If I wasn't a die hard fan this would get a 60.

Average album is average

This album is fine, just fine. I think the issue is that it’s such a saturated market right now of this type of pop/indie rock with a soft spoken female vocalist (i.e. Soccer Mommy) that you need to make leaps and bounds to stand out from the crowd. This album just doesn’t do that for me.

Gotta love these Aussies OI OI OI

Alex Lahey seems to channel her inner Courtney Barnett on this album with the talking lyrics and power pop chords.

Favorite Tracks: I don’t get invited to Parties Anymore, Interior Demeanour, Misery Guts

I don't think there's a bad song on here.

Forgettable.

FANTASTIC Album. Finger-pickin’ good.

My personal fave from Big Thief – Lenker’s vocals pair well with the cumbersome vibe they’re going for. Beautiful & haunting at times, this is a must listen for 2019.

What an interesting collaboration that somehow worked. Super dark sounds, so brace yourself.

Personal fave: Estranged

I don't think theres a single song on here I'll revisit.

This is the best stuff the Chemical Brothers have put out in a while - they kick it off with a three song medley that is bound to get you bopping. No real low points on this album, extremely happy they rebounded!

Best songs: Eve of Destruction, Bango, No Geography, We've got to Try

WHERES SATURATION FOUR

Enjoyable listen, but wished he took more time between albums to deliver a better record.

Pretty underwhelming change of pace from their debut. They definitely get extra points for the creative lyrics they sing though.

Scorpion Hill & Full Blown Meltdown are the jams

Very strong album - if you're a fan of indie folk with a twist I'd highly recommend. She is soft spoken for all the right songs and escalates her voice when needed.

Also had the pleasure of meeting her after a Jeff Rosenstock show. At the very least, give this album a listen cause she is freakin' adorable and nice.

Fave track: Value Inn

Quality stuff - I'm still more prone to "Everything's Fine" release last year with Jean Grae, but I think that has to do with my taste. Catching hints of Open Mike Eagle with the feel of the tracks. Great work!

Billie Eyelashes = Discount Lorde

Not bad though - the production is pretty solid, however you can hear the Generation Z come through in some of the lyrics.

Closing track “goodbye” gives me HEAVY vibes from The Beatles “Because”. Anyone else?

7.4/10

Bonus points for sampling The Office on a song though.

I'M A BOSS IN A FUCKING DRESS

Even though Matmos is getting weird on this record, it's still pretty tame compared to their earlier releases - we need to get them back to that weird AF level.
