so so so beautiful

I Love this album. It was the first of Weyes Blood that i listened, and i was absolutely delighted. It's such a beautiful album from beginning to end. My favorite tracks are Movies, Andromeda, A Lot's Gonna Change and Something To Believe

This record is a great example of why this site is so useful. Without it, I never would have pursued this beautiful love child between baroque and 70s soft rock. So pleasant…

This album is a sonic experience. Otherworldly beauty 9/10

A bit of droning and noodling, beautiful but not for me..

Really beautiful, and a throwback to an earlier era of songwriting.

This album is of a very high quality and the vocal performance is just enchanting and is the real standout for the album. The lyrics are great as well and the way they are sung just makes them sound perfect. There is also a lot of soft instrumentation here making the whole album feel smooth and flow from track to track so easily. It can be a little repetitive with the music though and it does drag nearer the end with the last couple tracks being weaker. The opening is phenomenal however and really demonstrates the brilliance of the artist. Overall, a fantastic album with so many highlights that would be higher rated without the slower ending.

Surprisingly, not a great sounding record even though the production's good.
Andromeda is a really good song!
In what concerns influences weirdly Abba came to mind on a song like Everyday. Also her voice has an hint of Aimee Mann. Unexpected references and way poppier than I thought Weyes Blood were.
Lots of catchy melodies and even though level of craft is elevated there's always that feeling of "heard it before".
Nonetheless, a good record!

I've listened to hardly any new albums in the last couple of years and after recently buying this I fear what I may be missing. The first two tracks are absolutely stunning and it would be unfair to judge the album against those. Everything is almost perfect, brilliant songwriting and topped by the vocal which is somewhere between Karen Carpenter and Laura Marling. The only downside is the sound on the cd is slightly harsh when everything is full in the mix. This has been on repeat all weekend and if it has staying power is to be seen. A possible overall chart contender. Did in mention I love the vocal?

Deserved AOTY, truly beautiful piece of music.
