the songs would be better fleshed out

You're not wrong but that's also why I love it, the rawness of it all

Album Rating: 3.0

She always has at least one great song on her albums (usually one of the longer ones unsurprisingly) but yeah she is pretty inconsistent as a songwriter imo. I did recently get really into BMAMC and I think that's her best by far (indeed the relative rawness of that one really elevates it). This one is likely my 2nd favorite though, but it's still missing a bit of something to make it truly great.

very mitski, starts off with strongish openers then just becomes a bit papier-mâché

Album Rating: 4.0

as someone who is also critical of mitski songs sounding unfinished I think a majority of these sound pretty full and fleshed out. and they're the prettiest instrumentals I've heard her over

this album kinda washed over me. A pleasant listen all the way through but nothing really stuuck with me. Might be a grower though

I have my doubts

Album Rating: 2.5

Saw mitski last night, some nice choreography but was weird watching a set that feels massively self-indulgent and all the songs are like 2-3 minutes long.
