Genuine WOW tho at her not being familiar with Ackerman.

Album is fun!

wow this is such a peter gabriel album

lol "violent times" sounds like muse??? but one of their ballads

i don't love it but i think this is my favourite album of hers, it's pretty good. the verse about sophie's death feels awkward and in poor taste though and i see people are already upset about it

i have generally really dug clark's work all the way since actor, not listened to this album yet. pretty stoked

reading this thread i'm like "yes!" "no." "yes!" "no." "ew, man i hope not" "YES!"

ok all the neg shit is about muse tbh

I'm shocked how much I enjoyed this. The singles were not representative at all. Broken Man is still one of my least favourite songs she's done, but overall this is a step up from Daddy's Home despite some clunky lyrics.

I loved St Vincent but the last album was just plain bad and really put me off ever being excited about anything new so I wont be pre-ordering this time (though I haven't played that new song yet) I really hope she's back on form though.

I like it and ordered the LP.

I finally gave this a listen last night; I need to listen to it more but it seemed much stronger than the last two (I didn't care for the last one, though it was fun seeing some of those songs live when she opened for Roxy Music).
