    El track #1 ya te dice de lo bueno que está hecho el álbum . Como sugerencia ,diría que apreciaría mucho más sus notas bajas que las altas que ya estamos acostumbrados.

    so mid! I could not listen to it anymore, Mainwright should be more like Lady Gaga for her future if they want career.

    The album is is great! I enjoyed the isolation of the vocals and the simplicity. Compared to other albums released this week I found the production to be much weaker. Other than that I really enjoyed the listen, some songs I added to specific playlists but would personally not revisit due to the relatability of the music. I also think I am not the target market for this album, but wouldThe album is is great! I enjoyed the isolation of the vocals and the simplicity.

    The great joy of this late period album is that it doesn’t take itself too seriously. Lifetime Achievement is not so much a last will and testament as a bravura insistence on Wainwright’s intention to carry on living and loving for as long as he can.

    His voice remains strident as the album veers from pared-down solo to spritely contributions from the likes of Chaim Tannenbaum and David Mansfield, plus a less successful string arrangement. [Sep 2022, p.90]

    First single Town And Country is a band-backed hymn to city-loving Wainwright’s current lifestyle that adds a touch of rock’n’roll pizzazz to proceedings.
