I listened to Lady Lamb for the first time in 2011 when she opened for Beirut (see Lady Lamb the Beekeeper - Rams Head Live!); at the time she was known as Lady Lamb the Beekeeper.

The album has 20 scrobbles in 2015, 1 in 2016, and 9 in 2019. 9 of the 30 scrobbles are for "Crane Your Neck," which was part of my Top 58 but not my Top 26 in 2014 (see My Top 32 Songs (2015 Edition)).

First listen.
Strong end ("Bird Balloons")
After listening to the album, I quickly skimmed through the album again. During this time I move "Florence Berlin" from a "0" to a "1," "Bird Balloons" from a "1" to a "2," and "Rooftop" form a "0" to a "1."

4: "Crane Your Neck";
3: "Regarding Ascending the Stairs";
2: "Hair to the Ferris Wheel"; "Aubergine"; "Bird Balloons"; "The Nothing Part II";
1: "Florence Berlin"; "Rooftop";
0: "You Are the Apple"; "Mezzanine"; "Little Brother"; "Taxidermist Taxidermist";

Summary:
I absolutely loved Lady's Lamb voice when I first heard her perform and I think I've had this staying bias towards her music ever since. Having expressed that bias, I would say this album is excellent and deserves a high rating - like a 5.2. However, some recent ratings suddenly feel off as a result.

Overall Rating: 5.2/5
Favorite Song: "Crane Your Neck"
