I really like this album. I'm glad she killed "Cry Baby" as the whole "some people never leave the playground, eh?" thing had been worn to a stub and it was time to see what else she had to offer. On two listens, I'm keen - it's not THAT experimental and, despite the artwork, she's not in Bjork territory. It's melodic and soaring. Fans of "When We All..." era Eilish will likely have their ear snagged.

#2! I didn't realise she was that popular in the UK. Moopy clearly doesn't give a shit, mind you.
