"It's just random shit for 37 minutes"

Absolutely enchanting and haunting and sets the listener in a time and place that is both familiar and mysterious.

Oh, are the big award shows ever going to give this band their flowers?

So much of this album defines the '80s sound in my mind. The first 6 songs are an especially insane sequence, some of the best music of all time. Money Changes Everything opens the door wide open to the soundscape of this album, her generational voice, and the carefully crafted instrumentation that underpins the more chaotic elements, which is what truly transforms this from just another pop album to something that captured a cultural moment in such a powerful way. Although I was around ... read more

Jack Antonoff's production is always hit or miss for me, but here I think it works more in the album's favor than not. If every pop album were this beautifully orchestrated, I think the genre would benefit a lot. Sure it's vapid, but in the same way 80's pop music was with a self-awareness and tongue-in-cheek nature that sets it apart from most other albums. It's also a good follow-up to Short N Sweet without being a total carbon copy. I'm also just a sucker for ... read more

All over the place in the best way possible. They don't even stick to a sound within the same song. Underwater Love is an all time great song.

I'm dying for a live album of Faye's songs with orchestral accompaniment. I think her vocal performances shine brightest live. But this is also very good. The Suite for Jonny is exceptional, it harkens to a particular classic Hollywood sound that I can't get enough of. Her performance of the poem here is also extremely good. She conveys emotionally conflicted, isolated, and love-crazed very well. Cheers is very good as well, her vocals are soooo good in that song.

I'm not sure how to feel about this album as a whole because I like almost all of the songs except for a couple that I think really drag down the overall album. Lego Ring is an extremely unique track in her discography, but I unfortunately find the overprocessed vocals and bass tone very annoying and the Yachty feature feels unnecessary. I see what she was trying to do, but it doesn't work for me. And also He Loves Me Yeah! Is actually a great song but I think it doesn't fit the ... read more

A lot of this album sounds like slowed down lofi hip-hop instrumentals that she performs over with her trademarked indie/folk/alt country style. I think that melding of styles is slightly better done on her previous album, but this is still a very good, fun, enjoyable set of tracks front to back.

Faye Webster leans into this sound she's perfected that toes the line between alternative country and lo-fi indie in the best way possible. So many incredible songs on here: Right Side of My Neck is addictively catchy, the rhythm of Kingston is intoxicating, the poem in Jonny (reprise) is very well performed (here, and especially live). My personal favorite track is Come to Atlanta, which I think might have been the first song I heard from her--probably the best introduction to her sound ... read more

I adore so much of this album. It holds a lot of the country influences from her first album but dives headfirst into her own sound and style instead of forcing a country persona. Lots of songs here that feel integral to her canon of work like She Won't Go Away, I know You, Remember When, and What's the Point. What's the Point is especially good and feels quite different from most of her other music as it's like the best version of what she tried to do on Run and Tell--but ... read more

Not necessarily my cup of tea, but it's also very indicative of Faye's talent and what is to come. This album feels like her attempt to recreate some of her favorite country music without putting much of her own twist on it so it feels quite bland to me. I love the title track. and sweet lad is pretty good as well. Again, not my thing but it's not bad either.

This album is entirely impossible to listen through all the way without getting emotional. The track list isn't my favorite from her as I feel like 2020's songs had a much stronger flow and a more interesting sound pallet overall, but the strength of this album is in Adrianne's continued improvement in lyrical composition. Especially the last 5-6 songs are standouts in that regard. Unfortunately I felt the album took a while to get going before it really found its groove in the ... read more

Face to Face is the perfect reimagining of Twin Fantasy as it should have sounded

Even at its most unlistenable, Will Toledo's songwriting carries this project to a level still a cut above average

The end of the radiohead discography (for now) and its another good one. I just feel like this band can't release bad music. One of their best opening tracks, I love how it builds and crescendos toward the end. The strings hits on daydreaming are so cool. I love how everything on this track kind of phases in and out of my headphones. The female vocalizations on Decks Dark are super pretty. The chord progression on this song is just classic radiohead, there are so many moving parts in this ... read more

This album is so comforting and cozy! It's basically just a glorified EP and I would say that contributes to its general lack of focus compared with their previous 6 albums. But the sound pallet built here is great, just building on the concepts from In Rainbows and a bit of Amnesiac as well. The production here is warm, intimate, and probably somehow a little better than In Rainbows. The first couple tracks didn't really grip me and I was worried this album would be a disappointment, ... read more

That went by really fast, I got to Jigsaw and was shocked that it was almost over. I think that's a testament to how consistently interesting and different every song on the album is. In keeping with my general opinions on Radiohead's electronic sounds, I think 15 Step is the worst song on in rainbows, which doesn't really mean anything because it's basically a perfect song. I love the return to their aggressive alt rock sound on Bodysnatchers, the sound is dirty and ... read more

Hail to the Thief seems like their most underrated album. There are some absolutely fantastic sounds on here, especially some of the smoothest bass lines from any of their albums. The opening track is one of their best openers ever. Where I end and You Begin is a highlight mainly because of the guitar tone on this one. I am starting to tire of Thom Yorke's vocals by this point in my marathon of their albums, but Yorke's delivery on We Suck Young Blood is incredible. The Gloaming has ... read more

I love the latin jazz influence on this album so much, it's the main reason this is probably my top album this far into the discography (although its in tough competition with The Bends for me... I know I have unconventional taste in Radiohead albums but their all so good that its basically a tossup depending on how I'm feeling anyways). This is like all of the creativity from Kid A used in a completely different way and it just works so much better for me. The hooks on Knives Out and ... read more
