“wit and warmth define her best album yet”
“mordant, melodic melancholy from the best songwriter of her generation”
“Mitski's latest finds liberation in loss, solitude, and the company of cats”
“Mitski's eighth album is a conceptually rich and sonically gorgeous record about retreat and self-surveillance, beautiful in its restraint even when you wish it would let the floorboards give way.”
“Mitski Miyawaki has, quite famously, struggled with fame. The entitled, incessant demands that can come with being an artist in the public eye led her to taking a hiatus in 2019, when she even considered quitting music altogether. However, she returned with not one but two albums, 2022's Laurel Hell and 2023's The Land is Inhospitable and So Are We, and even released a concert film chronicling the”
“Mitski’s homebound eighth album is both theatrical and restrained, responding to her newfound visibility with sober reflections on loneliness and delusion.”
“Reviewing 2026 projects: Project: #011 Title: Nothing's About to Happen To Me Artist: Mitski Tagline: Mitski's chaotic mindset and overthinking is covered by the lush front that Mitski puts on musically. This isn't really my kind of music but I thoroughly enjoyed the project, with it representing a chaotic mindset, and a musical representation of overthinking, with some really relaxing content too. This project centring Mitski's mindscape and a very one sided conversation to another someone. The project itself doesn't feel like it is for everyone, but for the select amount of people it's for, it's a great project. In a Lake is an interesting start to the project, starting off with something so unusual for an intro track, though it is done pretty well I guess, quite a chill track, and Mitski's vocals are quite comforting. The beat drop is amazing as well. Track felt like a "calm before the storm" moment as soon as Where's My Phone?'s chaotic energy hits. Where's My Phone? felt quite underwhelming however, outro is great. Cats is a relaxing cover-up to a chaotic mind-scape, and I love that. The track itself is quite relaxing and a very easy listen for anyone as a matter of fact. If I Leave is similar to Cats, however just more a bit more chaotic and messy. Instead of Here and I'll Change for You feel like Mitski is plotting but vaulting a huge, desperate vent to the other someone that is on the side of the album. Charon's Obol feels more like a healing mentality than anything we've seen on the project so far, the background vocals are amazing. Lightning feels cyclical almost, almost perfectly mirroring In a Lake (album opener). The main progression though throughout the album is the large, healing wound. FAVOURITES: I'll Change For You, Instead of Here LEAST FAVOURITES: Where's My Phone? Simplified rating: 7/10”
“wow this is so disappointing favorite songs- where’s my phone? dead woman. charons obol.”
“I know the only way I’ll like this is if I force myself to Typical Mitski album”
“Top 3: Lighting, i’ll change for you, if i leave”
