    i remember that in the pre-release thread someone said something like ''wait until 2 weeks after the album release and then all the praise will be gone ''. and holy shit was that person right. and btw, whoever is saying she didn't do anything new in Ocean Blvd is either lying or tone-deaf. 

    It's been like that since nfr tbh.

    I take it like she’s thinking about who will be with her when she’s dying while she’s hanging out with him. And then she looks over and he’s doing something goofy so it’s a funny line. 

    Knowing that she's engaged to a different guy I thought of it as a more negative line. Him? Is this really who I want to marry and die with?

    I thought it would be interesting to compare my ranking (which hasn’t really changed much since I originally posted it) and overlay a new piece of information on it to highlight a worthwhile point: rankings seem a bit cruel when I find most of the album incredibly compelling, so I thought I’d break it down into new categories:

     

    A. Songs I Intentionally Play

    B. Songs I Leave On if They Play on Shuffle

    C. Songs I Skip

     

    I left most my original numerical rankings for reference, but overall it was eye opening to see how the order shifted when I categorized the songs this way. 

    ———————————————

    My list:

    1. Kintsugi

    2. Candy Necklace

    3. Tunnel

    4. Fingertips

    5. The Grants

    6. Let The Light In

    7. Margaret

    8. Fishtail

    9. Peppers

    10. Sweet

    13. Grandfather

    14a. Taco Truck

     

    11a. A&W

    12. Paris, Texas

    15. Judah Smith Interlude

    16. Jon Batiste Interlude


    11b. Jimmy Coco Puff - the excitement of having a beat-heavy part 2 kinda wore off for me on this part, but I’m sure if it plays in the club I’ll twerk to it :ma:

    14b. x VB - still trying to feel this one out but still not crazy about it as I am with the NFR version

    Disagree but I like this methodology

    The Grants - an intro song that overstayed its welcome SKIP

    DYK - pretty good and love the optimistic tone of the second half

    Sweet - im not a lyrics guy and she doesn't say anything interesting or new here. boring songwriting too SKIP

    AW - first half > second half but still one of the better songs of the album

    Both interludes are skips obviously
    Candy Necklace - i love the snippet she shared and that is still the best part of the song. i was iffy on it but it grew on me. not the best tho

    Kintsugi - I get this one confused with sweet cause it's forgettable. I also get Shrek - Hallelujah vibes from it. I do have to say I enjoy the lines about folk songs and her blood relatives. Among her most controversial ideas put to music. SKIP

    Fingertips - Love this one. I love the gentle up and down wave ascending and descending spiral staircase melody and rhythm. It seems to me that Fingertips started out like a Violet track but ending up being songified more. The sparkle censor kinda ruins it cause it takes me out of the song, ready to pay attention, but i'll tolerate.

    Paris, Texas - Enjoyable but not among the best so I flip flop between listening or skipping. MAYBE SKIP

    Grandfather - pretty 90s sounding. among the top songs of the album but it leaves me wanting more

    LTLI - makes me think of todd rundgren and i love it

    Margaret - broken social scene/feist house of strombo lover's spit intimate basement performance. love this one too. on a side note, i wouldn't mind if she took some inspo from them for her next album

    fishtail - someone here said it's reminiscent of kiss it better and i do like kiss it better but i just don't care for this one. it's not an awful song, it's just forgettable. SKIP

    Peppers - love this one but I wish she had sampled a bit more from Angelina and didn't muffle tommy's voice. Also the talk-singing is really just a vehicle to bring you to hands on your knees. In the album, it's among the better songs, but in her discography it doesn't rate very high.

    Taco Truck - caribbean blue in sweater weather i love that specific part because it reminds me of her earlier days. the x VB part ruins it obviously because Venice Bitch is extremely overrated and generic hip hop beats isn't a cool and interesting addition. neither is get high, lake placid. Like peppers, in the album it's better but in her discography it's not so high.

     

    9/16 songs to listen to. 56%. A failing grade.

    Not a fan of Sweet. I hope it will grow on me but we will see. I love the different woman / basic bitch lyric but the melody of the entire song is just meh. Don't arrest me please. Still got 7 more songs to listen to, wanted to wait till I could get stoned lmao

    Sweet is the beautiful of the album. The blatant filler track. But beautiful >>>>>>>>>>>>≥>>>>>>>>>>
