Margaret is actually an excellent song. I think some people might not like the subject matter, but the song is beautifully written and produced and shows off her songwriting ability and talent. You can't just be out here denying talent like that. Give Margaret her flowers.

I don't get the use of autotune on Fishtail.

oh she cares about what they write :rip: the cute listening parties with snacks... i-

I mean, yes, she probably cares about not being misunderstood through her words/music, but they’re not bashing her. They’re not twisting her lyrics or her intentions: from the initial reviews, to me it just seems like this record is less mass-appealing than NFR and probably more intricate/intense. So it may be harder for casual critics to fully engage with it. It’s not like she’s going to have a meltdown if she doesn’t get 85+ on Metacritic. 

 

She’s sitting at 79 with 6 reviews, NFR had 28 so we’re still missing around 20 reviews to be added, I have no doubt this is going to end up at least as her second most acclaimed album ever.

Does anyone have the full lyrics to the songs? Or Kintsugi at least??

I listened to all the leaks but now can easily wait for 3 more days when I pick up my vinyl. Like... It's not that hard.

Pastor interlude and maybe sweet are only skips. Excellent record.

To be fair, some quite tough publications have to release their reviews such as COS, Slant, Popmatters and AV Club

Met my boyfriend down at the taco truck 
Pass me my vape, I’m feeling sick, I need to take a puff
Imagine if we actually gave a ****
Wouldn't that be something to talk about for us?
 
Caribbean blue in sweater weather 
I’m falling into you 
Although it seems I’ve gotten better 
I can be violent too (Ah)
 
That's why they call me Lanita 
When I get down I’m Bonita 
Don’t come find me in Reseda
I’ll go crazy 
Read my gold chain, says Lanita
When I’m violent it's Carlito’s way
Blood on my feet on the street, I’m dancing crazy 
 
Spin it till you whip it into white cream baby 
Print it into black and white pages, don't faze me 
Before you talk let me stop what you're saying 
I know, I know, I know that you hate me
 
Honey wait, I got up so early and then I went on for a shower and then I was just able to go back to sleep for an hour and a half, so that rocked, um anyway, I had this dream where um, I don't know
  
(Signing off, bang bang kiss kiss)
Ya heard my baby's back in town now
You should come on come over 
We’ll be hanging around now 
You should come on come over 
Back back to the garden
We’re getting high now because we’re older
Me myself I like diamonds
Or baby crimson and clover
 
Oh God, miss you on my lips
It's me your little Venice *****
On the stoop with the neighborhood kids
Callin out bang bang kiss kiss 
Callin out bang bang kiss kiss 
Signing off bang bang kiss kiss
 
Back in the garden, we're getting high now, because we’re older
Me myself I like diamonds
My baby crimson and clover
Wha wha wha wha wha whatever 
Everything, whatever 
Wha wha wha wha wha whatever 
Everything’s whatever 
 
Oh God, miss you on my lips (I do, I do)
It's me your little Venice *****
On the stoop with the neighborhood kids
Calling out bang bang kiss kiss 
Calling out bang bang kiss kiss 
Signing off bang bang kiss kiss
 
If you weren't mine I’d be jealous of your love (Get high, drop acid, never die, not tonight, lake placid)
If you weren't mine I’d be jealous of your love 
If you weren't mine I’d be jealous of your love 
If you weren't mine I’d be jealous of your love
 
Oh god miss you on my lips (I do, I do)
It's me your little Venice *****
On the stoop with the neighborhood kids (If you weren't mine I’d be jealous of your love)
Calling out bang bang kiss kiss 
Calling out bang bang kiss kiss

There's a certain point the body can't come back from
In one year we've learned the turn of the mouth
The depth that the chest cavity takes
Chucky was there for three out of three 
I was there for the third cause I couldn't be there for the one who was closest to me
But I can’t say I run when things get hard
It's just that I don’t trust myself with my heart
But I’ve had to let it break a little more 
Cause they say that's what it's for 
 
That's how the light shines in 
That's how the light shines in 
It’s how the light gets in
 
So everyone was there
They were standing, laughing
And I’m on the side with my tears streaming down 
Something about the clutch of the wrist 
He thought mine was his to cough into his mouth 
We’ve only got hours, and I just can't stop crying
Cause all of the ways, when you see someone dying
The sea of your days flash in front of you
And you think about who will be with you 
And then there's Donoghue
 
Daddy I miss them, I’m in the mountains 
I’m probably running away from the feelings I get
When I think of all the things about them
Daddy I miss them, I’m at the Roadrunner Cafe 
I’m probably running away from the thoughts in the day
That have things to do with them 
But they say 
 
That's how the light gets in 
That's how the light gets in
That's how the light gets in
 
Think by the third of March, I was cracked open
Finally the ground was cold, they wouldn't open
Brought by the sunlight of the spirit to pour into me
There's a name for it in Japanese, it’s Kintsugi
They sang folk songs from the 40s, even the 14 year old knew Froggy Came A-Courtin
How do my blood relatives know all of these songs 
I don’t know anyone left who knows songs that I sing 
 
That's how the light gets in 
That's how the light gets in 
 
But daddy I miss them, I’m at the Roadrunner Cafe
Probably running away from the feelings today 
In the snow capped mountains of the desert 
Daddy I miss them, I’m in the mountains 
Probably running away, I’m meaning to say
That there's nothing to do except know that 
 
This is how the light gets in 
Like cracking the light gets in
It's how the light gets in
That's how the light gets in 
That's how the light gets in 
 
And you're golden, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
Just another folk song but hey
I try so hard but that's okay 
It's how the light gets in 
It's how the light gets in, It's how the light gets in

Most record stores, at least around me, tend to close early. That being said, they could have had it Saturday or Sunday the week before :monkey:

For those who've played the album through in the last few days, which tracks do you think have a solid place in her Top 10?

 

 

Lyrics wise: Fingertips easily

Musically: Grandfather, Kintsugi

For me 

Kintsugi has such a classic melody but she sings it so gorgeously and she plays with her tone as well, it gives old btd or lizzy at times just briefly, then she has her UV warble at other moments, its a really nuanced vocal performance imo if you really pay attention. The lyrics are also not what I would've expected it to be about, but still rather beautiful.
