What a great album

what a great album

you'd be right if she wasnt howling across the entire album

pay no attention to this b8 ladies and gentlemen

agreed

it's a 10/10

A pure masterpiece.

Issue is you cant play it around other people wothout prefacing it or something

Favourite track?

I love all of them but Emily is just really nice.

Only Skin

Agreed

Seconding this

You're right

>tfw can't decide which of her albums I like best
I go through phases, on a HOoM one atm.
Sadly true.
Can't decide desu. Highlights for me: the ending of Monkey & Bear, the "Be a Woman" bits of Only Skin, the "Meteorite" and "Joy landlocked" bits of Emily, Sawdust & Diamonds in general and the "Dried rose petals" and "precious heart" bits of Cosmia.

>all those lonely nights down by the river

Best album off Joanna Newsom's discography honestly

Sawdust and Diamonds

thank you user : - )

Has to be Emily, going through the song is like going through a journey, a great experience

Only Skin

What's the preface user ?

easy 10/10

THE MEADOWLARK AND THE CHIM-CHOO-REE AND THE SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAROW

the entire album is really emotional, but this track makes me tear up every time I listen to it.

yes op, you are correct.

Sawdust & Diamonds, but they're all incredible desu

Monkey did nothing wrong

"She does this weird voice inflection thing that sounds really try-hard and terrible, but you'll get used to it. Just pay attention to the poetic lyrics and try to draw meaning from them without looking them up on genius

Help me Cosmia.

I'm grieving ;_;

opinions on the latest album?
i was very dissapointed, maybe i need to keep relistening but the only song i like is divers, what a fucking song it is though

Like the first half, still unconvinced by the second.

I love it, but as many people have stated before, Same Old Man has no place being on it
Rest is great though.

I really like it, not as much as HOOM or Ys though, but still solid.

Divers is a banger

I always get emotional from the lyrics in The Things I say, and Time as a Symptom is an incredible closer

overall pretty strong album

The only thing I don't like is how delicate and perfect it is. A lot of the instruments sound like they were quantized in a DAW, but i know that isn't true. Just seems really unnatural.

Favorite song is goose eggs.

>unconvinced by the second
>not realizing Time, as a Symptom is the epitome of all that is Joanna

Your choice of bits from Only Skin and Emily is terrible.

sounds like melanie at times which is great because I fucking love melanie

What Would user Choose?

One of her best lyrically and conceptually. Some minor songs (TTIS, SOM) but there's god-tier lyrics in Sapokanikan, LTC, Lightborne, and TaaS. Amazing music in Anecdotes, Divers, A Pin-Light Bent. Huge fan of the synths. And that whole thing where the album ends in the word "Trans—" abruptly cut off and begins with the word "Sending" is still one of the most genius things this genius woman has ever done.

Torn between Emily and Only skin.

This
Honestly I think that's her worst song ever.

I'm slowly warming up to Joanna and her voice but I wish Ys had a little more variety in the instrumentation and I think Divers is almost a little too upbeat and rock-ish at times

Is HOOM going to be a good middle ground? I'm going to listen to it at some point of course but I'm curious if it's going to scratch this particular itch

Ys grows on you. At least it grew on me.

>worse than Three Little Babes
nahhhhhh

>not into Joanna Gladden

wew lad

If you can't into Ys you wont be able into HooM

never said that

You said the one song that's explicitly Gladden-af is her worst. Sorry for reaching the logical conclusion that you don't like Joanna being Gladdeny even though you didn't explicitly say those words.

Why? They're markedly different. Her voice also underwent big, big changes to do with her vocal nodules. I know people who can't into early Joanna but love her new voice. HOoM is her most accessible imo.

Go for it, user. HOoM is a masterpiece.

[spoiler] As well as anything else this woman has ever put out [/spoiler]

eat shit and die you cocksucking faggot
