was about halfway through s/t and ready to go on about how I still can't super get into her past Wheel for the most part which is so unfortunate to say since that album really makes me consider her to be one of my favorite artists but Mary to the end was breathtaking. There were moments in the tracks before that that were especially pleasant but they ultimately felt pretty tepid. i'll def listen again.

i have to agree that from Wretch onwards is noticeably better than the run of tracks preceding it

there's like a present shift in, idk if it's her voice or how she's singing as well as, i think, the type of production she is going for post-Wheel and it's just not as good imo. that and I feel like her songwriting is much less dynamic and the newer stripped down ones don't hold a candle to the earlier ones. like I just put on random songs from both Sit Resist and Wheel and these just feel perfect.

I've only super liked about 4-5 songs each post Wheel album which is fine I guess but obviously could be better : / was hoping s/t would break that trend.

Low Slow one of those weird tracks that peaks 5 seconds before its actual climax starts

New Laura is imminent, she just posted a video on her IG story of her doing a shot with who I assume is either the producer of the album, recording engineer, mixer, or a combination of those, with a song I've never heard in the background, and her saying "we did it!"



Let the hype begin

Last one was less of a snoozer than Cocksure, but any new Laura is good Laura regardless

I dig’m all but would rank:

1. Wheel

2. The Big Freeze

3. Cocksure

4. Sit Resist

5. Self Titled

6. A Record



And her cover of No Children (The Mountain Goats) is probably the best cover of all time. The juxtaposition of her angelic voice against the most miserable lyrics; simply perfect
