Poor Stacy Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 Her Pitchfork scores really aren't that bad, all things considered. Especially when you consider how biased critics were against her in the earlier years of her career. I think they lowballed Chemtrails a bit, though. 4

Jeanne Dielman Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 Reveal hidden contents I'm so confused about poor Kintsugi. The lyrics that Kintsugi teased are some of her greatest ever. BOZ and 111 called it a "snooze"/"boring" despite the lyrical content, yet Kintsugi and Brightsun picked it as their favourite track, and both floridakilos and Rosemead praised it too. The Kintsugi-Fingertips section will be very divisive (Fingertips already is on these boards, but it's funny how that track is supposedly far less melodic than Kintsugi, yet BOZ and 111 prefer it, lol! There truly will be something for everyone on this album; the rankings will be all over the place and I'm here for it!). Anyway, I haven't listened to The Grants yet, but I assume that the (extended) intro will put several casual listeners off, right? It sounds like an unconventional single choice, but releasing a "bop" as a single wouldn't make sense thematically. I think that they will push/promote another - more accessible - track on release day like they did with If You Lie Down With Me for Blue Banisters. 9

They haven been so fucking obnoxious towards certain artists and extremely pretentious. I'm glad they are trying to redeem themselves a bit and recognize that they have been wrong in the past. They may as well rescore UV and rightfully crown it as her magnum opus while they are at it. 6
GeminiLanaFan Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 Some of you might put too much emphasis on the opener and the closer that should not be spoiled for a transcending experience Ok, A soaring closer is nice to have as a last surprise to an incredible album, but if I heard it before release, I won’t die. anyways, I do see my first listen of an album just like losing your virginity or a first time with a new partner : the first time often ain’t the most memorable, but after a couple of times, it’s when it gets better. 2
mssainttropez Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 I honestly don’t know if the surprise is today. It would make sense that we would assume it is, so BOZ deactivated his account to not face backlash. Obviously, there are other reasons why BOZ might have left, it’s just an idea. 2 ⊹˚⋆ ???????? ??????? ‧₊°

Listened to it when the few untagged songs leaked and was like ehhhh uhh no thank you. Loved Sweet immediately. Cried at fingertips and became obsessed the second time I listened. Didn't listen to the Grants again till yall figured out it was new single, and then I loved it and think it's beautiful. But the intro still throws me off. I may be allergic to gospel, but it's just like, not really fitting for the rest of the song to me and I wish it started with instrumental or Lana, still love the song Expand Reveal hidden contents I had the same experience omg Sweet is an instant clicker there is nothing to dislike about it. Fingertips takes at least two listens and to have a page with the lyrics next to you (ESPECIALLY if english is not ur first language and struggle to understand some words at first like me). when I listened to The Grants I had my expectations way too high from BOZ and Kintsugi comments so I kind of hated it… but as you I just listened to it when they announced it as a single and… the vocals are impressive and resemble songs like Terrence, the chorus girls served as usual and the instrumental is so gorgeous and fills the lyrics so well… the only problem I could recognize is the intro but I guess you can just get used to it, especially when the full thing comes out 2 and also for giving me Margaret
lizzyschemtrails Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 Reveal hidden contents I think I'm definitely in the minority for saying TG>OB. OB is such a beautiful song but I don't find myself re-listening to it as much as I do A&W. The pre-chorus in TG sounds so angelic and is probably so far* my favourite thing on the album from what we've heard. 5
