MusicCritics (472 KP) rated Younger Now by Miley Cyrus in Music

Oct 11, 2017

The songs are deliberately low-affect, if short on personality compared to her other albums. But the attention-getter is the finale "Inspired," where she writes a folksy country ballad to express some of her fears about climate change

Critic- Rob Sheffield
Original Score: 3.5 out of 5

"Read this memoir for a glimpse of a vanished country (ours, circa 1940s/1950s/1960s) that had an entirely different notion of education and the arts, i.e., a country that valued them and honored them and supported them with money and muscular institutions, which institutions, in turn, produced courageous and original national artists like Glass – who is also, turns out, a wonderfully gifted, honest, and amiable writer."

Ross (3284 KP) rated I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight by Richard & Linda Thompson in Music

May 4, 2020 (Updated Apr 8, 2021)

Rolling Stone's 471st greatest album of all time (485th in the 2020 list)

It's hard to say whether I dislike country or folk more. This was less horrid than some of the country I have had to listen to, but still not enjoyable. Quite slow and dirgey at times, while there a couple of memorable songs, the final stages is very slow and not enjoyable.
