Cosmonauts might be my early fave with this album, though I struggle to get the title track out of my head. Relay gets really caught in there as well. I expect these ideas to change several times as I keep listening. This album is loaded.

My son has disappeared into video game land during this lockdown, but my 2 daughters (5 & 10) have made "Ladies" the theme song to this episode in our lives.
Gave this my second listen yesterday and then immediately put on Idler Wheel afterward. Pearl Jam's the only artist I'm ever really interested in splitting hairs about album or song quality, but I think Idler Wheel is the bigger deconstructive/sonically challenging statement.
Said differently, FTBC feels like a logical extension of Idler Wheel, where she's taken a lot of the percussive elements she was working with on Idler Wheel and really foregrounded them on the new record.

This is really good. I was a little disappointed in Idler Wheel. This feels like it is musically in a similar place but has more of the sensibility of Extraordinary Machines (he says after two listens)
