The weight of these wings

"She channels whatever sorrow she has into a moody, muddy production that has more in common with the impressionistic smears of Daniel Lanois than whatever sounds were emanating from Nashville in 2016 ... By radically shifting her sound, she winds up focusing attention on her songwriting and musicality: it may have mainstream songs, but The Weight of These Wings isn't produced like a country-pop album, so it demands attention and rewards close listening".

"Although it arrives in the wake of her high-profile divorce from Blake Shelton, The Weight of These Wings is a breakup album refreshingly devoid of spite or anger. Instead, it's a thoughtful concept record, more focused on moving on and growing up than lashing out or telling all. Throughout its twenty-four songs, Lambert analyzes herself and her choices ...".

"Lambert skriver hjerteknuste sange uden at ynke sig selv. Hun synger om at være på vej videre, på vej væk, og imens drejer hun sine sange ud af den poppede countrylyd af 2016. For at give dem en råt rockende legering eller detaljerig støjtekstur og dybde i stil med den, Daniel Lanois gav Emmylou harris for godt tyve år siden på "Wrecking Ball" ... Mens [hendes eks-mand Blake Shelton] holder fast i drengerøvens livsstil, vinker Miranda Lambert farvel til middelmådigheden med årets bedste og mest besættende countryalbum".
