    its important not to be controlled by hype. Im not sure what kind of hype machine brainwashes people into thinking albums like this are good, it is not good. It's boring Joni Mitchell esque bland singer songwriter stuff. I have heard worse albums, but there is no way this record deserves the praise it is getting. Keep on searching for real music, with real melodies and songs that actuallyits important not to be controlled by hype.

    In emotional terms Titanic Rising is immense – names like Annette Peacock, Linda Perhacs and Judee Sill come to mind, but only because it feels like so long since you’ve heard pop this epic yet unmannered. ... With tracks like the stunning “Something To Believe” lodging themselves into your heart with the sure knowledge that your relationship with this music will only deepen as the year unfolds.

    Titanic Rising is even more accomplished than putting Mering’s state of grace to music; with her 70s-inflected approach to songwriting, she succeeds in nothing less than recalibrating time.

    A strong contender for album of the year. ... Titanic Rising is remarkable for its breadth, effortlessly shifting from the 90-second ambient wash of the title track to Picture Me Better’s homespun take on the cosmic cowboyisms of Kacey Musgraves. Then there are Merings’ lyrics, evincing a similar shift in scale and scope.
