    One more bad job that criticism tries to push down everyone's throats. Maybe you lack inspiration to create interesting melodies and lyrics with a good message

    While she can’t always shake the anodyne songwriting that plagued her past work, it’s still her best album to date.

    As with all the best sets, it’s coherent but not repetitive, the ghostly Auto-Tune choir, which features on most tracks, sighing and whispering encouragement behind Banks’s increasingly empowered words. There are shades of Bon Iver and Billie Eilish in her layered, subtle sound, but also a rare, steely delicacy all her own.

    [The off-trend songs like Alaska, Sawzall and Hawaiian Mazes] feel freer, more exciting and more innovative. But III isn’t that. Instead, for the most part, it feels like Banks-by-numbers.
