It is really good, but I have a few I believe are just a bit better. My best of 2024 video will be out soon! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the review. I think it is marvelous. The quality of sound is right up there. She also sounds and looks great. In disagree strongly on the content. There are a couple songs that do nothing for me, but this record is so diverse and so dreamy. I give it a strong 8 of 10.

Thanks so much for watching. I agree that she sounds and looks amazing. But I have to admit I'm confused on which part you strongly disagree with as you gave it basically the same grade I did.

No worries, my overall thoughts are that while it wasn't the record I was expecting or wanted, it's still very good.

I think because of Kim's history with Pixies and then The Breeders and The Amps,people had been expecting an album that was in the vein of all of these,but with Kim you should expect the unexpected and I think this album was unexpected but to me in a good way,I love the diversity of the sound on the album.I had no hesitation in pre-ordering it and I really love the album and it was worth the wait."Crystal Breath" and "Summerland" are my stand out tracks.I think if shows how good a songwriter she actually is.(Matt) P s I got tickets for her only UK gig next year,so really excited to hear these songs live.Iove the cover art too

I 100% agree. I definitely went into this expecting it to sound a certain way, especially based off the singles. But was surprised by how beautiful it was and it really is a great album. Enjoy the show! Thanks for watching.

@@EarWaxReviewsOfficial I feel this an album that needs time,and I think the album works because it so different to what people were expecting,I also think when people hear these songs live it will give a new perspective when listening to the album.I wasn't too sure of the Breeders album "All Nerve" but I saw them live on the tour for that album and after that I really saw how good an album it is and I hope that will happen for people with this solo album from Kim (Matt)

Pretty good review - I'm in total agreement on the packaging but I like the music quite a bit and like the softer ones too. I'd personally go with a solid B++, maybe 87 lol.

Yea I'm sticking with my B+, but that's a solid score. Definitely have enjoyed it on my many plays since the review. Thanks for watching!

I think “Coast” was actually the first single from the album followed by “Crystal Breath” so if you were expecting more of the latter that’s your mistake? Defo one of my top 5 albums of the year.

Whil Coast was the first single, Crystal Breath was the first single I heard. Despite my expectations I still loved the album.

@ It doesn’t come across to me that you loved the album at all to be honest. More like that you found it disappointing or just mediocre. At one point you said one of the songs (Coast I think it was funnily enough) sounded like loads of other songs and gave me the sense that you thought it was unoriginal or that you’d heard it all before? With Coast, yes it does echo some music from the past and I would say that its reminiscent of Blondie’s cover of the reggae tune Tide is High” (John Holt I think) but that’s what I love about Kim, she is unique in how she can break down the elements of a song and put it through her own filter. For example, in an interview recently it was put to her that her influences are not really evident in her songs but she disagreed a little bit. Actually I think it was because she’d mentioned the music she’d listened to in her formative years and one of them was Black Sabbath and she pointed to the opening riff of “Saints” that she said was not a million miles from the riff in “War Pigs”, just as I say she hears something and puts it through her own filter. I know a couple of songs are re-recordings of songs she put out years ago on 7-inches but I think it’s an excellent album personally.

I spoke highly of most of the album and gave it a b+ overall which is a fairly strong grade. Just because I was expecting something different doesn't mean I didn't thoroughly enjoy it...

Listened to the 30th anniversary version of Last Splash by Breeders and was about to purchase it when I listened more and reconsidered. It’s more shards of cool bits rather than songs. Hot take I know and nobody will agree with me. About 3 actual songs, all good but… so where I’m going is there are more good songs on this record. Yeah not much “rock or punk” sound to this but I like it. Crystal breath not my favorite or rockin’ to my ears; disobedient is probably my favorite song here. I get your take though.
