The album overall is beautiful and I can see her vision with it. The weakest songs for me are Paris, Texas, Grandfather, and Peppers. I enjoy the album. I want to stress that I am not saying I want her to revisit old material because I know that’s how people will interpret this. However, there was a different quality to her work pre-NFR and maybe even before LFL (minus a few tracks, mainly unreleased ones from that time). There was something there that isn’t so present in the music anymore and it’s totally okay for some people to long for that again. Listening to this album and then listening to songs like Old Money, Dragon Slayer, etc, there is something different there. I don’t expect her to go back to that style because she’s growing as a person and I appreciate it. But I am allowed to miss that story-telling and atmosphere that old songs had. Once again, I love this new music too, but the older music had that atmosphere and maybe it’s the current producers she’s working with contributing to that (minus Jon Batiste).

The way she sings Lately, I've been thinkin' about how things used to be Swingin' in a nightgown underneath the old oak tree Almost Victorian with you, you can talk to me But, lately, I can see… in Fishtail is a very similar melody to Hello, pretty baby, I can be your cherry pie, You walk into the room, my heart goes boom Send me to the sky in Live or Die

I think Sweet plays well into discovering her deepest fears because it describes what she wants in a relationship and how she sees herself. And then we move onto to A&W where a guy was treating her as a side piece, completely opposite of what she describes in Sweet. The Judah Smith interlude completes this idea.

I’ve ended up liking songs that I didn’t pay attention to when we got the track list: Fishtail, Candy Necklace, Margaret, and the interludes. It’s a very beautiful album. I’m starting to come around to it. It was a lot to listen to at once. Putting it on shuffle and revisiting songs one at a time has helped me get into it more.
