Kinda, it speaks to larger systemic issues. Older mostly male music reviewers thinking that she isn’t appreciative enough of the honor they bestowed on her. It also speaks to the laziness of a lot of music critics after heaping gushing praise on an artist to comeback on the second album as a harsh critic. Feels like anytime an artist is anything less than humble or grateful many are punitive in their next review of the artist.Cause she gave a crappy acceptance speech? lol.
I feel like had she played nice the reviews would have been kinder. Also, she entitled her follow album an 89 word poem which everyone felt like they needed to make jokes about in their write ups.
Personally It’s my favorite of her albums I feel like she and Jon Brion were a perfect pairing and am still disappointed that she had to shelve their version of Extraordinary Machines.
