Record is very dense production wise. Full of miniature details and very self contained. I absolutely love the opening song

The general reaction for this album seems above average, critically and just user opinions I’ve read. Which is fair as the album is so short and ends on “utopia” which is a stunner of a song, at 34 mins this is succinct.
This record feels transitory to me in that her last one was a fairly bummer ride compared to previous work, but here she seems to be reconciling? Not as much a shift as sundfors last two to draw a comparison.

I had put off listening to this because the last one was such a washout but this is much better, maybe lacking a great single but possibly her best full album?

Great record

I'm still not enjoying this as much as I want to. It certainly is a step up from the last album, but it's nowhere near the quality of her first two albums for me. Wounded Rhymes is my favourite.

this one has some good bits but imho they’re the most familiar bits (bad woman, last piece)

I'm starting to come around to this album. I keep getting the chorus to Jaguars In The Air stuck in my head.

No comment as yet it seems on her most recent album EYEYE - it's extremely doleful, maybe even more so than I Never Learn. I wasn't wild about the last album but this one seems like a big improvement to me.
