What am I missing here? Ys is probably my favourite album but

I think it combines the intimacy of The Milk Eyed Mender with the complex structures of Ys to create a moving album.

I have literally just finished listening to it for the first time. Loved it. It can be more daunting than her previous works, but you can't say it's shallow

It's more conventional, restrained and personal which is probably what you're picking up on, but I wouldn't call that "shallow". I don't know what to say other than just spend more time with the songs. As much as I love and admire Ys, parts of it just feel like Joanna showing off (which isn't a huge criticism, the fact that she can even "show off" through songwriting shows how adept she is at it) while everything on Have One On Me is purposed and dripping with sincerity.

At the risk of sounding like some corny tumblr post, Ys wows me with its grandeur, HOOM devastates me with its heart.

I find the highs on have one on me to just be higher than those on Ys. Songs like Baby Birch, In california and Kingfisher blow me away every time. Although some of the songs are definitely slower, such as you and me bess and most of disc 3, these grew on me alot, when they did I think that was when I started liking HOOM more than Ys.

What were your favorite songs from the album OP?

It's definitely not shallow. I think >74904710 and >74905114 make some good points. Ys is a masterpiece but I prefer HOOM and Divers. Each album is better than the last in my opinion.
