The writing and melodies on this are incredible. A few misses but I still need to run it back a few more times. Some of her best work on here
If this was the tracklist it’d be top 3 AOTY for me. Writing is a masterclass in dramatizing intimate interior emotions. Some elite choruses here too

I fw this list I’d throw in the prophecy too
Feels like the dust has finally settled a bit, and I gotta say: this is growing on me.
The core album is extremely strong imo outside of a couple of moments. My Boy, Fresh Out The Slammer, I Can Fix Him, and The Smallest Man are solid album tracks that I don’t really find myself returning to out of context, and I could do without Who’s Afraid and The Alchemy entirely, but otherwise I f*** with the entire tracklist. But Daddy really grew on me hard; I hated it at first, but I’ve come around to it as a manic version of Love Story lol
The Anthology was a serious f***-up in terms of release strategy with some serious gems nonetheless. I don’t like So High School, Aimee, How Did It End, Peter, or Robin, and The Manuscript is very much an only-works-in-context cut imo, but the rest are Evermore-style little unassuming tracks that end up popping into my head.
Favorites overall: Fortnight, TTPD, So Long London, Florida!!! (this one has to be about hard d*** use on her/her partner’s/both’s parts, right?), Guilty As Sin, I Can Do It With A Broken Heart (unbelievably good song), Clara Bow, The Black Dog, The Albatross, Chloe or Sam, I Hate It Here, The Prophecy, and Cassandra.
