(A VERY nocturnal alt R&B album with lots of somewhat trip hop beats and tracks and a certain austere, fragile sound. It is cool in theory, but I'm not a fan of the style or sound enough to buy in. Probably just me and my taste, though. And I respect its sound and execution.)
Okay, I made my opening, paranthetical statement too long and almost all my points are covered there. Not a lot to add. This album is kind of cool, sounds like 3am in your living room, coming down from whatever revelry you were just engaged in, contemplating the fragile loneliness that eats at you whenever you're alone. Some of the tracks are actually really quite cool, and are subtly soulful and have a deep groove that sound amazing. Especially like "Already Falling".
I am not a fan of this style of vocals, this whispery, wheezy, indoor-voice sound. It is just a personal preference, and sometimes that style works with the trip hoppy beats, but mostly I find myself unimpressed and bored with it.
The back half of this album features some really solid tracks that express that sad, sorrowful, self-pitying mood quite well. Most notably on "Is it Because". Great song.
Overall, this isn't really my thing, my style, whatever. But it is generally quite well made and I am glad I heard it. [First added to this chart: 10/13/2021]

(While having its moments of intense, intimate beauty, this album also did leave me unmoved for long stretches. Although the piano-heavy art pop and art rock and chamber pop here is quite heady and admirably composed, it never rose above quite nice in my opinion.)
After a few listens I feel like I just don't vibe with this album as much as I would expect myself to based off the individual parts. The one glaring thing that honestly just grated on me a bit was her voice - it has a certain theatrical, somewhat gothic, melodramatic showyness to it that I am generally not a fan of in almost any artist. That same sort of moody, self-serious, affect of gloom and tension. I don't like it in Nick Drake's music, PJ Harvey's, Fiona Apple's, anyone. I think that element is the one MAJOR drawback to this sound.
Outside of the vocals, the arrangements are heady, detailed and quite pretty. The lyrics are good, the strings sound good, the piano and the drums when they come in and turn the Art Pop into Art Rock for short burtsts they are also good and they pop. In many ways this is a pretty good and well written album. Yet, the vocals and the general flow of the album made me lose interest for long stretches.
Not much else to say. Musically this is good and even sometimes the vocals are alright. But a big enough portion of the album features her more quirky quasi-cabaret vocal delivery that I tend to not really vibe with this music or album. [First added to this chart: 09/27/2021]

(This sounds like an overly fuzzed out Kills-clone with some of that peak White Stripes squeaky guitar and riffage but done half as well. There is a certain air of swag here, but it feels forced and juvenile. Not a fan.)
Okay, first for some stuff I liked. The riffs actually are kinda cool at times. While the guitar tone is absurdly fuzzy, the guitar work is kinda cool. The time signatures are interestingly odd, and sometimes when the singer isn't trying to be the most edgy woman of all time, she sounds good.
But mostly...this really doesn't sound good to me. Based off what I read about it and some of the names these reviewers and commenters had the AUDACITY to drop (fucking white stripes, Kills, THE GUN CLUB?!? whaaaat?...) I thought this would kick. friggin. assss! The reality is that it sounds most like The Kills at their worst, with that mid to late 90s goth/edge vibe done badly. The random NIN cover at the end was a brilliant surprise. I love the Broken EP by Nine Inch Nails more than maybe anything else by Reznor, and that song choice was, admittedly, dope. But I don't think they did the song justice.
Anyway, sorry to be a downer. Not feeling this album. But alas not all can be winners. [First added to this chart: 09/23/2021]

(Very lively Techno and House album.)
This is not my usual style, can't say I've played a techno or house album more than a half dozen times. But this is clearly a vibrant and lively and creative album start to finish. Its never repetitive, always has a driving and bright strength as it rolls along. Its really really solid.

(As much as I generally like the work of Ben Howard and his brand of almost numb sadness I for some reason didn't connect with this album. Some good songs and I still love the bones of his sound and probably always will)
Not much to say about this. This album bored me at many points and at other more coldly electronic bits on this album I was actually turned off and it felt awkward and pointless. I love his first couple albums and especially his brilliant 2014 studio album (is on my chart or it was can't remember if it still is) and there is something so real and right about his deadened vocal delivery and the way he weaves his vocals into these ambient electronic sounds and more traditional acoustic sounds. That amazing quality is still sprinkled into this album. But more often there is a harsh, overly-cold layer of quasi-industrial sound that pervades this album and I just didn't buy-in at any point. I will come back at some point to this album. But for now I am a bit disappointed in the way I responded to this most recent Howard album.
