the thing about boy problems is the way that somewhere around the midway point it has, before you know it, become a kind of psychedelic fugue that fractals in and out of itself

There are so many good things about Boy Problems:
- The 'nah-nah-nah-nah-nah's - The baseline! The fucking baseline! - The fact it should have been bigger than 'Get Lucky' - The 'DUN! DUN! DUN!' just before the chorus - The satisfying syncopation(?) of the backing vocals after she sings 'worse problems...' (something about 'my boyfriend')

'when i needed you' was a massive singalong highlight of the london show, felt like everyone had loved it for years and years

Sia's demo version of "Making the Most of the Night". Carly sings this so much better IMO.

E•mo•tion was voted most underrated album on pfork's readers' poll, which I imagine was no doubt reinforced by the Grammy snubs, since it doesn't seem otherwise unloved
― Sushi and the Banchan (Spectrist), Friday, 8 January 2016 16:45 (ten years ago)
think Pitchfork readers probably consider it underrated relative to the middling review it got there rather than caring about it being snubbed by the Grammys
― ufo, Friday, 8 January 2016 16:58 (ten years ago)
was pleasantly surprised to hear that re: the pitchfork readers! in general albums by women have automatically scooped up the 'most overrated' accolade even if they weren't really that praised lol
― dyl, Friday, 8 January 2016 17:27 (ten years ago)
I thought "Most Overrated" tends to go to whatever album Pitchfork gave the highest score to that year.
Of course, I participated in the poll and gave Underrated to Susanne Sundfor, in that she wasn't even reviewed on the site, and Overrated to Tobias Jesso Jr.

The Junos are notoriously dreadful (see Nickelback's "Album of the Year" award for Dark Horse, and I hope aren't taken to speak for the people of Canada.
