This is an odd album, for me.
Because was this a bad album? Absolutely not. And, I'd go as far as to argue that some of her work on this album is some of Laufey's best yet. And I'd also argue that all of Laufey's instrumentation on this album remains very in-line with her work and characteristically phenomenal.
That being said, I also think that some of Laufey's worst lyrical work in her whole discography is on this album. (Which, IMO, ... read more

it was pretty good. not suuuuper memorable, but it's a good pop-album. it's also hard to evaluate her work though, when she literally wrote some of the best pop songs in history. favourites include songs one through eight. it kind of goes down hill after that, for me.
