It's good but (like others have said) brings back bad memories of post-NIN industrial radio rock (Gravity Kills, Filter, Stabbing Westward).

So does this count as Grimes's "getting back to our roots" record?

I'd actually probably like it more because then I wouldn't have to think about elon musk

This sounds like the kind of music I would rebel against in high school.

a day later this still unfortunately rules, minus the lyrics, minus the tepid acoustic-radio-pop interludes ("Play Destroy" had this issue as well) plus the moment I started hearing "there's a place in France"

"Unfortunately, this rules" is my pop music sentiment

I don't care who she's fucking and I don't trust anyone who does and this track rules.
― Matt DC, Friday, 30 November 2018 15:12 (five years ago) link
to be fair I think it's less about "who she's fucking" and more about potential fascist over/undertones (although no more, really, than NIN)

I don't know what's so objectionable about that comment given that I have seen multiple people make variations on it upthread that have gone unremarked upon
― aloha darkness my old friend (katherine), Friday, 30 November 2018 15:29 (five years ago) link
I don’t think the “fascist overtones” are that problematic. It’s a sci fi fantasy.

oh don't worry it's not any more ridiculous than many of the comments in this thread

fascists don't just come out and say "we appreciate power." it's fascist like starship troopers is fascist. in fact the whole formulation is pretty hilarious we "appreciate" power - who talks like that? ppl hunger for power, fight for it, but they rarely appreciate it. in this case it's bc it's an acquiescence, an attempt to get along with those who want power. don't mind me i also appreciate power. or if it is sincere it is stating the lust for power in a superficial casual way. "appreciation" is not a fascist word. it's making a mockery of the desire to accumulate power. either way the song has a relationship to fascism but it's obviously not a fascist song. no fascist is going to listen to it and feel represented or moved.
― Mordy, Friday, 30 November 2018 15:46 (five years ago) link
i wouldnt say nin were ever lyrically techno-fascist or anything like that?
grimes is just a nerd who thinks roko's basilisk is a cool concept or whatever instead of a ridiculously silly thing just like her recent tweets about how cool it will be when everyone has chips in their brain to control their behaviour etc which is bad vibes even if shes just a nerd messing around with sci-fi tropes. i don't get the feeling shes sincerely i much prefer her in any other lyrical mode, even kill v maim which was supposed to be from the perspective of a time-travelling vampire mobster? idk

xp they definitely don't say "we appreciate power." maybe "we love power." but appreciate it such a weird word to apply to power.
