3.5 greatBedex | November 14th 20

While it never really reaches the heights of their prior output in terms of top tier tracks, it's also better at doing their less interesting material (i.e. the simple alt rock songs) and is overall imo a more consistent album. 1-3 is just quite fun alt rock that is done better that the alt rock songs on LP1 as she doesn't sing all the time. Not quite my style and nothing to write home about, but way better done imo. 4-5 do get a bit lame and got me worried, but then 6 introduces a quite clear style shift that will colour most of the album's second half. The guitar parts become softer, more intricate, the bass becomes more prominent, and the rhythm feels proggier - instrumentally evoking soft Opeth in places. There are also some (very mild and occasional) dissonances that are unexpected here, and singing that is processed in more interesting ways than straight up alt rock. 7 continues this, while 8 brings back some of the alt rock but still maintaining this 'proggier' style, quite like 10 while 9 is surprisingly eerie in a cool way. 11 is nice and contemplative, definitely making the energy cure here a downwards one, but still being interesting. I cannot for the life of me explain what they were thinking with 12 which completely ruptures this after a moment of silence and just sticks out like a sore thumb, but still this is the strongest bôa LP imo. 3.4

This album lyrically doesn't compare to the first two (I'd technically categorize this effort as their second album), but there are still some songs worth hearing on here... Tracks 1, 4, 6, 7, 9, and 11 are my highlights for this album.
