Before listening to this album, my only previous exposure to Arca's music had been through her work with Björk and FKA twigs. I enjoyed her production, but it didn't really blow me away and I never gave it much thought. So going into this, I didn't know what to expect.
Sonically, Arca's self-titled LP is fantastic. The production is definitely the best thing about it, and every sound is just absolutely gorgeous. Arca's eerie singing is also fantastic, it's unsettling and fits the mood ... read more
Women's members have been involved in many different musical endeavors, from Patrick Flegel's drag persona Cindy Lee to Matt Flegel and Michael Wallace's Preoccupations, which is sort of a continuation of what the musicians had been able to do in Women's short lifespan before the unfortunate passing of Chris Reimer and following breakup of the band. While I love these projects, none of their works have made me feel the same emotions that the original band was able to make me feel.

This album really is fantastic, it's the shit I would listen to if I was on the run from an intergalactic space demon. The chugging guitars, the glitchy electronic effects, and the interesting programmed drums make me feel like I'm falling through the 9th dimension while my muscles tear apart and my neurons burst into flames. It's heavy as fuck.
The only two gripes I have with this record are that 1. All the songs sound a bit too samey, and 2. The album could have been shortened by 20 minutes ... read more
I'm torn between liking this album and completely disregarding it. You know, it has a lot of things going for it; it's raw, passionate, and very emotional. There are some really great hard-hitting moments, especially on the first half. In fact, Waiting for the Crash is one of the best screamo songs I've heard in a while, and Childlike is fantastic too. There are some really good riffs, the drumming is solid, and the vocals are very intense and expressive.
Despite all that, this album has a lot ... read more
