Eventually, Pitchfork will tire of her Otherness, no longer deem it au courant , and discard her like a torn dashiki. Ask M.I.A.

I don’t think it’s nearly as bad as y’all are making it out to be. It’s different, messy but there is a cohesive element to it. This isn’t traditional, just like some of Stevie Wonder’s exploratory work and Alice Coltrane weren’t traditional and this falls in that same world. It’s definitely not for everybody.

I have come to accept this as music to nod off on heroin to or music to shop to or music to have bad sex to. It has a purpose!

I played this while talking to the good bro Wavey✨️ last night and it cast some kind of voodoo spell on me, LOL. It doesn't make me want to turn it off, so maybe I will put it on when I want to sleep or on a flight or something like that. Honestly, I would prefer if it were instrumental because I dig the jazzy music but the lyrics are hollow and so incredibly basic.

The beatz are great for the most part, it's just the songs that are lazy. The lyrics especially.

Wait why does this have the same acclaim as ASAT and more than True and Sol Angel
All 3 of those are VASTLY better albums
This one feels like a shell of her real work with such minimalist lyrics.

Yes, though as a matter of fact, I replayed ASATT much less than Sol-Angel and True. I prefer when she carries actual melodies.
