Music For People In Trouble

it’s interesting - I’ve never heard of this artist before but in reading about her, I was clued in to her previous album to this one - Ten Love Songs - and liked it infinitely more than this one. This one feels a bit anaemic in comparison. Bonus star for introducing me to the artist.

Fully prepared to DNF and give it a slating as "Reincarnation" sounds like county music, and that's not OK. I skipped reincarnation after an interminably long time, and so far the album hasn't been country again, which is I guess in it's favour. Undercover is also kinda county, so unfortunately the album gets dings for that. Repeated country-ism suggests that it was done intentionally, as if country was something people might actually want to hear. It also gets dings for being dull. I am unmoved by its sustain-pedal sentimentality.

I feel like it ever quite made it where it was going. Kinda boring. Favorite songs: Reincarnation, The Sound of War, Undercover Least favorite songs: Music for People in Trouble, The Golden Age 2/5

A good contemporary pick, as there was a time not long ago where Susanne Sundfør was all the rage. Unfortunately, I found this album particularly boring - nothing much more to say.

I remember Susanne Sundfør being very popular when I was in high school. I didn’t get it back then, and I really haven’t been thinking about her since then. Turns out I still don’t get the hype. It’s pretty, but also pretty boring.

Two and a half? It’s not really offensive. But I don’t much care for it.

I just couldn’t get into this one at all.

I think I'm a person in trouble (always). After listening to this album, I'm in trouble but also sad and discouraged. Nice voice, though.

Music For People In Trouble. Bit dull. Nice voice, sound is pretty in small doses but quickly becomes dreary and boring. The second half of The Sound of War is more interesting than most songs and Mountaineers is a fine finisher, if more were like it I'd give it a 3 but they weren't, so it's a 2.

She can sing, but these songs do nothing for me. I can see why others would like it, but thisbkind of music just makes me very sleepy.

This feels like a lot of the modern pop music that I’ve been forced to listen by my SO however this one is a bit less up beat and more melodramatic. Something about foreign artists that have good vocals that really enjoy having a melancholy style of music. I’d be more inclined to listen to Benee or some other pop artists than this album. It wasn’t terrible, but it’s just not my taste. 5.3/10

This was already going to be an uphill battle as I’m not usually one for slower singer-songwriter efforts, but Sundfør’s predilection for sub-60 BPM tracks across the entire LP made this one a slog. Next to no rhythmic or dynamic contrast, cloying lyrics, and straight love songs across the board meant this was well outside my wheelhouse and honestly kind of annoying. Susanne may have a killer voice, but 45 minutes of boomerish whining about how nO oNe BeLiEveS iN lOvE AnYmoRe would be a tough sell even if it was coming from a choir of angels.

Non eventful

Some of it was decent. There were parts that were super weird. Not sure why someone would want to add this, I will round down.
