So good, but for sure not a "pop album" as was planned by her originally 

 

(Ty mods for deleting the accidental double post, it wasn't updating for me)

 

Also y'all saying 'no skips', when SOMEHOW Plunging Asymptote (which is already released, YEARS ago, that's bullshit) is on it, that's fucking crazy. That song is objectively trash, stop pretending to be bougie and act like it's art. It's shit.

I’m like 99% sure The Dome’s Protection is Unpredictable Reality renamed

 

Could Live In My Truth, Why Lies, or Always & Forever be songs we know about just renamed (ala Berlin Nightmare)?

haven’t listened to the album yet, but to those that have: are there any songs that we knew of that have been renamed?

Not as far as I've noticed. Other than that abortion that is Plunging, or the masterpiece of My Forever or Love Me, the rest is mostly new

I’ve been revisiting a lot of her old interviews and even up into 2019 Sophie often said that “the only kind of music is pop music” and other things along those lines. Seems like to her it just meant music trying to reach a wide audience. So I really do think, to her, this is a pop album. Many of the tracks would be considered pop by anyone’s standards, but as for the rest of them I think the fact that they have identifiable structures, tangible sounds, and vocals/hooks (for the most part), etc made them pop in Sophie’s eyes. I think an album Sophie would consider “experimental” would be so batshit off the walls that it might not even register as music to most people, so anything less than that is her exploring the possible forms and extremes of “pop” (which is hardly possible to define anyway). 
 

Also, plunging asymptote is a delicious rollercoaster of sensory confusion. There’s nothing else like it.

Has anyone ever shared the full list of songs Sophie pitched to Rihanna? Allegedly there was an entire folder that people got access to?

 

If not, anyone have a list of what’s confirmed and/or speculated to be from that batch?

Just because it doesn’t align with the most common and fixed notions of what pop is, it doesn’t mean Sophie didn’t think of it as a pop record.

For that matter, Sophie said in an interview that she considers Autechre as pop and electronic music legend Aphex Twin defined his record “Syro” as his pop album (nobody would ever call it that).

 

As for Plunging Asymptote, I have always thought it was a great track; I love the atmosphere, the textures, the sounds, it feels so electric and brings a lot of images to my mind.
