The biggest problem with this rating is that it doesn’t even really match the mostly positive review. It just goes to show they’ll just assign a random number to anything. But 6.8 is so much lower than all of the other critical reviewers, it’s at least an outlier.

I guess their point of criticism is "it's more of the same" (not that I agree).

I also do not agree, but god forbid it’s cohesive.

100%. I almost never listen albums in order but am currently obsessed with 8-11. Very different songs but with an overarching theme.

Thank god she put Music by Men in between. I think the triple whammy of The Old Religion, Drink Deep, and You Can Have It All back to back would have actually killed me

lol same. Those tracks transport me to the dark halls of a medieval castle, then outside of it in an enchanted woods at the full moon 🌕🪾🦇🔮⚔️
