[HeartSwells]

Even though she was the second last lady standing, Banks was done so dirty last time. Queen of angsty gay bops.

How fitting you should use this gif when Miss Jesus released the far superior Witness this year.

Noticed a trend after going through all the albums - in all of them one of the singles ends up being a low (or at least middling) point of the respective album.

I thought I won't be able to find the time for this, but looking at the comments, Lana and St. Vincent are in desperate need of my tens and elevens, so I'm gonna find a way to squeeze this into my schedule.

 

[MiChiMadNesS]

Wow, that Lana album really is not very good is it. It's just boring.

 

[Joe.]

Wow, that Lana album really is not very good is it. It's just boring.

Nah, critically acclaimed, Grammy nominated Lust For Life is more than just "very good", it's triumphant, excellent, outstanding.

In a category with Coldplay and Ed Sheeran so let's not pretend that really means much.

 

[Sanctuary]

There is literally not a single worthwhile song in the extra section.

 

[Animalia]

This is literally not a single worthwhile song in the extra section.

 

[tylerc]

There is literally not a single worthwhile song in the extra section.

In a forum first, I think I agree. Then again, I keep excluding Tove from the extras-narrative because I knew it coming into this.

Don't get bitter, just get better:

Don't get bitter, just get better:

The best extra ❤️

 

[Jonathan27]

It's this kind of thinking that lead to Mother Earth crashing out at #33 in the first iteration of this rate. If Undercover becomes the Mother Earth of this rate I will go off à la @Petty Mayonnaise in this iconic write-up.

Remembering the context of this skull dragging.

 

[Trouble in Paradise]

There is literally not a single worthwhile song in the extra section.

 

[Trouble in Paradise]

Wow, that Lana album really is not very good is it. It's just boring.

I also found it boring the first few times I listened when it first came out (not including "Love" which is untouchably good). Breaking up your listening will help cause it is a little over long. The final three songs fit together beautifully and anyone sleeping on "Heroin" is missing out on one of the best musical moments of 2017.

 

[Kuhleezi]

The night Heroin will be eliminated I'll be pensively sipping some red wine on my throne of Ultraviolence physical copies and seductively sob myself to sleep.
