the song with arca is the best and it's the intro 😭

Like the rest of their discography, this EP is dark and oppressive. Cobra is my fav

god's chariots, rosebud, and I didn't give up on you are the strongest tracks

Not to be a basic bitch but How to Pretend is my fav, also like the guitar moment in Knot Me

Rewind and Hallucinogen are my favs

Declare Independence is one of the best Björk songs oat but I don't really care much for the male vocals on this album

Perfect EP. Scarling. is one of my fav bands ever.

The Mouth and Stardust are standouts, but I also really enjoyed Struggle with the Beast and The Whole Woman. The rest of the tracks kind of melded together for me, but I'm sure the album will feel more distinct for me upon relisten. There are moments of powerful instrumentation and beautiful vocals that make this album feel ambitious, but at the same time the run time and sameness of a lot of tracks prevented me from rating this higher.

Both tracks are phenomenal midwest emo

My go to melancholy album. This is such an amazing slowcore album, I have no idea why the reviews are so poor. The first three tracks, along with God in Heaven, are phenomenal. It’s one of those albums that understands you when you’re at your lowest.

I've not really delved into hyperpop, aside from SOPHIE's work (which I love). I think this album has elements of dance, electronic, and dubstep that make it stand out for me, but it starts to lose me when it leans into the more hyperpop sound. I really enjoyed the production on this album, but I'm still not sure if hyperpop as a genre is for me.

FINALLY got around to listening to this! This is such an important album and it is quite enjoyable, but I think it only just opens the door for Massive Attack's later experimentation. This album as a whole is a bit more generic than Mezzanine but that doesn't make it any less groundbreaking.

Sirens of the Caspian captivated me the most. I think this EP walks the line between being sonically interesting and kinda same-y; the potential is there, but I need to hear more.

ethereal and relaxing

Ass Swung Low is one of the best songs in her discography

Would I be crucified if I said this is Arca's best work?

I felt like FKA Twigs was edging me the whole time... a lot of this album sounded very same-y, and the songs only started to pull through towards the end. There are some tracks like Wild and Alone where I felt that there were interesting background elements that should've been brought to the forefront. Sushi was a standout track but its phenomenal latter half doesn't fully make up for its drawn out introduction. Stereo Boy was a good closer, and was the only track to convey any ... read more
