Foothills
Higher than 10% of albums we've rated

The album features solid pop songwriting and vocal performances but lacks a strong cohesive arc throughout.

What we noticed

  • The album opens with a strong pop track, 'Puppet Man', which sets a mid-tempo pace that is maintained through the first half.
  • The last two tracks slow down the tempo significantly, creating a reflective mood that contrasts with the earlier upbeat songs.

Known within its scene. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
