Usually, I ignore lyrics. Here, I loved the crafty rhyming and the vocabulary. Music and production are tasteful and exploratory. I was disappointed by the melodies, they all seemed too familiar. Anti-Hero was a standout, Karma was good. Lyric that pulled me in: No one wanted to play with me as a little kid So I've been scheming like a criminal ever since To make them love me and make it seem effortless This is the first time I've felt the need to confess And I swear I'm only cryptic and Machiavellian 'cause I care

Not sure about this one…same as Omnian? Claims “blue”, looks aqua. Claims custom artwork, looks the same. https://wearebraindead.com/collections/all/products/homeshake-under-the-weather-album?mc_cid=8eb9f763f2&mc_eid=ccc2b5a9e8

Got the Matador splat today. Really nice pressing. Some really quiet passages, great guitar tone, good separation, relatively thick bass...hits hard. Some new sounds. Slightly over produced...give it to me raw. Some fun use of stereo. Tinge of 80’s/soft rock on some tracks.

“Shipped” 12/4 (label said it shipped that week) Accepted 12/16 Last scanned 12/20 Arrived at local hub today! Miracles do happen.

First set of songs...agree with the “more pop” sentiment. Turning point is tolerate it, no body, and happiness are very different, thankfully...more interesting to me.

I've been thinking about when I was trying to be your friend I thought it was then But it wasn't It wasn't genuine I was just so furious But I couldn't show you 'Cause I know you And I know what you can do And I don't wanna war with you I won't afford it You get sore even when you win

Great stuff. Crafty. She can do anything, and she does just about everything on this album. I found it a bit tiring to listen to, mainly because the drums were generally following the vocals. It’s like Tune-Yards, but way more matured. Two memorable spots: Shameika dropped out pre-chorus (2:10) and Ladies when talking about the dress the ex left behind. Can’t wait to listen again.

No, saw an ad earlier, don’t see much info on it.
