If you want more poppy stuff from her (and can stomach some autotune) try the first few songs on Inbred.

I mean the other stuff was good, but like the slower 7+ minute songs do drag, or there are too many of them



Like Nebraska through Family Tree, three songs, did not need to be 20 minutes of slowcore



I appreciate stuff like Televangelism and August Underground sonically too, but again the album is so long

its crazy to me that so many people are complaining about the slower songs dragging. for me they feel like the shortest 7+ minute songs ever lol, the pacing and the subtle buildups keep me completely engaged the whole time

I love a good slow song like Sun Bleached Flies, but there are so many long slow songs here

So to each their own

I get it because that was my first impression. I can see where people are coming from.



That said, they're wrong ;-) this just needs time and lyrical attention.

I'm confused because American Teenager is the only song of its kind on this record

after like 12 billions listens i think i can say that my top 3 here are thoroughfare, sun bleached flies, hard times

but it is really really close with approximately every other song on here

I’m glad Teenrager is the only song of its kind. In fact despite what some may say I feel every song here is pretty distinct. But with Teenager in particular I appreciate that is even more unique for being the only big stadium pop song, more like that wouldn’t have fit as well with the themes and narratives and also would have just undermined the impact that one has. That aside, I won’t make the mistake P4k did by implying the other songs don’t resonate as pop - there are tons of great hooks and strong choruses throughout this despite the slowness.

I've been listening to this an awful lot as well and I've narrowed my favorites down to Sun Bleached Flies, Ptolemaea, Thoroughfare, A House In Nebraska, and American Teenager. Not sure how I could possibly choose the best three however; I love them all equally like really dark, sad children.

My ranking as of right now would be:



13. August Underground

12. Western Nights

11. Family Tree (Intro)

10. Gibson Girl

9. Thoroughfare (the fact that this is 9th is a testament to how good this album is)

8. Televangelism

7. Family Tree

6. American Teenager

5. Ptolemaea

4. Strangers

3. A House In Nebraska

2. Sun Bleached Flies

1. Hard Times
