St. Vincent - MASSEDUCTION (October 13, 2017) Album • Page 8

I know the obvious thing w/ Pills is the jingle component, but it kinda reminds me of something from musical theater. Anyone else getting that? Almost like there's a specific song from some musical but I just can't grasp it.

 

Y'all are crazy "pills" is amazing. That breakdown/coda at the end? Wooo. Also such a catchy and fun song, and love the classic Annie Clark guitar spazz halfway through. It's such a trip of a song.

 

Every time I listen to the verses of "Los Ageless" I hear "Closer."

 

Also, had no idea she was big enough to play a 3,000 seat venue. Got tix regardless.

 

She'll be on SNL this year certainly right?

 

Someone in the stereogum comments for best songs of the week said it should get a Danny Brown remix and nothing has ever made more sense.

 

she's playing a 6000 here, she's huge, haha

 

Yea Pills is fun but I'd say it's probably the weakest song on here, but that says more about the quality of the album more than Pills being weak.

 

Like re-listening to Pills is already having it grow on me, so yea this is a really great album.

 

Pills being the weakest track is ridiculous to me after one listen, but it's also just after one listen so who knows what will come of this album

 

I think of “Quartz” by TV on the Radio. It’s the way the chorus comes in I think. That sudden shift in melody. But it’s not truly that similar....I think

I also think of “About to Die” by Dirty Projectors when I hear “Hang on Me”. They aren’t all that similar either. But there’s something in the way Annie sings it that has been making me hum “About to Die” instead.

 

When the riff for "Los Ageless" plays during "Sugarboy"

 

I've had happy birthday johnny in my head all day, what a beautiful song

 

Sugarboy rules

 

Enjoyed this a lot. Pills is sick, what a catchy tune. Ends in a big way too.

 

Pills is great, "pills to fuck pills to eat pills pills pills down the kitchen sink" is at least top ten hooks of the year

and the whole album is rad

 

Seems like a lot to digest initially so I'm thinking this will grow on me. Back end of this was particularly strong imo.

 

“Young Lover” is a banger damn

 

This is amaaaaaaaaaaazing. Fuck.

 

I mean this is the best record of the year. Hands down. Not close. This is the current bar for rock music in 2017. Unapologetic, her confidence is infectious. Her masterpiece.

 

A true god damn masterpiece.

 

Parts of Sugarboy really remind me of Robyn

 

HAng on Me is one of my favorite openers of the year

 

I’m not usually this guy, but a 7.6 from Pitchfork is ridiculous. That makes this her lowest scoring album from them.
