"Talk Talk was once a tinny synth-pop band. The Beatles started out their recording career with the thin "Love Me Do". Radiohead began as a fairly run-of-the-mill alt-rock band.

"It might not be as epic as her debut but it's really close, especially after multiple listens. Love how NDA goes right into Therefore I Am. Was worried at first how much I'd like this since her debut was my favorite album of 2019 and the singles on that first one just slapped harder but dang some..."  [+]  Reply
