I had my first proper cry to Fingertips today. God that was cathartic. I haven't cry cried in what feels like ages and just...the power of that song and its beautiful arrangement. An alltimer. Top 5 ever for me I feel, and this solidified it. I'm floored. Still.

Did the same on Sunday with the grants and kintsugi. It was honestly a very spiritual experience. It was while I was going for a walk and I saw a cardinal and just broke down lol. This has become a healing album for me which NFR kinda was too but not to the transcendental level of this album.

taco truck X VB is the best song of all time i’m afraid

Still obsessed with this album  I didn't go back to her other albums yet since this was released, though I did add some of the recent unreleased (Pink Champagne, Lake Placid) to the mix.

the title track's like a seashore lullaby after a long day. violins like the waves like a blanket 

[barttttender 4,951]

omg this topic is dead and it's been a month after the album.

 

well done ben. not even a music video to keep us talking.

[Future Jazz 9,194]

the part between a&w and kintsugi feels like a bit empty but i still absolutely love this album

[Rico25 7,889]

This album is everything

God what if we have to wait until the topless vinyl ships for CN to drop because her team thinks that will help it move more copies. That's June

Basically the closing BOP triplets and the broken-hearted fairytale duo

I still am so shocked that there weren’t massive thinkpieces written about the grandfather lyrics like

 

if she released a song with those lyrics on COCC it would have been OVER for her  

 

This isn’t me saying that they are bad or offensive or anything but they are basically the song equivalent of what she tried to say on QFTC and that follow up video so it’s just funny to see how fickle public opinion can be 

[plastiscguy 63,437]

I think I listen to almost every song equally, however... the songs I listen to the least:

 

- Candy Necklace (I don't like the tempo change where her voice is off tempo)

- Fingertips (Too dense... Have to be in the right mood)

- Margaret (I don't like Jack's voice, I don't like the spoken part in the bridge)

- Sweet (Not my favorite)

- A&W (I prefer the first part)

[taco truck 32,988]

Honestly I like most of the songs, but I just don’t find myself going back to the album besides A&W, Peppers, and Taco Truck. Tbh I think this is going to be an album that a year or so from now will finally click with me lol. I have just now been able to start to appreciate Chemtrails for what it is (though I do still think the second half drags), and I only like BB less as time goes on, but this album I do think I could start to really like.
