Poor Stacy

I'm not even watching this and I'm already embarrassed about the twink.

I'm down for her dropping surprise albums on digital as long as she presses them on vinyl later for us.

omg i need to see this

I love hearing her talk about the album, the songs on it, and also that she's already writing NEW MUSIC. I'm happy she hasn't announced an album, though. For once.

oh no... did she cancel?

I get this, too! It's mysterious and expansive like Honeymoon, but also quietly soul-bearing at the same time. I think @Thunder made a post about BB being a mix of Ultraviolence, Honeymoon, and Chemtrails, so this all makes sense to me in my head.

I get that, too, oddly enough. Those two albums feel... heavier than her others? Or have more weight to them? They're also sort of smoky and bluesy. Whisky, fire, contemplation...

The thought of combining Chemtrails and BB makes me cringe. Two completely different experiences and worlds for me.

Love Elton, but he needs to fuck off this week. We'll see how the album does commercially, but I'd probably care more if her team/label didn't screw up the physical release.

I thought everyone loved Cherry Blossom and were dying for it to be on the album, so why's it tanking in the poll? It's one of my top favorites.

Initially, yes, but it grew on me and I love it now. Living Legend is the only song that seems "extra" to me.

Up to 80 on Metacritic!

yes

26 songs within 7 months. We fucking WON!!!

Are y'all serious with Sweet Carolina right now? 1. Text Book 15 2. Blue Banisters 15 3. Arcadia 16 4. The Interlude - The Trio 10 5. Black Bathing Suit 18 6. If You Lie Down With Me 17 7. Beautiful 15 8. Violets for Roses 15 9. Dealer 16 10. Thunder 16 11. Wildflower Wildfire 15 12. Nectar of the Gods 15 13. Living Legend 15 14. Cherry Blossom 15 15. Sweet Carolina 12

So we're not going to acknowledge the excellence of the 1-2 punch that is Cherry Blossom -> Sweet Carolina to finish off the album, are we? Two of my favorites, ends the album on such a gorgeous high.

I just realized Nectar of the Gods is the Not All Who Wander Are Lost of the album.

1. Text Book 15 2. Blue Banisters 15 3. Arcadia 16 4. The Interlude - The Trio 13 (-1) 5. Black Bathing Suit 18 6. If You Lie Down With Me 15 7. Beautiful 15 8. Violets for Roses 14 9. Dealer 15 10. Thunder 16 11. Wildflower Wildfire 15 12. Nectar of the Gods 15 13. Living Legend 14 14. Cherry Blossom 15 (+1) 15. Sweet Carolina 14

Definitely. The sprawling pace of Honeymoon, the bluesy hints of Ultraviolence, and the road trip/family ties of COCC.

I absolutely love this album. That said, Black Bathing Suit and Dealer have me craving her to go fully unhinged Fetch the Bolt Cutters on us with the next album (Rock Candy Sweet her revenge?)...

I just wanna have some words with whoever mixed the vocals (or did the Mastering idk what) on this album bc the clipping on Arcadia, Beautiful, and Sweet Carolina is annoying as fuck and has never been a problem before. This is my only major complaint xoxo.

Dealer is my baby.

The Pitchfork review is actually beautiful. They're stanning.

i check it i wreck it i turn it around
