I absolutely love this whole cd. I've been listening to it nonstop since i purchased it.
Great album, BUT... On the fourth track on side A, there was a bubble in the vinyl that left an indentation in the surface. Pops and crackles galore. Returned and got the CD. Poor quality control.
the cherry on top of a flawless discography that only keeps getting better.
Oh my little emo heart. I really like this album. The only thing I don't care for is the techno aspect of it.
I ordered the vinyl, and when I put it on my record player, it skipped lines every two seconds, for the first two tracks. I love this album. I really do. But the Bloodstream and Circle the Drain had scratches all the way through them.
Easily the best album so far this year. She is raw, honest, emotions laid bare, death. Wise beyond her years. Thank you, Sophie. And I’m an aging post punk goth in my early 50’s.
This is my album of 2020, and at this point, I am confident that honor will hold (apologies to Fiona Apple). Color Theory lives up to the high bar set by Clean, with the debut's grittier guitars exchanged for a sparser sound that also conveys the feeling of what it's like to be a millennial singer-songwriter. "Circle the Drain" conveys 2020 for everyone - we just keep going round and around, round and around, circling that drain - while a lengthier epic like "Yellow Is the Color of Her Eyes" feels like the delayed response to Coldplay's "Yellow" 20 years later.

SWEET VOICE.
A sweet female voice. The songs a bit too similar at times and lacking bite for my taste.
One of The greatest songwriters of of our time

For Sophie Allison (a.k.a. Soccer Mommy) `color theory' is a distillation of hard-won catharsis. The album confronts the ongoing mental health and familial trials that have plagued the 22-year-old artist since pre-pubescence, presenting listeners with an uncompromisingly honest self-portrait and reminding us exactly why her critically acclaimed 2018 debut album, Clean, made her a hero to many.

Soccer Mommy: Color Theory review – grief and depression given glorious voice

(Concord) Sophie Allison’s second album deals with ill-health and despair, but you would hardly know it from the fantastic arrangements and tunes
M any people who have had to contend with depression will recognise little truths leaping out at them from the second album by Sophie Allison , under the nom de plume Soccer Mommy. “There’s someone talking in my forehead that says I’ll never be enough,” she sings on Bloodstream; “I cling to the dark of my room / and the days thin me out / Or just burn me straight through,” offers Circle the Drain; “Sedate me all the time / Don’t leave me with my mind,” she asks on Crawling in My Skin. There’s a universality to much of her writing that belies that fact that she’s singing about specifics: about her own life, and about growing up with a mother with a terminal, long-term illness.
At the same time, though, Color Theory is a glorious record: the lyrics, delivered in a plain uninflected voice by Allison – melodic, but not in the least showy – are paired with tunes and arrangements that leap out. If you were listening to the softer end of US indie in the mid-1990s, you’ll recognise what is going on here. The downward spiral of the guitars on the chorus of Crawling in My Skin is blossomy; the seven-minute centrepiece, Yellow is the Color of Her Eyes, has a recurring motif that sounds almost like the ecstatic churn of a Wurlitzer at some ancient picture palace, even as it is wracked with sadness. That song, explicitly, is about Allison thinking of her mother while out on tour, and again the precision of the language is exemplary. Having introduced the fact that the whites of her mother’s eyes have become yellow, Allison makes them into “eyes like clementines”, an image that seems beautiful, until you realise how unnatural that would be.
Not everything is perfect; the division of the album into three colour phases (identified on the physical package) seems unnecessary – perhaps Allison sees lyrical and musical differences that a more distant listener can’t discern, especially when streaming. But when you hear a song as good as Lucy – about Lucifer, rather than a diss of Lucy Dacus, as has apparently been suggested – you don’t worry about that. Fabulous stuff: Soccer Mommy could go anywhere from here.

Towards the beginning of Soccer Mommy ’s new album, Color Theory , she gives a startling confession: “I am the princess of screwing up.” The singer-songwriter, real name Sophie Allison, is just two years into her twenties, but she sounds as if she’s been navigating early adulthood for decades, wading through the waters of depression and sadness while fighting a few demons along the way. “My world is sinking,” she sings on “Royal Screw Up,” “and I am the captain of it all.”
Some of the album’s tracks share the same titles as songs from the Nineties and early aughts (“Night Swimming,” “Crawling in My Skin”) and it’s hardly unintentional: Allison, who was born in 1997, aimed to make Color Theory sound like her childhood — a time when teens had translucent iMacs and Tamagotchis instead of TikTok. The nostalgia can be felt all over the record, from the glitchy production to its cover, which mocks a cassette cartridge in neon yellow font (the “Batteries Not Included” note only makes it more charming).
The album is divided into three colored sections: blue for sadness, yellow for illness, grey for loss. Happiness is a fleeting emotion — if felt at all — and on “Bloodstream,” she compares it to a flying insect à la Lana Del Rey, only this time it’s a firefly, slipping through her fingers on a warm summer evening. The euphoric, distorted guitar riffs of “Circle the Drain” can be particularly deceiving, as Allison sings about trying to stay strong “for my love, my family and friends/But I’m so tired of faking.” It’s arguably the best track on the album, an anthem for Gen Z melancholy.
“Yellow Is the Color of Her Eyes,” the sparkling, seven-minute centerpiece of the record, shows Allison wrestling with her mother’s battle with cancer. “Loving you isn’t enough,” she sings, her languid vocals delivering each line against somber pedal steel. “You’ll still be deep in the ground when it’s done.” Through her vulnerability, she grapples with loss, realizing that she’ll never come out of it entirely unscathed. On the album’s closer, “Gray Light,” she lays it down: “I can’t lose it/I’m watching my mother drown.”
For Color Theory , Allison recruited producer Gabe Wax, who she previously worked with her breakout 2018 LP Clean ; she also chose to cut the album with her live band, a decision that ultimately blunts the intimate, visceral edge previously felt on Clean. The lead single, “Lucy” is a prime example, as Allison personifies the devil over watered-down hooks and repetitive lyrics. Color Theory could have been a true indie-rock stunner if more of its songs hit with the same individually distinct charge as the ones on her debut. Still, Allison’s nostalgic sadness suggests a bright musical future.
