CRITIC REVIEWS

91
Entertainment Weekly

Seven albums in, Carlile has long since proven herself constitutionally incapable of making a bad record. She's not about to start now.

90
AllMusic

As the album alternates between candid whispers and raw catharsis, it is unmistakably the work of Brandi Carlile, who once again proves she's one of the best singer/songwriters of her generation.

90
American Songwriter

This is, in every way, a crowning affair, one that’s destined to be considered a high point in Carlile’s ever-expansive career. It’s little wonder then that In These Silent Days consistently speaks volumes. 

90
The Young Folks

Yes, isn’t necessarily a radical reinvention for neither Carlile nor her collaborators, but song for song, it’s the most compassionate and unflinching collection of the artist’s career thanks to the fresh clarity her memoir’s reflection and self-examination provided her.

88
Spectrum Culture
As Carlile finds a vision for the life she wants to lead, she questions rightness repeatedly.

Paste

On Silent Days, she reins in the grandeur a bit, but still manages to wring her share of big moments out of a leaner sound.

80
Mojo

Certainly, there's nothing here to stop her rise.

70
Rolling Stone

She’s not messing with a good thing so much as offering subtle refinements of the strengths — particularly as a vocalist — that led to her breakout.

70
Uncut

The songs are introspective, reflective and fretful, all qualities amplified by its proximity to the writing of Carlile's acclaimed memoir Broken Horses

Brandi Carlile, com certeza é uma das artistas estadunidenses que merecia mais reconhecimento, com sua voz surpreendente e capacidade de escrita admiráveis, ela consegue seguir o country e folk sem em nenhum momento soar genérica em tais respectivos gêneros. E a ... read more

I love how true to her art Brandi Carlile is. ‘In These Silent Days’ is no different. Although some songs don’t connect with me as much, I can still recognize the care put into each track. ‘Right on Time’ is SOTY by the way.

Carlile’s new album “In These Silent Days” opens with the song “Right on Time,” a ballad about apology and understanding that begins with solemn piano chords before swelling in dramatic fashion.

Either way, it’s the kind of vulnerable, complicated statement that has made her such a relatable artist.

This and Renaissance were the only valid answers for AOTY at the Grammys last year.
