God damn this woman is talented

Album Rating: 5.0

Yeah seriously. Between this and PD she's 2/2.

Album Rating: 3.5

Her batting average is better than Lana so far, hope she keeps it up

Even though I'm still not feeling this album overall, that transition from radio towers into the first 3 minutes of tempest is just spectacular

Album Rating: 4.5

her fans are more annoying than tool fans



but this is good

Album Rating: 4.0

Fantastic review Sowing. Might like this even more than Preacher's Daughter. Fuck Me Eyes is spellbinding



Should probably listen to Perverts

Album Rating: 4.7

Still have never jammed any Ethel.

Album Rating: 4.5

album rules. have it rated higher than PD right now, but they're so hard to compare.

not gonna bother this time with this racist pos

Didn't she get cancelled for being a racist edgelord? Tuff 5 comin in hot on this rev.

Her response to being called out was so cringeworthy I don't think I could ever give this the time of day. "I grew up on the internet and pissed marginalized people off because I'm small-world ignorant and now am being held accountable, I'm tHe ViCtIm." Yeah gtfo Ethel, if you're gonna be a p.o.s. at least own it properly and put a confederate flag beside the couch on your front lawn or something.

Album Rating: 4.5

is she actually? that is disappointing

Album Rating: 4.5

yeah wow i dug deeper, it's a tad worse than simple racism



she goes in the mark kozelek category now

Album Rating: 4.5

“ Cain — who grew up in rural Florida and was homeschooled…”

I’ll be real, I think we can cut her *some* slack for some (profoundly stupid) shit she said when she was 19.

thats not my background, but conservative homeschoolers are a different breed of insane and the brainwashing that they do to their kids should literally be considered abuse

what wildcard said. also there’s no real pattern or evidence she’s been shitty since then

Album Rating: 3.5

We’ve all said/done stupid stuff when we were 18/19. If she was 29 when she said it that’d be way less excusable…although the state of people in their 20’s now I’m not so sure of that either…

Moreso her "I'm sorry but also poor poor me as well, I'm also a victim here" was nothing short of tone deaf and disingenuous. Be a brainwashed dumb 18/19yo, but for the love for god, by 29, learn how to take accountability properly.

Her whole thing was basically "yes this thing was bad too BUT I did it because reasons, therefore I'm not actually a bad person" and when you spend 75% of your response to being shitty trying to justify it, the people you need to be apologizing to are not going to care or take you seriously or think you're genuine in any way.

Album Rating: 5.0

Thanks Jay! A House In Nebraska was always my favorite song from Preacher's Daughter, so the way this whole album basically explains what that relationship was and builds up to that moment in time really resonated with me. I'm more locked into the plot now than I've ever been and it's made the music that much better.

@orb

I didn’t look up her apology, if it seems inadequate then that’s kinda shitty. I’m just saying that given the way she was raised, I think saying some really dumb shit when you’re just out of high school is forgivable. I never said anything like that but I went to a private high school in fucking Missouri, some of the shit they taught us was already pretty wild so I can’t imagine the shit they’d be telling her homeschooled ass in rural Florida.



As for the album, ya it’s great. I haven’t really listened to it with the narrative in mind but maybe when I get home I’ll kick my feet up and listen to both these records back to back with the lyrics in front of me

haven’t been able to get into the alb as a whole yet but Nettles is incredible, one of my fav songs of the year to this point

Tempest is the standout for me, solid album
