i liked this, not as much as i thought i would on first listen. My initial takeaway is that there are some excellent tracks but on the whole it can feel pretty one note. maybe subsequent listens will open it up a bit.
Bloody hell. Finished my first full listen. I’m in bed just in silence. Absolutely floored by this. What an album. I just feel like being quiet in the dark now. I can’t imagine how heart-wrenching it would be after a drink or two. The lyrics are barbed and seriously just stung me. Excellent.
omg its out? where is it that I can listen? I wanna give it a spin at work... SOOOOO need this album after the last few days lol
A lot of the vinyl copies have been shipped out or bought at gigs. It’s also leaked! But it’s officially out tomorrow.
Gave it a listen last night while driving and it seems like a step up from the last but there’s still something holding me back from loving it that I can’t quite place. Maybe repeat listens will do more for me.
Gonna wait till it hits Apple Music tomorrow but i enjoy reading the hype. Brings me back to last year's Low Teens thread and this year's After The Party thread
5-6 years ago and this album might have driven me to do some extreme things These days it just makes me sad and thankful at the same time
Not feeling any of these songs. Nothing to do with the lyrics; it's just the music itself is not grabbing me in any way. Hoping she can do music with Jack Antonoff maybe in the future...
Someday (it may be album 3, 4, 5, but someday) she's going to have a full band. And when she hits that high vocal at the end, a tom drum is going to ring out and they're going to go into this intensely cathartic jam of an outro. Can't wait to cry to it in ~4-7 years.
Only reason I mentioned Jack is that he himself in an interview recently said he'd like to work with Julien
