General Album Comments

mcflubbin: Best song on Be The Cowboy is 'A Pearl', because Mitski looked me dead in the eye while she was singing it when I saw her in concert

jk it's 'Me and My Husband'

FoolFantastic: Mitski albums tend to be uneven (outside her most recent which I love beginning to end); the strong stuff here is fantastic, but half of it is whatever. It still works more than it doesn't due to the short length of everything. Her songs are always straight to the point.

Sheep007: This is a weird album which I think starts off fine, but really comes into its own by the end. The best songs dont start hitting til Me and My Husband, and theyre almost all very short, with only two longer than 3 minutes. It feels pacy as a result, and coupled with Mitskis lyrics being very sharp, the album feels snappy and as though its over very quickly.

Im not sure its my favourite album by her (Bury Me At Makeout Creek and Puberty 2 are both phenomenal, and I think theres more songs I love on them), but it has a lot of variety as well as having a little more mainstream appeal. It feels like pop-rock, definitely poppier than her earlier music, but I always enjoy artists who I cant pin down to one genre.

Seanchan: I have no strong feelings on this album, I guess I kind of liked it? It really made me want to listen to that Japanese Breakfast album again (which I did and enjoyed more than this). Nothing super memorable outside of Nobody. I'm not a fan of long albums, but on the other side, 14 songs in 32 minutes is kind of whiplash.

HBJDubs: Great opener, very good songs at the end, and then the middle is just kind of meh.

MaxGalactica: Tbh, Geyser and Nobody were the only songs to really stand out to me on this one. The rest just kind of existed. Similar to last week's album, but marginally better because of the two aforementioned tracks.

ChichiriMuyo: So this was an album, and some decisions were made. There were hints of things I like, but oh man... If I'm listening to this album as a whole, I kinda feel like I should call the cops to do a welfare check on the person who wrote these songs... This is worse than sad girl break up songs when you think about her saying she wants this person, but not for them to touch her, she's staying with her husband, she's desperate to be touched, desperate to be kissed... like, seriously, wtf?
