i was wondering why the lyrics in some of the songs off laurel hell feel so much weaker than they do on previous albums, as well as on the land is inhospitable, and i checked and i was right . its bc other people were writing some of the songs w her and it made the music sound so much less unique and intense...ive talked abt my feelings on laurel hell before tho. and i do love most of the tracks on it . the land is inhospitable just feels so authentic and real and theres a lot more callbacks to previous topics in her older albums, plus you can tell she wrote the songs herself
