Feels like a massive improvement compared to her prior discog, and perhaps i am overrating due to the contrast. Instead of messy and chaotic and frankly hardly musical sometimes, this really feels like music. Noisier, dronier Grouper evoking Liz's debut is the sound dominating a lot of tracks including for example the pretty jammy 1 and 3. The weird stuff isn't gone, but as I said for the previous album it works much better in the context of an album where there isn't only just that, and so tracks like 7 are more than welcome. I did feel like it loses a bit of steam the closer we get to the end, but it's still solid and I think unlike her other stuff thus far I'll jam it again. 3.5
