I reviewed the new Waxahatchee album over at Americana UK recently, and started a bit of a Twitter storm.

- I gave the album a score of 6, if you go by the Pitchfork rating system this means: "Has its moments, but isn't strong" , negative would have been 4 or below and it wasn't that bad...
- It wasn't me who made the comparison to Car Wheels on a Gravel Road, Crutchfield set herself up for that one. It would have been easy to rip her to shreds for it, I chose not to take the cheap shot. That would have been negative.
- I simply wasn't hearing what other reviewers were hearing. I don't think it's very good and can't see myself listening to it again, ever.
- That makes my suggestion that it doesn't in my opinion match up to Car Wheels... valid. I have played that album regularly since it came out and don't expect to stop now.
