yep, I could certainly listen to it all-day long

although dissecting it isn't a bad shout either / works regardless etc.

One of the few singer/songwriters that make me actually look up what certain words mean

“You Will Not Take My Heart Alive” is stunning. It might be my pick from this now. Middle segment of Goose Eggs thru to Divers is possibly strongest overall

Starting to feel I ‘only’ have this at 4 due to it being her third best album.

You Will Not Take My Heart Alive was the immediate highlight here for me but I'm now settling in with the entire run to the end from that track being the strongest. There's still the t/t and a few before it that I love too. Can see myself spending a while with this before going back and trying to digest Have One On Me in full.

Should I give it another go? Possibly. Is it better than this and the bollocks one with the pretentious front cover and the harp?

Ys having now had a look.

I could’ve sworn that was a harp. The fuck is it?

i think it's the one you'd like the most, for what it's worth it's the one i like the most so i may be biased.

at least give the first disc a try, it has three of her best songs

A sickle.

Everything about this bird rubs me up the wrong way. But I will give that first disc a go

Ys DOESN'T have a harp on it, wat m8? (okay I checked, how bizarre to assume such things... association is funny)

I'd say this is arguably (is it?) her most digestible release zak, if that helps. A relatively high amount of variation, no insane runtimes (individual songs or in 'total), her least 'shrill' vocal performance (although personally Have One On Me is similar) and arguably her most immediate, catchy hooks

I need some some more DIVERSity in my ratings this year. Lol. Doing a discog run of hers after only knowing Ys, this was so good, so much more DIVERSe in instrumentation.

Oh she's definitely going to come back, her lyrical style lends itself to post-natal creativity, she'll come back with possibly her best ever album. I bet she has three albums worth of songs ready to go already.

Hard disagree with everything you said lol

I'd love to be wrong but her initial 4 album run is essentially untouchable imo. I also highly doubt she's just sitting on tons of material.
