Impossible, North, Bags, Closer, and Sofia make this at least a 75/100 so I'll go 80/100 just to spite the anti-pop boomer elitists on this site. Feel Something, I Wouldn't Ask You, and Alewife are great as well. Clairo haters get rekt. This is a best in class record I don't care about her Dad she wrote the music and the music is good end of discussion.

I know this isn't bestpopalbums.com but some reactions to really good records are very discouraging and make me think I'm missing a lot of good music just nominally looking at the ratings here.

There was some mild controversy going into this release, I guess, but ultimately the only thing striking while listening to it was the general indifference of nearly everything here. There was some buzz about bringing Rostam into the mix, but all that seemed to aid the production was with hammering the sound completely flat, as it all just sort of lazily mix-n'matches VHI-style AdultContemporary balladry with indie rock and electropop and even some light R&B with rarely any noticeable difference in sound or movement whatsoever. Every progression seems to flow horizonantly without ever really rising, scattering or peaking. Yes, I understand I'm well past the age where her songs and their lyrics could've felt more impactful and she seems like a perfectly nice person whose gotten some undeserved hate revolving around the usual modern questions of internet-bred-artist's authenticity, but this really just shows off the kind of modern bastardization/algorithm way of producing music that has really wallpaper'd so-called "genre-mixing" into lightweight, comforting, vanilla blandness. Nothing unlistenable here, and "Bags" is indeed a nice track, but Immunity is pretty much an in-one-ear, out-the-other release that leaves little impression either way. Not saying she doesn't have potential (especially if she can find a way to inject some semblance of spark or spotenaity into her songs), but so far the musical hype feels as questionable as the personal backlash.
