It would benefit from being shorter, it overtstays its welcome but I like it.

Bartender is so good. My top3 from NFR!
There’s an awkward sense of “under development” like the song is never quite finished and then it cuts at the end, but it works in this “ethereal plane” as if watching her doing a rehearsal in an empty auditorium and talking about her life. It reminds me a lot of Bel Air and also the Tunnel material.
The melody is just strong as well. The “naivety” of the “Ha ha ha ha” acting as a hook… it’s pretty all mesmerizing. I know most of the album probably pushed it forward in some other directions but Bartender feels like its own little space. No surprise since she mentioned it long before we had news about the Album itself and wasn’t even sure of where it would land.

Also the vinyl version of 'Fuck It I Love You' is so much better.
I guess I'm just doberman stanning these days because Doin' Time is the only song where the quality wavers at all on NFR!, and that's simply by virtue of feeling too removed from the overall soundscape.

But it’s still iconic as fuck though… ‘… I really do hoo … ‘ and that verse line: ‘I used to shoot up my veins in the arm… do shit to keep me turned on… ‘
It's not a bad song at all, but Fuck It I Love You is such a dip in quality after that incredible opening trio.
No but seriously this is one of the absolute best moments on the entire album!
I love how she delivers the title line in that faint falsetto, like she's still ashamed to admit it. An all timer (like every other original song on NFR! teebs).

*original* being the operative word here!
This... isn't the lyric.
There are no skips on NFR and the suggestion that there are is sexist, racist and homophobic.
Like the police? I agree.
