    The themes Cara explores here are moving and mature, but she dilutes them when she relies too much on metaphor and conceit.

    The album is sonically and lyrically her best work yet, and proves that any process of healing is never black or white and does not exist on a straight line.

    From start to finish, lolling hooks flood Cara's mind as much as indecision, skepticism, and other negative thoughts. They make all the bad stuff go down easy, enabling the listener to have a proper sulk that soothes.
