finally listened to Not to see if it was overhyped and let's just say I was definitely NOT disappointed

I love “Not” but it is overhyped a bit.

The slight issue I have with “Not” is that it’s unbalanced. Like, the actual song isn’t that interesting to me beyond its gradual building of tension which the coda releases. Obviously neither part would work without the other and the payoff is worth it, so it works, but I’m always left wanting more. It’s a great piece of music but it doesn’t really mean anything. Then again I feel that way about a lot of Big Thief/Lenker songs. I know a lot of people are saying “Not” is their best song of the year even if Two Hands is the weaker album but I honestly like 4-5 songs on UFOF better than it (and for what it’s worth maybe even a couple songs here too).

"it doesn't really mean anything" is a criticism that doesn't really mean anything

This is about the same as UFOF for me. A handful of awesome songs and the rest sort of blend together.

Nah only heard the two LPs this year, which introduced me to the band. Will make a note of that though because I trust your taste over most.

Capacity is their best album and my favorite folk album of the decade so you might like that as well

Lenker is the draw for me in regards to Big Thief and Capacity is definitely her most personal and affecting performance so it just does the trick for me

I still need to revisit Capacity and check out Masterpiece.

Anyone else consider the last two songs to both be highlights?

I heard “Not” on XM radio earlier today but it was a radio edit that cut the guitar solo down to like 20 seconds and it was the biggest blue balls I’ve ever gotten.
