It's really good, but I much, much, much prefer her previous two albums. I just feel she lost her magic on this one, and instead just made a classy, solid record. As much as I like it, I'd call it a disappointment.

It's the laziest fucking comparison ever, but the transition from Ys to this is reminiscent of Joni's travels into fuller, jazzier waters. Anyway, this is pretty dope. I still think she's overrated on t'internet, but her albums are uniformly great.

It's, at the very least, the best album of the last ten years. By one of the greatest singers of the 21st century, yes I'm quite a big fan.

I actually agree with this except for the fact that I wouldn't call it a disappointment and I don't think it is better than Milk Eyed Mender (they're tied). I think her magic was most apparent in Ys, and on Milk Eyed Mender and this it was just amazing music, not transcendentally omg wow music like Ys.

In my eyes this is Newsom's best work, and one of my favourite all time albums. If Ys is a fairytale, then this is a novel - it feels so much more down to earth, thoughtfully constructed and, because of that, more poignant than her other work. Every song feels like it builds on what the last had provided, I'm in awe of how a person could write nearly 2 flawless hours of music and have it all feel like it's part of one greater picture.
I'm actually really excited to hear it again, I'll listen to it tomorrow.

I think the running time of this album is what hurts it in comparison to her first 2. This could have easily been 2 albums. But at this length it becomes really hard to take it all in in one sitting.
Lethal, it may appear lazy, but your comparison to Joni's transition to jazzier waters is pretty spot on

No shit, it's over two hours. The filler makes this not as good as Ys, but i like it more than The Milk-Eyed Mender.
