    Courtney Barnett is a skilled singer/songwriter who has talents way beyond the average musician and this new release 'Tell Me How Your Really Feel' is a variety of songs ranging from mediocre indie ballads to catchy, hard-hitting bangers that fans have come expect.

    The queen is back, as strong as ever. Though I couldn't really hear her charming Australian accent this time around. And I rather she put those grunge cliches, that she still relied on here, to rest.

    There is some kickass guitar work on this album. It rocks harder than the first record and, for my ears, that is CB's strength. Very good.

    a more mature and interesting project, the production and instrumentation is more varied full of energy and melancholy, courtney has been overcome herself

    Great album, in spite of many may think ‘cause of the early reviews she’s getting, Courtney has outdone herself with this record. Check it out, one of my favorites of the year so far alongside Beach House’s ‘7’ and Janelle Monáe’s ‘Dirty Computer’

    After last year’s uninhabited Kurt Vile collaboration, she has a second album called Tell Me How You Really Feel that restores confidence in her tunes and the way her guitar lines snake through them. ... Settle into Tell Me’s crinkled smarts and Barnett remains as observant as Sometimes demonstrated.

    It’s complicated. There are no punchlines. In these songs of existential despair, a change in perspective is its own kind of revelation, as is Barnett finding the few good words to describe it.

    The performances are muscular and attention-grabbing, and the melodies built around her distress take new and zestful contours.
