I like Dermatillomania, it provides some needed energy.

Her older stuff sounds pretty generic to me, not sure where this album came from, it's like a revelation.

The poppy backdrop on Dermatillomania provides such a striking contrast with the lyrics, which are crushing, and I feel like it works well

The transition from Hawks into Big Deep catches my breath every time. The final three songs on here are enough to earn the 4.5 by themselves.

Yeah, the last three tracks are the best. The start is pretty great as well. It's just a tad shaky in the middle for me. It's close to a 4, but just not quite.

@Lucman I feel like Laura always nails the last several songs on her albums. Telluride/L-DOPA/The Wheel, Claustrophobe/Life is Long/Tom Sawyer, and Hawks > Big Deep/Low Slow/Perfect are IMO collectively the best parts of Wheel, Cocksure, and The Big Freeze which always leaves me satisfied spinning it all the way through.

Couldn't agree more. The closer to Cocksure might just be my favourite song of hers. Wheel is a special album for me so I can't really put any song above another but those last three bring it to such a perfect finish.
Lovin that 5 too. I dropped this down for now, just because the middle slightly dips in quality, but that could very well change.

Hum is probably the least memorable song for sure, but I love Rattle at Will. I don't recall another song of hers that is so deliberate in tempo but nevertheless oozes this dark and intense vibe. There's so much tension in the undercurrent that completely dissipates with the multi-tracked vocals and returns with the next burst of guitar, and I think that dynamic is done super well here.
But I kind of know what you mean with the middle feeling lacking. Like when I listen the whole way through, Lay Back, Arms Out to Dermatillomania flow together so well (as does the stretch from Hawks to Perfect) that the inner two tracks don't stick out as too strong.
I wonder why she ended up leaving out the songs from the mini-EP she released late last year. Maker of Things could have fit pretty well after Hum. The Mystic and the Master has a sudden start which makes its placement an issue, but it works well enough after Rattle at Will. I made a playlist with those tracks included and it fleshes out the middle a bit.

I jokingly said this was gonna be AOTY when it dropped but it's looking more and more likely now, literally nothing this year has hit me on an emotional level like this did
