I kind of like phoebe even if I don’t care for her music. I’m not sick of her and although that hype was mildly annoying at the time, it doesn’t bother me in retrospect.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but I think it's because of the overexposure to her compared to the other two. I think Stranger and Punisher are both really solid, but Phoebe is probably my least favorite member of Boygenius tbh

Idk anything about the third but I’d rather listen to a Phoebe album than a Julien Baker album any day.

I love Julien and her music to death (and Lucy too now, Home Video was a revelation), but Phoebe's music has always had a comforting quality for me that is too easy to come back to

think it was less Punisher itself and more her PR team working overtime to get her in a headline every single day, doing 100 features a year most of which were completely unnecessary, and all the singles/covers she's released since Punisher just being lesser variations on the exact same sound. hard not to get a little sick of it



also everyone in here who ranked Julien at the bottom, unironically seek help

I can't think of a single one of her features that I've really liked but her solo work hasn't dulled at all idk

Best of all of their individual output aside from Punisher imo

"yeah why would you let that affect your feelings for this album"



because her songs on this suffer from literally exactly all the same problems and they're the easy weak point here. i mean Rev 0 sounds like someone plugged every Phoebe song into an AI and told it to generate another one

Listening to this now, and I think I prefer this to anything I've heard from them as solo artists

Very weak run in the back end, anti-curse probably sounds better just because it ends it.

god, Not Strong Enough is still one of the best songs any of them will ever do.



really loving this as a whole though. Cool About It feels especially Bright Eyes. Satanist is fuckin swaggerific. and the last 3 are big emotions from each of them.



already loved $20 and the other 2 first tracks have grown on me a lot now.
