I've Got a Friend being an underrated gem of the album

Shatter is the best song of 2022. Why?

because there are backing vocals by Florence 

That's Where I Am is one of my favorite 2022 songs, It gives me early Dido vibes and I'm 100% here for it 

 

IMO this album is better than her previous one. Sad it missed top 10 in US/Canada/Australia, but at least she got her first top 10 in UK

She definitely pushed more for the UK so that makes sense

HIIAPL > Notes > Surrender

 

WW and TWIA the clear standouts 

 

Shatter is #3 but the vocals require some getting used to 

 

I’ve Got A Friend is the only real skip, but there’s a handful of tracks that are just okay. 

Also Anywhere With You is cute - kinda the more bombastic version of this track

I’m pissed that it took her 3 years just to release this she needs to go on another Alaskan hike clearly

like 

Y'all are tasteless and have no shame about it this shits on her debut 

be cool is my new walking song

I basically haven’t listened to any of the album other than WW which I love. Every time I start another song I zone out after 30 seconds. Maybe they just can’t capture my interest, but I felt that way about HIAPL too with some songs. 
 

anyways…

for real  that album is really not great, i don't understand the cult following it's gotten 

I’m kinda surprised how polarizing this seems to be. In my opinion, it’s a very mature and organic follow-up to her debut

 

And I’m glad she didn’t go down the rehash road despite how easy that would’ve been to do

I am living with this album more and more and it's like a trusting friend you can turn to for comfort. Such great songs.

No, both of her albums are great

hate to say this, but it has aged quite poorly 

 

HIIAPL was much better & still sounds fresh even to this day 

yeah this album was a disappointment all around. Nothing to really hook you in outside of Want Want, which is a shame because I loved her debut

Not when Anywhere With You and Shatter exist 

Anywhere with You and Shatter are both exceptional moments in 2022 alt/indie pop 

This album is much better than her debut!!! The last 3 tracks arent it for me but other than that im obsesseddd

As someone who loves HIIAPL - I could see why people find it sorta basic. But Surrender just feels really different in a great way and I can see so much artistic progression with this album. Maggie sounds so free and confident on here and I love that

the WORST color variant out of them all - and I still don't know where it even came from

It’s advertised as the same “spring green” variant but it’s the version sold mainly in Europe/UK (made in Czech Republic) and it came out more translucent. The “spring green” sold mainly in North America (made in Canada) came out opaque like the mock-ups!

Still just as amazing as it was on first listen! Symphony SOTY iygiygiifydyd 

finally got my vinyl - was kinda surprised because this particular Target copy has an orange strip on the back, which matches the indie exclusive orange color variant and not the Target one, but nevermind 

 

@VeniceBeachdo you like my new vinyl?
