My favorite song here is probably the most well known one. Pedestrian at Best. Her lyricism thoughout that song is really witty and I really like the rhyme schemes she incorporates into the song on top of the awesome guitar riff and feedback effects.
It’s almost like she’s rapping at times. In fact I’m gonna make a really weird comparison here. She reminds me of MF DOOM in this song with the multi syllable rhymes. Maybe I’m crazy but that’s what it reminds me of.
I also really like Small Poppies. It’s a really cool slowed down bluesy ballad with awesome guitars and maybe it doesn’t fit with the rest of the album but I think it works.
