Who lied to her and said childlike things is good I still can't get over it and 24hr Dog being on the same is just ridiculous

 

We needed a little more drums of deaths and a little less....that

I thought the album was fine. Don't know if I'm still going to be listening to it a month from now though.

I don't have my full opinion yet but I do feel the urgency to say it just doesn't make sense to me that Twigs and her team spent months in the studio working on a song like Childlike Things and fully believing it was a good idea. What the fuck was that. Worst Twigs song no competition.

I’ve been listening to the album all day so here are my thoughts. Girl feels good is probably the most solid, on genre track on the album besides the singals. Room of fools is awful, the vocals sound like bad live performance and the beat does not fit the song at all. The album then shifts sonically to a mix between Björk and grimes (loved this). Sticky is the standout track for me but is far too short and needed an extra chorus/verse and the last beat drop extended with fractured vocals. Keep it hold it is good just need better vocal mixing in the beat drop. Childlike things is odd, it sounds like a purpose made TikTok hit. The same repeated piano chord kinda ruins it. Striptease is good except for the abysmal verse vocals. 24 hour dog is good, love the vespertine micro beats. The vocals on Wanderlust sound like a chemtrails song, it’s a great closer. Overall the album is decent but could have used better production, and better vocal takes. The “techno” influence is nonexistent for most of the album.  Echo park clears 90% of this mess. 6.6 pitchfork, 3 stars the guardian, solid 6 fantano.

I don't really listen to FKA Twigs but I think this album's really good. I like the William Orbit and Aphex Twin sound. Don't think it's as good as brat imo. Pitchfork gave it a 9.1 and idk if it's THAT good...

I am entranced with "Girl Feels Good" and "Sticky" they make me want to be in a club with beautiful sweaty strangers at 3 in the morning - the entire album so far is gorgeous, im kinda shook. 

I actually like "Childlike Things" but I probably won't be listening to It (its a skip but I do like it and could see it going viral) 

"Striptease" got me twerking in my chair as I listen to it - like I want to be in the CLUB right now omg this song is so good I can feel the sensuality with each beat 

"Wanderlust" was the perfect closure for the album - it feels like a sad goodbye to the evening and it feels like the light is entering the room as we all go home from the night ugh it makes me sad cause it feels like when you have An Electric beautiful fun night and you dont want it to end but it ends and you are thinking in the moment how special it is and how it may or may not happen again  ugh okay wow 

album is 9/10 for me.

The production on 24 Hour Dog and Striptease is sublime. 

TRULY.

 

Hated Girls Feel Good. I get the point but it just didn't do for me.

Room of Fools was mess.

Also I hate when songs randomly yell at me lol like why did you turn up the bass and chop it like that lol

I wish Drums of Death was longer and without all that dance/remixing in between. I love that song so much.

This album did sound like an early 00's technology/Electronic pop. I can see it being popular at Raves.

24 hr dog is so WONderful.

LOVE Perfect Stranger

Her vocals were a highlight of this album.

I think Eusexua gave something different than what we got. I was expecting a more careful I guess Magdalene style but it didn't come off like that imo.
