Can't help but feel a bit disappointed after her debut. A lot more forgettable tracks.
Hold the Girl is a BANGER tho
A tremendous follow-up to Julia's breakthrough "Crushing." This record once again is a fantastic blend of rock and singer-songwriter that puts her in the class of many of her contemporaries including Lucy Dacus and Soccer Mommy. "I Was Neon" has SOTY potential for me
Kinda disappointed after her really promising debut. Tracks lack the catchiness of her prior work but also I feel she fails to showcase her voice here and just kinda talks through so many of the tracks.
A massive improvement from her debut. Starting to capitalize on that potential that made Pharrell cry
It's an album that I can recognize is a masterpiece, but I also don't see me revisiting it a lot.
It's something to listen to a song called "Darkness Forever" just as you learn abortion has been outlawed...
Color Theory is maybe my AOTD so far, so I was excited to hear this. And while I think it's strong, it's definitely her weakest to date. Some of the lo-fi is a little too lo-fi for me IMO.
While the Bartees Strange debut suffered from being a little all over the place, despite its highs, this one is far more consistent, but with far fewer great moments. It's pretty bland
I had no idea who this person was this morning, but now I'm on my third listen? These songs are absolutely infectious someone call the CDC
Not sure if I love or hate this one after a few listens. Really no clue. Rating may be off by 20 points in either direction. Thoroughfare is epic though
