そこそこ良いと思うのだが、

扱いと点数があんまり出ていない。

 

以前は、アルバム内に

ちょいちょいハードなギター曲を挟んでいたみたいだが、

前作くらいから、よりフォーク寄りな感じになっているよう。

 

 

 

 

 

A quick glance at the nine-song track list of Mo Kenney’s fifth studio album might set alarm bells ringing–‘Self Doubt’ and ‘Bad Times’ summoning up a vision of the archetypal singer-songwriter misery narrative – but the first listen is enough to dispel such concerns. Yes, their songs are confessional, and go to the heart of dealing with interpersonal dramas, but throughout the songwriting craft and musicality shine through, with a deft lightness of touch that belies the often unsettling lyrical themes.

Kenney tells that “I sort of thought that getting sober was going to fix all my problems with relationships, and then I would just be fine. Drinking was causing all the issues I was having, but it was just the tip of the iceberg; quitting made all my problems more clear but didn’t resolve any of them.”
