    A great album by a great band. I've only started listening to them recently and I'm very sorry I didn't do it earlier - very underrated.
    The album is very cohesive, the production is really good. the writing is super creative and addicting.
    Favorite Tracks: Los Angeles, Leaning On You, I've Been Down. Gasoline, FUBT, Now I'm In It.

Women In Music Pt. III da uma aula de ótimas composições, belos vocais e usando (principalmente) apenas instrumentos acústicos de uma maneira única e interessante. Eu gostaria que o álbum terminasse de uma forma mais satisfatória, talvez as três 'faixas bônus' sejam as músicas de encerramento, mas acho que não. Mas, apesar disso, este álbum serve em cada faixa, e facilmente poderia ter levado o AOTY.… Expand

    It's actually amazing how good this album is. The lyrics are quite normal but still shiny and exceptional somehow, very well executed in vocals. The production is diverse and hallucinating, plus, the aesthetic of the album is interesting. Their best album so far.

Dificil explicar a grandiosidade desse álbum, desde a riqueza dos instrumentos, a arquitetura das letras e da composição e os vocais alternando entre as Haim, "Women in the music, pt. III" mostra um conceito próprio, autoexplicativo e rico dentro de seu próprio universo. Desde faixas belíssimas e mais introspectivas como "Man from the magazine" até faixas despojadas como "The steps", as Haim deixam evidente o caminho para uma aclamação: autenticidade, inovação, riqueza de detalhes e belas composições. Não é preciso conhecer as Haim para saber como elas são, esse álbum é tão autentico e pessoal que deixa claro a idêntidade das jovens, basta escutar as seis primeiras faixas para entender as suas emoções através das batidas na bateria e no envolvimento entre as três entre as faixas. Com o lançamento da "versão extendida" ficou o questionamento sobre o que mais esse álbum poderia mostrar, qual foi a resposta? A linda parceria entre as Haim, Taylor Swift e uma parceria com Thundercat, faixas ricas como "Now I'm in it" e "Summer Girl" (que encerra o álbum com a mesma delicadeza que iniciou, com uma boa diversidade de instrumentos e uma composição incrível). Esse álbum atingiu um patamar que vai servir de inspiração para futuros jovens na música, retomando a um momento em que a música valorizava o encanto dos instrumentos e de letras fortes, as Haim mostraram o seu poder e chegaram em um nível que certamente vai seguir alto por muito tempo. Com belos vocais e uma sonoridade que nos tranquiliza, "Women in the music, pt. III" é certamente um dos melhores álbuns de 2020.

    This album feels so classic. It has this maturity that doesn't sacrifice it's youthful airyness. It's their most streamlined project that seems to be created in a separate time.

It has a feminist theme that it doesn't force down your throat. They borrowed from their idols without losing their own idiosyncrasies. The momentum in the album is disrupted by the small experiments that do add to it's personality such as the sigh in 3am or the being of gasoline. All in all it is a great album that will be earmarked for years. Favorite:i know alone,the steps,man from the magazine… Expand

    The sisters voices are OK but nothing special. They cant sing harmony, but rather sing everything in the same too modest and girlie octave and range. There are some decent and consistent sounding songs, but also too many songs are fractured and artificially frabicated or plain boring. I also miss emotion.

    Sin duda alguna las hermanas HAIM hicieron su mejor trabajo, el cuál está lleno de empoderamiento, experiencias amorosas, historias personales y energía. Además de ser un trabajo muy experimental, todo suena muy cohesivo y cada cosa está puesta en su lugar, es muy suave, orgánico y muy bueno para un año en el que la mayoría del tiempo se debe estar en el hogar.

    There are traces of Vampire Weekend all around this which is understandable and obvious when you realise that Rostam Batmanglij had an integral part in the creation of the album, not to mention the influence of Ariel Rechtshaid.

Technically, this is an precision engineered record in terms of both writing and production. The songs are good and full of melody but such is the level of studio polish layered on the base materials, the "feel" of the song is hard to pick up. This is a sentence I could easily use when talking about Vampire Weekend as well. Album number 3 is a step up from their underwhelming and as it turned out difficult second album "Something to Tell You" but lacks the buzz that came with their debut. "WIMPIII" has a lot going for it but has a protective layer of production plastic that makes it hard to absorb the record. I preferred the Phoebe Bridgers "Punisher" record which is similar in ways but has a bit more feel to it.… Expand

    HAIM's third studio LP, "Women In Music Pt. III" is electrifying! The unique sound, including the rockstar vocals, the brilliant songwriting, the impeccable production, and the catchy rhythms, forms it into one of the best albums of the year.

Women In Music Pt. III is a masterclass in great songwriting, beautiful vocals, and using (mostly) just acoustic instruments in a unique and interesting way. This is showcased right from the start with the track Los Angeles, a song about wanting to leave your hometown but being scared to. Even though I haven't stepped foot on the continent - the lyricism and homely vibe transports you to the Californian city. The Steps also features some damn good songwriting, and is catchy, cathartic and just... great. I Know Alone has this driving instrumental that reflects well the lyrical ideas of insomnia and depression. My one negative comment on this track is that I was the 'now Sunday comes and they expect her to shine' refrain should be clearer to hear as I think it's a bit too muffled. Up From A Dream has a sick bass-line and Gasoline is quite a funky number - and is sexy in a "sophisticated" or restrained way - both are very enjoyable. Sadly I'm not crazy about 3am; the track fits the vibe of the album but I think the writing could have been more imaginative and I don't like the 'phone call skit' intro -> chorus transition. One of my favourite tracks is the next one, Don't Wanna. I love the guitar solo and the lyrics, again, are pretty good. However I wish they switched the lyrics up for the outro/last chorus because it did get slightly repetitive (I don't mind it too much though). Another Try has a nice trumpet outro, not got much to say about it. Leaning On You has more amazing songwriting, and some especially good singing on this one as well. With the track I've Been Down, I'm in love with the flow in the singing - how it feels like a cathartic stream of consciousness coming at you. It'd probably be my favourite song here but the bridge lets it down a bit. Man From The Magazine is too stripped back for my personal taste but I love the message here, about their experiences with sexism being female musicians. The penultimate track, All That Ever Mattered, is perfection. The distorted screaming, soaring guitar, almost desperate singing all goes so well I love it. And finally we end with FUBT, which in itself is a masterclass in songwriting. It's about being in an abusive relationship - and it's so well written that you feel exactly what it's like. The track ends with a short but sweet guitar solo, but I wish the album ended in a more satisfying way. Maybe the three 'bonus tracks' are meant to be the closing songs but I don't think so. But despite that, this album is serve after serve after serve and it'll be a strong AOTY contender (this better get a grammy nom or something).… Expand

    Overall, WIMPEE is an easy album to love, which, more than anything else, shows the trio's natural chemistry as musicians. ... Having chosen to maintain an upbeat, positive outlook to outweigh all the despair does big favors to the band—featuring a sparkling production that fits many, many moods—though it makes one wonder what could've been had they let us in just a little bit more.
