oof, I don’t know how yous listened to this multiple times. I couldn’t do it. I’m mostly indifferent towards her music now. I think yous may have been too easy on this as even a “3” feels slightly high. I give yous major credit again for being willing to throw out some difficult critiques on this, as yous did on the new Beyonce record.
A couple quick snips:
-her cursing still sounds silly & completely out of place in these songs; it just doesn’t feel genuine
- Florence came out ok from this; that song was one of the “highlights”
- Can we please stop with the ridiculously long and/or double records! 2+ Hours!!???!! WTF?!!? I’m almost dead. I don’t have that kind of time left to spend listening to mediocre records.👹

Trust me, if the second disc wasn’t slightly bearable, this would’ve been a 2 and the lowest score I’ve ever given an album on the podcast - D
