I’ll stand by my Fake Sound Of Progress and DGD ( DBM/II) ratings all day long 👌🏼. But thanks for reminding me, I need to update that outdated band list

my condolences

Album Rating: 4.0

After first listen this was great. I fully expect this to bump to a 4.5 on repeat listens. It's such an organic and easy album to sink into. It is a bit long, but I'm not sure what I'd cut because it's so consistently good. Only thing I miss from PfA is the greater sonic experimentation and songwriting dynamics; but this album seems to streamline that a bit and fuse it with more of FfV's intimacy. The genre variety is refreshing too, even if it sounds more imitative than innovative in that respect.

she's experimenting with sounds that, although not considered experimental in the grand scheme of music overall, is experimenting to her, because she herself has not done it before

queen of experimenting 😍

^ True enough.



After second listen I'm even more impressed by the diversity. Some parts sound like 90s alt. rock, ala Kim Deal/Pixies; others sound like they'd fit on Jagged Little Pill. If this was the 90s it probably wouldn't as feel as fresh, but in '25 I'm thinking I haven't heard stuff like Mirtazapine in 20+ years. I do not like the sequencing of the "official" album though. I feel like it doesn't hit its stride until Whim. I think the only track I really don't like is Discovery Channel. I had enough of that chorus back in '99 to last a lifetime.

glum might be my song of the year

Glum, Disappearing Man, Ego Death, Good Ol' Days are all so good. This whole release is top notch.
