| 3.5 great | zaruyache | April 25th 20 |
her earlier dream pop-y stuff was better, but this is still a quaint indie pop album.

For her LP she turned the reverb down and dropped much of her dream pop aesthetics. It's hard to not be overharsh as this disappoints compared to her EPs, but I try to look at it in a vacuum. This is an indie pop record with occasional dreamy leanings, but even as such it doesn't work too well. Much of it feels very generic. 1 is an example of song that does work quite well, especially thanks to its vast and ethereal chorus. 2's a fun but generic indie rock song, and I already felt like this was never going to be in 4.0 territory. 3's forgettable and so is 4 but at least it's quite pretty. 5 is a bit dreamier, generic again but pretty. At that point it felt like a 3.5, but the rest of the record never really grasped me. The intro to 6 could be on The Voice, the rest is alright with vague surf rock vibes but again forgettable. 7 is dreamier again and has the first striking chorus since 1 but it is quite brief. 8 is a full on sort of catchy pop song that could well pass on the radio and I wouldn't mind it. 9 is an outright boring song. 10 has another nice intriguing moment that grabs your attention a little bit, and the song is nice. So I'll be nice and keep this in 3.5 tier because again I don't want to judge it too harshly out of wanting more of her EP style (I jammed a track off Just Give In immediately after and boy do I like it better). 3.3

| 3.0 good | ZackSh33 | April 24th 20 |
A consistently good (but not spectacular) album where English doesn't stray from the path often enough. The sound she gets here is intriguing and certainly retro, but some experimentation, changes in tempo, etc would make this album a lot better.
