The Weight of These Wings
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.
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.”

When first single "Vice" was released, I hoped that The Weight of These Wings would be Miranda Lambert's Blood on the Tracks.
So, critics who had their knives sharpened and ready to feast on the flesh of Miranda Lambert’s latest set, should be forewarned: Lambert has done the unthinkable and created a 24-song release that pleases more than it disappoints, that surprises from end to end and actually leaves you craving just one more song.
