Hayley Williams “Petals For Armor”
Gotta simmer simmer simmer simmer simmer down after this album for sure. As I’ve said about “Plastika”, using breath as an instrument makes me weak at the knees, which I was so happy to feel in this album, especially in beginning tracks like Simmer and Creepin’.
The lyrics ride the music so beautifully, creating the feeling that no other words could be accompanied by these sounds. The subject of the album was also mesmerizing to me - so intimate and raw, reminding me of past places, current states, and perhaps future happenings.
The journey from anger, frustration, and depression in the first half to kathartic and relieving experiences in the second, with glimpses of light throughout (like Cinnamon, which is the 3rd song), was soooooo satisfying to me.
Beautiful beautiful beautiful play on words in Roses/Lotus/Violet/Iris and Sugar On The Rim, I always love to see metaphors fitting together like legos.

However, I do skip some songs on this one.
