Revisiting this album 2 years later, I can both completely understand and disagree with my past perspective that this is mediocre. Sonically, it is far from Kendrick's best. Despite clear highlights like Father Time and Savior, Kendrick has much better and more consistent rapping and production on other projects. However, this album's lyrical themes are remarkable. By far the most vulnerable and most varied subject matters up to this point, and the sheer creativity in relaying these ... read more

Even though I'm not in love with this, it's still leagues above her last album and a major step in the right direction (especially production wise)

i mean it's not like INCREDIBLE, but it does what it wants to do well and I had a good time with it.

This is the 500th album I've listened to and it's a pretty great way to mark that milestone! Despite it not being perfect (most notably with its pacing and occasional repetitiveness imo), its charm is undeniable and it's a very pleasant listen. Worthy of the classic status it has.

Shame that the blind can't hear this :(

Inoffensive but not all that exciting

Kali's most pretty, mature, and consistent album to date.

Exceedingly charming

It's good- but it's not what I come to Car Seat Headrest for. The concept and commitment to it is really interesting, but it comes at the cost of the incredibly personal and vulnerable songwriting I've loved so much from their past work

The most engaging jazz I have ever heard

i also heard that noise and it made me go :)

Despite being a defender of her previous album, I have a ton of respect for her listening to the negative feedback and making this album!

For a genre that's so hard for me to get into, this does a pretty good job showing its appeal

this is gonna be album of the year I'm beyond excited

Hard to get through this album without a smile, even if a few tracks drag a bit

There are some really great highs, but it makes you wait through a lot of filler to get to them

This does an amazing job showing her production abilities and range over her career thus far. However, in contrast to her singles, census designated, and her work as venturing, it doesn't show much evolution in her vocal or songwriting abilities.

This is also extremely backloaded imo. The first few songs are good, but the album doesn't get really amazing until Dreamflasher

The improved vocals and production quality are occasionally offset by weak songwriting

God damn

i like the one with sheldon cooper on it
