The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived's build up is truly one of the most satisfying thing on this album sonic wise. First the cold rage and then the lash out. DE-LI-CIOUS :jonny4:

Album flows so well. It just draws you. Long song don't feel as such. I live for the utter expressionism. :heart2:

the title song has such a beautiful melody and isn't badly produced, but the "seven bars of chocolate and golden retriever " lines just diminish it. why do this to such a beautiful song? She said to embrace "cringe" and she's showing us how.

Of her album releases I've experienced so far, this one has been the biggest grower of them all. Maybe it will click for you after a few more listens :celestial5:

TSMWEL can be lucky to have that bridge/build up otherwise it would be bottom of the rankings

Outstanding album overall. The fact there's only 4 tracks out of 31 that I'm not eager to replay while still liking them truly says it all. :clap3:

Cassandra clickings are now :gaylorcat2:

Finally listened to the album in full. I wanted to enjoy it but I just couldn't get into it. I'm not a fan of that talk-singing she has been doing with her later albums. I know it gives her room to write with more complexity but sometimes less is more (see All Too Well).

need Down Bad ft. SZA as the 3rd single

It's so so so soo incredible. 

 

I'm not seeing people talk enough about all the different song structures (or lack of, in some cases) on this album! That part of the TSMWEL feels like it's just going to be a bridge, but then it's actually a devastating, nearly two minute long   diatribe :jonnycat:

 

Clara Bow has no real chorus. Fresh Out the Slammer spins out into a different song at the end. The list goes on. Ugh it's all so good.

i love how on the standard edition there's so much humor and sarcasm all throughout and then on The Anthology she is taking herself a lot more serious and is a lot more pensive in a way. Multi faceted QUEENT
