The first three tracks of "Undressed at the Symphony" start off strong, with the added interest of a collaboration with Lil Yachty on the fourth track. However, the album takes a significant dip in quality thereafter. Faye Webster, known for her soft indie rock aesthetic and poignant lyrics on love and lust, maintains this style throughout. Yet, after "Lego Ring," the album falters with some awkward ideas. Examples include the unnecessary auto-tune on "Feeling Good Today," lackluster utilization of lounge music in "Lifetime," and the uninspired indie jam of "He Loves Me Yeah!" (again, marred by awkward auto-tune). These issues persist until the album's end. It's disappointing, as Faye Webster demonstrates strong songwriting and intriguing ideas, but they often lack direction or substance. Hopefully, these experimental missteps are refined or dropped altogether in future releases.
