This is excellent. Probably my favorite album of hers, just ahead of Divers.

Echoing the statements here. This is a sprawling masterpiece and easily her best album.

Surprised to see so many people calling their their fav of Joanna's. I like it but Milk Eyed Mender and Ys are way better. This gets too mired in typical singer-songwriter style songs I think. Plus its just waay less fun and its mood less total than the two albums that came before this. There are some great songs here but some are just too reliant on the lyrics, and kind of lifeless.

tbh this, Ys, and Milk-Eyed Mender are all essentially equal in my mind and are all among the greatest albums ever. There's not really anything in here I'd call lifeless. Also intermittent confessional asides + heavy emphasis on lyricism ≠ singer/songwriter typicality

Yeah I think this is actually her weakest- not that it isn't excellent in parts, but it would've been so, so much better if she focused it into two separate projects. It really seems to be two seperate, uneven halves that take on different modes of experimentation (one literary, one a psuedo-live jam band style), and it just doesn't fit, it all just kind of blurs. Still worth it for the best moments, especially on the first and last discs.
