Really nice album, as a full length album this comes together insanely nicely, even if it doesn't have as much individual "wow!" songs as some of her other albums.
TOP 3 SONGS: It's Not Up To You, Frosti, Pagan Poetry
Royksopp's first album, and easily one of their weakest. It's still, pretty solid, but has no "wow!" moments that almost all of their other albums do. Lots of stuff are very forgettable.
TOP 3 SONGS: So Easy, Eple, Poor Leno
oops I don't like this one very much compared to everything else they have to offer rip
It's tough but I just don't really enjoy the sounds on this one. A lot of songs are just really ugly in a non-gratifying way. Definitely the worst of their discography, but the existence of this album does give us alive 2007 so it barely passes in my book.
Lost In Bonerland is absolutely FIRE. Everything else is just fine.
Decent. My 3 "top songs" are the only top songs here I even remotely like. Everything else kinda does nothing for me.
TOP 3 SONGS: Over & Over, The Warning, Boy From School
Kind of fades into the background for me. Forgettable
Kind of feels like daft punk but not really as good. Less Talk More Rokk and Afterparty are nice though, but everything else meh
I feel like this album is always looked at one of her worst ones but honestly, I kind of love it. Or I guess, two songs on here- Wanderlust and Declare Independence- are in my top 5 bjork songs of all time. And then the rest of the album is Just Okay.
TOP 3 SONGS: Wanderlust, Declare Independence, .....................Earth Intruders
Fuck Ethan Kath, but this album is still pretty good. I understand it's their most popular but honestly... it's always been my least favourite. But hey, I still like it, it's got some really sick vibes.
TOP 3 SONGS: Knights, Vanished, Untrust Us
I dunno... I'm kind of bored. This doesn't do much for me.
Not much I can say here that hasn't already been said, this album is killer, but not my personal favourite of their catalogue.
mmmmm this one I find to be exceptionally forgettable. Out of all grimes records, and I don't think she's put out a bad one (yet), I think this is the weakest.
I'd say this is probably the weakest link in Royksopp's discography. It's still not bad, they've never put out a bad album, but it just doesn't stick out at all. "The Alcoholic" and "...And The Forest Began To Sing" are the two standouts for me, but still, everything kind of fades into the background of ambience.
Very pretty, a couple of duds in the tracklist, but some really good stuff too. I think this is their most popular album, and while not my personal favourite, that's still for good reason. St. Michael is a personal highlight, I'm not sure why but I always find myself bopping along to it. It also has hyperpop style vocals 5 years before hyperpop even existed.
TOP 3 SONGS: St. Michael, Trinity's Crying, Hopscotch
Well....
First, I will say, Good Day Today, and Pinky's Dream absolutely SLAP. Good Day Today especially, that song is straight up 10/10.
But absolutely N O T H I N G else on this album lives up to it. I found myself deeply disliking nearly every single other song on this album, or if I didn't dislike it, I just didn't care.
Maybe this kind of music is just not for me.

"whoops, I always confuse the two cause pix n bit also has "Birdsong" which I feel the same way about. edited tho"
On Sega Bodega - Dennis
"Yeah exactly. In Sega's music, he tends to embrace a really feminine side of being a man through both the production and the lyrics, which is much more typical of LGBT artists since this music and the themes tends to habit a more gender fluid space associated with the LGBT (part of the reason why I like it cause I'm gay lol). Ultimately to me it doesn't really matter if he is straight or not, the music is incredible, it was just kind of surprising lmaooo"
On BaddieBaphomet's review of SOPHIE - OIL OF EVERY PEARL'S UN-INSIDES
"no problem and ofc yeah, she was one of the first queer people that I really looked up to and made me feel comfy in my own body as a queer person so it hit really hard but I take solace in the fact that I am not the only one she impacted in that way with her work"
On BaddieBaphomet's review of SOPHIE - OIL OF EVERY PEARL'S UN-INSIDES
"god when you talked about the day sophie died it brought me right back to that too cause that was also the very first thing I saw when I woke up. I remember back then it was the height of covid so I was sleeping in absurdly late so I woke up just to go to the washroom and checked my phone and that was the first thing I saw and I was so shocked to the core that I could not fall back to sleep whatsoever. Also glad you mentioned Um Um as that has become one of my fav songs of all time and is one of the only ones that is able to consistently make me tear up LOL. Also want to mention Lost Everything by A.G. Cook & EasyFun (and Remi Wolf on vocals) off of their latest album cause that was also dedicated to her, it's another one that really hits me to the core. Really loved this writeup thank you a ton, from one queer person to another <3"

"ik it's been months since this happened, but I still come back to this review because it so perfectly encapsulates how I feel about all of this, and it's written in a way that is much better than anything what I could have done lol. any time anyone asks me why I don't like kim anymore I just link them this review"
