“It is, though, Lambert’s least exuberant album, and also her best—one of the year’s best, in fact.”<br />
– <em><strong>The New Yorker</strong></em></p>
<p>“If ever there was any question, this multifaceted and distinctly modern work ought to lay it to rest: Lambert is the most fascinating and unfettered singer-songwriter of her country generation.”<br />
– <em><strong>NPR</strong></em></p>
<p>“On her 24-track double album, the new country generation&#8217;s leading outlaw balances humor, regret, love and anger in the brutally blunt way that only she can.”<br />
– <em><strong>Rolling Stone</strong></em></p>
<p>“…her piercing voice breaks in just the right places when her mood grows downcast, and explodes into colorful curlicues when she&#8217;s enthused, or peeved.”<br />
– <em><strong>The New York Times</strong></em></p>
<p>“…marvelous 24-track masterwork.”<br />
– <em><strong>Us Weekly</strong></em></p>
<p>“ ‘The Weight of These Wings’ matches the take-no-prisoners attitude of her lyrics with music that travels unexpected routes but often winds up touching the soul.”<br />
– <em><strong>The Boston Globe</strong></em></p>
<p>“Across 24 contemplative songs, Lambert aches without wallowing. She daydreams without self-delusion. And that brilliant twang in her voice sounds more anchored, more experienced.<br />
If sorrow can congeal into wisdom, this is what it sounds like.”<br />
– <em><strong>The Washington Post</strong></em></p>
