It\'s tempting to view *The Weight of These Wings* as Lambert\'s \"divorce album\" following her split from Blake Shelton, and songs like the acoustic, regret-laden \"Pushin\' Time\" certainly lend credence to that notion. But this ambitious, double-length LP illustrates the full range of her talents. A roadhouse-rockin\' cover of Danny O\'Keefe\'s 1971 tune \"Covered Wagon,\" the throbbing indie-pop beat of \"Six Degrees of Separation,\" and the funky slow-burn of \"Pink Sunglasses\" only hint at the wide terrain traversed here.

7.8 / 10

Miranda Lambert’s double album arrives in the wake of her high-profile divorce from Blake Shelton, but it is refreshingly devoid of spite or anger—more “Shelter From the Storm” than “Idiot Wind.”

Our take on country star's 24-song opus.
