$20 is such a career highlight from Baker, joining Sour Breath and Turn Out the Lights (song) in her trinity :jonny5:

slay :ghostface:

Absolutely beautiful. Will need to give it more listens, but definitely shaping up to be a favourite of this year.

Posted

This is kinda mean but I wish they would kick Lucy out and replace ha with someone more interesting, she's so boring 

Posted

Lucy is the best songwriter of the group (even if I like Phoebe's style more) wtf

Posted

This album is STUNNING. It's giving major The Staves tea, especially with the acapella intro. Chef's kiss.

Gorgeous album, I'm obsessed with Letter To an Old Poet interpolating Me & My Dog.  True Blue and Not Strong Enough are still the best tracks but I expected that, they're nearly impossible to top :butterfly:

Posted

It’s good. True Blue and Not Strong Enough easily wash everything else.

91 on MC  :jonny5:

Satanist, Anti-Curse and Letter to an Old Poet have to be my trinity out of the new songs. Out of the singles, $20 is my favorite. They've done it again :clap3:

This is ******* garbage. :lmao: I bet you $$$ their reviews are all bought by the Phoebe machine. Most generic indie rock slop ever. 

Only decent songs are True Blue and Not Strong Enough.

 

Lucy > Julien >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> world's biggest *****

This made me ******* cry, super unexpected. Gorgeous. 

 

That song is literally the sequel to the best song from their debut EP oh my god!

We're In Love :jonny4: it's the best new track and of course it's a Lucy song! 

Posted

Letter To an Old Poet is doing an number on me :jonny2:

Posted

Obsessed

This is really good and I think they work so well together.

the upbeat songs are generic but cute, the ballads are beyond boring

so over phoebe's sedated mopey vocals

Lucy is kinda the heart and soul of this album. "True Blue" is serving SOTY material. 

 

Aside from the singles, I'm really loving "Leonard Cohen" and "We're In Love"

Oop. The Phoebe backlash has started? :rip:

In love with this album, but the ep is always going to be my favorite. "Emily I'm Sorry" and "True Blue" are still the best after listening to it in full

It's so bizarre.

 

Even my friend who is super into Phoebe has turned on her recently :rip:

That's what happens when indie artists become mainstream. A lot of creeps come and start to attack successful people that don't get the same praise as their other indie faves lol

 

This is such a good album, as a Phoebe fan I don't think it reaches the same highs as Punisher but I'm biased as I'm not a big fan of Lucy nor Julien even though I really enjoy some of their solo songs (specially Julien's Little Oblivions and her song Even).

 

But I must agree that the one that shines the most is Lucy, what a way to go ♥

I think part of it is also tied to Phoebe having the biggest (and most cringe) fanbase as well, so some people are trying super hard to not lump themselves in with that crowd. 
 

With that said, while Punisher was really my foray into the kind of music they make, I’ve since become a lot more into Julien and Lucy - but I also think their lyricism hits me in a more visceral way.
