it is very clear that the second half is where the main highlights are, but I love the sequencing cause it feels like an adventure. it's quite lowkey until Fxck starts, and then the party gets going. it feels like you're microdosing shrooms and then having a dance party in your candlelit bathtub

It's crazy that this blends several styles she's done in her career but still sounds so fresh & cohesive

The 47 minute runtime is perfect too. Mutant is my favorite album by her but it did run a bit long.

I can't believe how good this is @Kayseri Mantisi sis did you listen?

I had some of the live songs on repeat but couldn't listen to the actual album yet due to some irl things happening rn, cuz I want to be able to listen from start to finish

So yeah I'll listen

BUT YES wbk it's so good

excellent album 10/10 but we aren't shocked

First listen now.

On Willow and wow, it's already such a brilliant ride so far.

Gave it a listen today and oh wow this is great. Eidolon is my favorite, it has some EAQTT vibes and I love it. Fxck and Futurality complete my top 3

wonder when we're getting the Pitchfork review? and hopefully more reviews

Fxck is monumental.

the album is incredible

Fxck is an obvious highlight, but the album flows nicely, there's a bit of everything but especially early Arca, the mixtapes etc. - so so so refreshing from her and a fantastic comeback after nearly 5 years of no full lenght, thank you Diva Experimental

Great album! Especially nice during a...

I love it a lot, super happy she's back with full instrumental she always the besttt.
My faves : willow, grip, everything, fxck

Pitchfork: 7.8

sooooo beautiful

7.8 is kind of a lame score. I disagree that the album is frontloaded. They left out so many strong points in the 2nd half.

It's sitting at 80 on metacritic right now with 5 reviews. 76 on AOTY (both user/critics) & 3.61 on RYM.

So it's still getting a good reception but not as good as Kick iii.

Damn, not even a 8.0

The Eidolon outro >>>>

Edited August 4Aug 4 by Escape

Certainly prefer this to any of the KICKs

Everything being one of my highlights as well as Willow and Fxck

Sueno

STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHPPPPP

Please let's get the title corrected on Last.fm

Review update:

Fantano - decent to strong 7

BPM - 86

Metacritic - 81 (+1)

AOTY - 77 (critics), 75 (users)

Decided that "Throb" is another gem as is Sueno. Grip is in the second half too. Frontloaded where?
