Got recommended "Is Loser An Emotion You Feel Too?" and I liked it so figured the full album would be worth checking out, but like... Not really, unfortunately.
I'll keep an eye on them in the future, not the worst album or debut ever.
81 is a great score but I can't help but be a little bit disappointed I guess.
I was anticipating and hoping I would end up giving this like a 89-93 or something crazy.
Maybe it'll grow on me. 🤷🏼♀️
How fucking depressing that 30+ years after the original we still necessitate the need for a sequel.
I only listened to this because I thought the album cover was so cracked.
Not bad overall. She has a nice voice and I liked some of the earlier tracks' cheap sounding (compliment) synthesizer clickity noises.
Could probably be cut down to 9 tracks and it'd be more digestible but even at 34 minutes the cliché writing bloats the experience.
I think this is the highest score I've given in over 4 years.
Absolutely phenomenal.
Dancing On My Own and Cherry Bomb covers prove that Xiu Xiu is specifically making music for me.
I was curious because of the low scores and negative reviews and had 15 minutes to kill so why not check out my first 2026 release?
They were cooking with dog shit on this one 🔥

Why is Evening Standard talking about the size of a man's penis in their review
"OMG Is Like Lindsay Lohan Like Okay Like" would have been a sick name, not gonna lie...
I'm really happy I finally listened to this but with that being said I didn't absolutely love it like I was hoping.
The last song is the only one I think I'd revisit. The album as a whole was good, but nothing I need as a permanent fixture in my life.
This is the first album this year I've really loved.
When I first listened to Melodrama, I can honestly say I didn't get it. In the last couple of years I've grown to appreciate it more, but the one song I knew I loved even when I first listened was Hard Feelings and specifically how abrasive the production got.
I've been desperate for more of that from Lorde and with Virgin, I finally got it.
I'm going to start off with a high score and I imagine it will only go higher ... read more
I cry pretty easily at movies but the ending of The Crow made me sob inconsolably.

"@noelblair the number doesn't matter as much as what it signifies? some things i have grown to appreciate more and others grow bored of over the course of a decade on this website. most ratings/"reviews" I do now are just amendments of past scores. it's a record for myself.
i didn't expect anyone to really notice, care or especially be bothered by me changing my score by even 1 point, no matter how long it took me."
