Opposite for me; after going back and giving Painted Shut a full and involved listen I'm convinced this is pretty significantly better

The lyric writing kinda detracts from the album for me.

I enjoy this but I'm not getting the strong vibes everyone else is. Also I really enjoy this on my first couple listens but a single track really has jumped out on me like their last record, where Waitress blew me away. I also think the vocal style becomes very predictable by the end. Soft beginning, bellow out transition, upbeat medium volume chorus, rinse and repeat.

I tried their last two albums but her voice was a bit too much for me, which is weird because I can usually vibe with just about any voice. I've since steered clear of them until I decided to give this a chance and I'm glad I did. Despite being impressively intricate the music goes down so smoothly, as does her voice, and I'm loving it. It's helping me open up to their previous records too.

Going back after hearing this, the musical aspect of their previous albums just sounds sooo basic in comparison

imo their vocalist and drummer have a lot to do with it. I can dance to this and the hooks are catchy af. Meanwhile the the intricate guitars will keep me coming back. And the strings tho.

I like Grouper and love Ruins; her new album is just a lesser rehash of it sadly
