Jun 18, 2016This is an excellent album. Mitski's lyrics are sharp and insightful, and every track is unique and extremely enjoyable. I'm having a hard time thinking of anything I actually dislike about this album.

Nov 1, 2016This record feels so human and has this sutile touch of anxiety that keeps the ear in the edge of glory and actually can reach your mind. It's so relatable and so catchy even thought it can be seen minimalist at some times. She's a lyric machine and a truth speaker and singer. Can't wait for more of her work.

Sep 1, 2016Mitski showcases talent and ambition for sure, but most of the songs in here just feel too direct in their influences, and she's not exactly the most fiver vocalist either. I see a future for her, if she continues to go down the path she started here, but for now I'll just keep enjoying this album mildly as I've been in the past few months.

Sep 19, 2016Her voice is so off-putting. Almost atonal. The music is boring, paint-by-numbers indie rock that many have done before and done better. The lyrics are confessional, insular, and childish. There is an entire world out there, Mitski, not just the one in your head. Experience it and stop gazing at the reflection of your own navel.

Jun 20, 2016Obviously talent is here. But there is something to be hated. Forced emotions and anthem hooks meant to take hold of the radio listeners mind. The problem is with this is that it doesn't make sense. The emotions arn't there lyrically. It's just a tune with too much emphasis in the wrong places. Instruments too. This is a team of people making a music factory. Another one. We have enough.

Jul 4, 2016the best songs of intimacy in 2016. highly recommended for the real music listeners. "once more to see you" and especially "i bet on losing dogs" are deep songs that break your heart..

Nov 24, 2021visceral work that shares the immediacy of classic punk and confessional singer/songwriter fare at once, Puberty 2 takes listeners behind closed doors with the kind of no-holds-barred lyrics that are likely to leave a lasting impression.

Jan 1, 2023Beautiful… amazing… work. I am in love with every song on this album, the lyrics are so meaningful - and the instrumentals give me goosebumps every time. Arguably, no - THE best Mitski album.

Jul 6, 2016Mitski’s boldness is hugely impressive, and couple that with the fact the record is so expertly mixed and edited, she has produced one of the year’s more complete LPs.
