Zzzzzz zzzzzzzz zzz.

Nice enough

A lot more interesting than I expected it to be. Solid recc!

I just didn’t get into this. All the songs sounded the same to me. Also it felt like half of every song was the same sentence repeated, which I didn’t enjoy.

I really liked this but it's in no way overly original since there's like a gadzillion female artists in this vein.

Cover: 1/5. Very uninteresting Content: 4/5 Best Song: Sister I've heard the album a few times and like the style.

I liked that the vocal effects were a bit janky and broken but otherwise it felt a bit dull

I wonder about the sort of people who find MY WOMAN to be essential listening. I suspect I wouldn't find them very interesting. 2.

MY WOMAN is the third album of singer-songwriter Angel Olsen. It contains folky indie rock. She lost me in the second half of the album as the songs are slower and her nasal voices started nagging me (especially in Pops), the first part is more uptempo and a lot better. All in all a nice album, but not mindblowing.

Yea this front half is cool, though not really my aesthetic.

Lovely listen. I'm going to listen to some Lana Del Rey now.

The slower second half of this is less impressive than the first few tracks. Overall, it's a decent album with some cracking tracks on it, but it definitely ends weaker.

Pretty boring and unoriginal, but not actively bad. Probably scores a second star largely because of how terrible other albums on the list are! Far from essential listening though - just another sad American who knows 4 chords

Nothing really stood out on this album. Otherwise, it's an ok one

Above average 3.5/5

Rating: 6/10 Best songs: Never be mine, Shut up kiss me

Aight singer-songwriter, doesn't really do much to stand out.

Didn't listen to all of it

This played while I listened!

Kinda your classic whispery woman pop but this time with fuzzy guitars. I liked the arrangements on a lot of these and enjoyed my time, but doubt I’ll revisit.

Favourite songs: Shut Up Kiss Me, Never Be Mine, Woman Least favourite songs: Not Gonna Kill You, Heart Shaped Face 3/5

Love Angel Olsen. Great album but probably doesn't need to be essential listening. My personal rating: 5/5 My rating relative to the list: 5/5 Should this have been included on the original list? No

This is the standard candle I hold all singer-songwriter projects to, and an incredible album overall. Olsen manages to center her incredibly vulnerable lyricism in the midst of even roaring instrumentation — this LP remains open and emotional without having to strip the instrumentals down to one acoustic guitar or the softest backing band you've heard in the world. The emotional and dynamic contrast go hand in hand as Angel swoops from passionate, uncontrollable highs ('Shut Up Kiss Me') to the softer, dreamy spaces of tracks like 'Sister' and 'Pops.' The overall effect is a project that screams singer-songwriter while unapologetically filling the production space with an incredibly diverse palette of instrumentals. Shows how much potential the genre has than just being sad guys/gals with a guitar, this add kicks ass and is exactly what the user list is about to me.

I definitely preferred the first half of the album, which has a more upbeat, direct style with some really catchy songs and a great balance of indie rock and pop. The second half is much more slow-paced and retrospective, which is quite a contrast and will probably take a few more listens to fully appreciate. Overall though, I really enjoyed this and can see it going into my frequent rotation. A great example of genuinely good modern music, although I suppose 10 years old now!

This was just alright for me. Nice voice, solid songs, but nothing really stood out to me. 3 stars.

so good! I think I liked All Mirrors a little more, but they’re both amazing - 10/10

This was good, interesting writing and well performed. I wish there was a little more going on instrumentally, and her vocal range is limited, but in both respects it gets the job done.

Ungefär lika spännande som att se färg torka eller se gräs växa. I ärlighetens namn så var det ett mycket svag nominering till listan. Gör om, gör rätt.

Kind of a haunting Lana Del Rey feel that really won me over.

Indie rock. Ni fu ni fa.

May woman in a beautiful women called Nyah, and I love her
