Ever since that big batch of leaks I've been back into hardcore BANKS stanning mode. What About Love has been hitting me so hard, and III has been on repeat since last week. It's truly her finest work, and I'm realizing that it's honestly one of my top favorite albums of all time, up there with Ultraviolence and evermore. Serpentina really tainted my love for BANKS and I'm so grateful for those leaks as they helped guide me back to her. I mean, I've loved her ever since seeing her open on the Kiss Land tour when she only had 6 songs. I shouldn't let one bad album ruin everything. 

gloomy and water are on my favs as well, but i also really loved shadow.

here is my serpentina track by track.... roast me banksters

misunderstood - this is what a banks intro is, screetchy noisy and loud.. the flavorrrrr

meteorite - it's a bop, kinda campy. i love fun banks songs, also when she only makes yeahyeahyeahs or just screams, not a dud.

fuck love - i forgot this one is the 3rd song. first dud. worst banks song ever, it is so cheap, she should have kept this in her drafts.

deadend - this is the worst ballad of serpentina. it is boring and lifeless. it could fit into the folder of "goddess era scraps"

holding back - i dont give a fuck about chipmunk voice, it is still better than fuck love. i love fun banks songs.

the devil - this one's interesting. not a bad one. it's good. again it was a new route for her and it was the introduction of this era... at least it has a vibe.

skinnydipped - this was a grower, it took me some time to get used to it. it has some cheapness... sorry skinnydippers

burn - top 3 of serpentina HANDS DOWNNN... This is OG BANKS, with the piano, lyrics, vocals.... it is SHOCKING to me how she managed to put this one next to other trash songs into serpentina.

birds by the sea - another classic banks... love this one too. love love this one.

spirit - THE DUD. THE DUD. THE DUD.

anything 4 u - if serpentina was a good album this one could be a nice filler. however, serpentina is a mid album so she had no way of putting a filler, but here we are. boring

unleaveable - i feel like she tried to push her pen into this to make it fit into her writing style but some lyrics make me skip the song. it is ok but i don't care about this one at all.

i still love you - 10/10

birds by the sea is one of her best ballads EVER only thing i dislike is the length… we needed it to be 4 minutes long

Very honest review, and while I also like Deadend and Holding Back (I wish there was a non-chipmunk version), it's pretty much how I've felt about this album since release. It's grown on me lately but it has taken its sweet time.

omgg bitch she's boldddddd

probably it's only like mixing differences or something subtle, not quite noticeable. i had to check i was listening to the demo and not the released version lol

i think audiolust said it is from serpentina, that's why i put it there

I know there's differing lyrics in Industry V1 probably V2 too and The Fall demos so I'll work on those tomorrow or something unless someone else wants to. I need to go back and make edits to the ones I already posted but thank you everyone who's been helping pointing out what I'm mishearing because it's hard to know with a lot of these lol

I wasn't sure, thanks. I was hearing gold but couldn't tell if it was gold or good but i'm glad we now have her tweet verifying lol
