Disregard my initial criticism of this album because I haven’t taken the time to sit down and give it a good in-depth listen (which is one of my old man gripes below).
I should be more excited about Have One on Me considering how incredible Joanna Newsom’s last album Ys was but I can not get excited about a TRIPLE album release.
I should be happy that she’s releasing so much new music but I feel like a triple album release ruins the enjoyment for me because it makes the album into this daunting musical opus that will take months to truly comprehend and enjoy – and I’m not sure I want to invest that much of my time into this.
I’m also bummed because Van Dyke Parks, the man responsible for the orchestral arrangements on Ys, is no where to be found on this album.
Oh, and the vinyl looks beautiful (aside from that text).
