Psychedelic Pussy 30,115 Posted October 30, 2019 the album isn't even out yet and im sitting here impatiently waiting for someone to do a remix of fallen alien where the "I feel the lightning blast" bit just loops for like 2 minutes............ 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TrashMagiq 60,212 Posted October 30, 2019 i didnt think it was possible for me to love the best song released this year, cellophane, even more but I love it even more in the context of this album ugh 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Veinsineon 79,017 Posted October 30, 2019 After digesting the album for most of the day, here is my ranking ; Cellophane Reveal hidden contents (Remains one one of the best songs released this year. Utterly disemboweling) Fallen Alien Reveal hidden contents (What the FUCKKKK????? Easily one of twigs' best songs. The sheer rage expressed is CONTAGIOUS 10/10!!!!!!) Home With You Reveal hidden contents (Never understood anybody's qualms with it. It's perfect. Sounds exactly like a baroque painting brought to life) Mirrored Heart Reveal hidden contents (BEAUTIFUL, I don't know what else to say. This one is perhaps the most cinematic one for me) Mary Magdalene Reveal hidden contents (Perfectly encompasses the aesthetic and theme of this era. It's a little oddly placed but all of the songs are, STUNNING production, STUNNING lyrical content, I made myself stop listening to the live version because I knew this would slap so hard I wanted it to be fresh. Eyyyyeeee FEEEEVERRR FOR THE FYYYRE) Daybed Reveal hidden contents (I don't know how it's possible, but the atmosphere of this song is so humid. The amount of moisture it psychologically conveys is intense. I want to surrender my body to my bed in the sunlight, AND it has adlibs that remind me heavily of LP1. We really came full circle :,) ) Sad Day Reveal hidden contents (It's cute, The hook is so catchy, the production is quite dancey and appropriate. Although it's a good song, it's not as good as it's contenders) Thousand Eyes Reveal hidden contents (I LOVE that this song is longer than the live version, but I hate that it is missing many aspects of the live version. I really have to be in a certain mood for this song. The same way I'd have to be in a certain mood to listen to Preface from LP1) Holy Terrain Reveal hidden contents (No explanation needed, a pure filler. I would've killed to have any of the other teased tracks instead of this. Even arca couldn't save it) Overall album rating - 9/10 I would've rated it a 10/10, with this record proving to us that twigs has no intention of remaining in a box. Always evolving and constantly conveying her art in innovative and captivating ways. The gut-wrenching highs of this album mixed with the tear-jerking lows, operatic choruses, and semi sci-fi baroque production really add to the homely feeling of it. Twigs is the voice leading us through the flood like moses. While I don't agree with the track order, and the inclusion of Holy Puke-aine, I have to accept this project for what it is. A timeless representation of a woman's struggle with acceptance and compliance. Bravo twigs, only standing ovations from this side! I will always eat up anything this bitch brings to the table 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wraith 7,277 Posted October 30, 2019 I'm so glad I missed out on listening to the live versions cause this album is perfection! I have no issues with it except Holy Terrain is a useless bop 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
konnichiwalski 1,764 Posted October 30, 2019 Not to be that kind of person but I really feel like Trust in Me has a place in this album. Very fitting sonically and lyrically, a missed opportunity. And I still can't pick favorites nn 3 Quote 自由になる自由がある Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

domandapiano 12,300 Posted October 30, 2019 Mary Magdalene, Fallen Alien, and Sad Day are my top 3, but really the whole thing is beautiful. The only “weak” link is Holy Terrain, and I don’t even dislike it. Just surrounded by everything else it almost sounds too plain. It was clearly the attempt at some sort of mainstream moment but I don’t think the album needed it. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m suddenly very excited to listen I can’t imagine this album being better than LP1 , I mean the cover art is just so ugly. & Holy Terrain was more boring than Two Weeks. I’m sure this will be a great album tho.. wish there were 10 songs like LP1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheBoss 13,544 Posted October 31, 2019 I can't stop listening to it, Mirrored heart might be one of my favorite songs from her it might even beat Cellophane as her best ballad, her power This album my God 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love it and I wasn’t even that excited for it. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
