Its good but feels over hyped, I think I expected more given the love I see for it all over the internet

Really excellent instrumentations ruined by some lifeless spoken word vocals. Ever as a stylistic choice they seem poorly executed with little variations in her voice or tone for an entire album. Leaves the whole experience feeling one note. Really if it wasn't for the instrumentals I'd write this one off completely.

I don't get what's so special about this. It's just a standard pop track that happens to be produced by Arca.

Man what happened to Arca? Mutant is one of my favorite albums of all time, and this new Kick series just falls flat on its face more often than not. i, ii, and iii have their moments but the overall experience of them all just feels weaker than her earlier works.

What we have here is much more ambient and atmospheric experience from Arca, and I'm not sure it works. She's really at her best when she's deconstructing music or going batshit crazy. Nothing here works, and call me disappointed.
