    I agree with the lower scores from critics because, like they mention, this album is very scattered and a bit overwhelming (not in a good way). Clark shows tons of potential but oversteps too often. She is obviously a talented writer, arranger, and musician, but needs to reel it in a bit and focus her output. Know when to say when. The album still makes for a very interesting listen.

    An album that starts in sublime manner but track by track tapers off. The openeing few tracks had me mesmorised but I found side two to be a bit meandering and a bit of a mess. While I would say St Vincent albums have nearly always improved upon themselves and this being her debut means I consider it her weakest effort. That said, "Your Lips Are Red" and "Now Now" remain amongst the bestAn album that starts in sublime manner but track by track tapers off.

    Titling your major label bow Marry Me builds certain expectations. Thankfully, everywhere on her full-length debut, Annie Clark makes the title's request impossible.

    Though her versatility is promising, Clark will be able to compete only when she figures out how to be one very interesting person, instead of five caricatures at once.

    It's an excellent debut, and hints at a potentially significant force in indie rock in the coming years.
