This album is, and will remain, one of my all-time favourites. Rosalia has set the bar very high with this project.
To equalise the fact that all these tracks are coherent together, while also being SO different, to create this unhinged set of tracks that makes you want to come back to it.
Sometimes I'd like to forget I ever listened to it, just to rediscover it, because the first listen was so much fun.

Starts good, end well, and in my point of view is really cohesive.
