Originally I gave this album a 90, but I knew I was just scratching the surface of how I felt and it's been on HEAVY rotation since first listen. This album is just so fucking inspiring sonically, and even sometimes lyrically. I just feel so inspired! So many trans women releasing amazing fucking music recently.

fav tracks: ALL.
least fav: NONE.
is this album a little top heavy? absolutely (i mean all 5 singles are the first five tracks) but that doesn't there isn't plenty to enjoy throughout the record. Slayyyter's most cohesive record since her self-titled, albeit a lot more depressing lyrically. then again, it's not called WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA for nothing.
fav tracks: CRANK, BRITTANY MURPHY.
least fav: I'M ACTUALLY KINDA FAMOUS
