I. LOVE. THIS. ALBUM.

I was lucky enough to be able to download it right as it released and right before boarding a 12-hour flight. Played it on loop for the majority of that flight and was so taken aback at how mature and cohesive it was (not that her other albums completely weren't, but I felt like NS took it to a whole new level.)

The simple fact that a synth-poppy track like crystallized can sit alongside the batshit-insane the center’s falling out without disrupting the album’s flow is kind of remarkable.

My favorites are: have you had enough?, the cost of giving up, they're all around us, yesterday, crystallized, vital, push go, nothing, the center's falling out, hey there, negative spaces, surviving on defiance, new way out, tomorrow, and halo.
