This is yet another different direction for her. Very Patti Smith. Can't wait for the whole thing!

Was it the stereogum review? I read that today, and his whole point is that it's shortcoming is that Polly wrote this one as a "poverty tourist," that because she didn't get out of the car and interact with people her outlook is somehow disconnected. I suppose he could be right, but the notion that someone has to roll around in mud just to write a song about mud doesn't carry any weight with me.

Really liked her new single community of hope but a lot of hardcore fans saying this record is terrible. She was always able to walk on water and above criticism. Not on this one it Seems

Has anybody listened to this yet?

It's out tomorrow, or maybe late tonight depending on your time zone.

I just downloaded it, I'm enjoying it a lot so far.

Yeah, that was the one.

I see that it is available on Apple Music. Might take it for a spin.

tragabigzanda · **Posted:** Fri April 15, 2016 3:27 am

Amazon is $2 cheaper, so I'll hold out until tomorrow.

This is pretty alright.

It's a nice album. I think that the singles are probably the strongest tracks here (I really love the Community of Hope) but other songs might grow on me.

tragabigzanda · **Posted:** Fri April 15, 2016 7:45 pm

This record is free for Prime subscribers!

chewm · **Posted:** Sat April 16, 2016 3:57 am

Listening to it.
The community of Hope has to be easily my favorite song of the year so far.
