    I can’t seem to get through the album the way I have from her past albums. Doesn’t feel like the sound suits her. Maybe a better producer? Sounds unfinished.

    What happened to Annie? I miss her early work. It doesn’t add up to what she has done.

    So depressed. I really wanted to get into this but I literally felt like passing out. Maybe next time.

    Too dull and disconnected. If it had more catchy melodies, it might have won the aesthetic over. Doesn’t live up to its hype.

    at a point, its many detailed references start to feel like clutter, preventing the songs from moving too freely in their own ways

    Weighed down by its own concept and bloated with references, there’s just no room left for emotional reckoning. In the end, we’re better off seeing Daddy's Home as purely an homage to the rich ‘70s funk and psychedelic music scene from somebody who only experienced it secondhand. It’s simply unable to withstand the added complexity of the personal narrative that we were promised.

    Daddy's Home takes time to unfold in listeners' imaginations. It's much more of a mood than anything else in her body of work, but its hazy reconciliation of the good and bad of the past makes it as an uncompromising statement from her as ever.

    It is her most personal record to date, telling the story of her father’s incarceration and her own fear of parenthood. It is delivered entirely in costume. The best and truest moments on Daddy’s Home are when Clark refuses to play wife or mother.
