@Blush, oh ffs...



haha, cheers bud! just changing it to "diminish" :3



also I agree about Please Stay but I resisted the temptation to talk about Phoebe/Julien as I wanted to make this one all about Lucy. it's her moment imo.. kinda feel like the other 2 artists already hit their peak and she's still slowly revealing her greatness

I hope Phoebe hasn't hit her peak and can keep coasting where shes at, but I agree, this album is what has finally made Lucy click for me.

Of the three Boygenius members, Lucy Dacus seems destined to end up on top.

"Please Stay" / "Favor" / "Graceland Too" make a beautifully devastating trilogy if you listen to them back to back

One of the albums of the year IMO. If you like female singer songwriters as I do, this one is special. Nice review and thanks for it.

Yeah this is starting to grow now. She brings something a little different than Phoebe or Julien that's a little more straightforward, but the lyrics and vocals are great (and not overproduced) so I could see this being one of those albums I become attached to for the emotional/lyrical component. I revisited Historian this morning though, and I still think that's the superior record.

I like this, but a bit less than Historian methinks. That one struck a better balance of lyrics/storytelling and compelling music than this one, which relies more heavily on just lyrics/vocals and while Dacus is a good lyricist I still find her vocals and melodies a tad pedestrian much of the time. The variety of styles here is nice though, keeps it from getting boring as often happens with modern lyric-focused singer/songwriters.

The lyrics on this one are so fucking good, but yeah no highs like Night Shift which is a 5/5 song for me. Still like this album more overall.

Yeah Colton I think she has a great voice but doesn't use it as well as she could

All criticism I have seen is valid but still leads me to the belief that she is going to release something truly monumental in the near future.

Me too. I also enjoyed Historian a lot but need to listen again.



I think her vocals and lyrics are key on this album. Because besides the fuzz parts, the arrangements and melodies let her vocals/lyrics take center stage.

I can’t get over how hard Thumbs hits. As a home of sexual who doesn’t have supportive parents.

The more I listen to this, the more I appreciate her songwriting and the sonic variance, the less I'm convinced by her lyrics.

I guess I would say she’s a good storyteller but not a super remarkable lyricist.
