'Happy', 'I'm a Ruin', 'Blue'. FROOT blows its load early.

It's more like it blows several loads through-out the whole song.
I don't read pervious pages so any news for a new album?
I meant the album.
FROOT is one hundred percent her best album.
Well, the post is still relevant.

I think whilst it definitely starts remarkably strong, there're still great tracks throughout the entire thing. But then I love Solitaire (my favourite slowie on the album, even more so than Happy), Can't Pin Me Down and Weeds very nearly as much as FROOT and I'm A Ruin.
My top 3 would probably be FROOT, I'm A Ruin and Weeds, if I had to say, but really it's one of only two albums in the past 2 years that I've not just cherry-picked my favourite tracks after the first two listens, chucked them on a playlist then barely remembered the rest. It's great from start to finish. Even Gold and Better Than That (the weak links for me) are like 7/10. It's unquestionably her best album. I really hope she comes back to music soon.

Savages is the misanthropic bop that can be only done by her.
I still play FROOT to this day and haven't grown sick of the album yet. I love how her music has longevity especially in such a disposable climate. The only track I wouldn't willing listen to is Weeds, I always wanted I'm Not Hungry Anymore to take it's place which says a lot about Weeds when all I've heard only 14 seconds of INA.
I'm a Ruin, Happy, Blue, Gold, Savages & Can't Pin Me Down are regularly on rotation. I can't pick a holy trinity when 11 out of the 12 tracks are genius.

The albums out at midnight on the 25th. There's going to be three songs released per week. It's a visual album.
'Gold' is fantastic. 'Savages' is the main duff track.

I think it's Weeds or Gold that I can't stand.

Was it your first time listening to the album? I had the same reaction when I first listened. Went back to it a few months later and it clicked.
It literally took me about 20 listens to love it. I'm SO glad I persisted with it because I didn't get the fuss at all with it for ages.

I love when that happens because those albums usually become some of my all time favourites. It feels so rewarding, I don't know.
Absolutely. It has a kind of ethereal depth to it that puts it above the others. I'm A Ruin and Solitaire two of the most gorgeous pop songs ever IMO.
It's a great album but I just don't feel that I'm the right position in my life yet to fully appreciate it? Like, I related strongly to The Family Jewels because I was going through a similar self-hate situation at the time, then Electra Heart was pretty parallel to me as well. But with FROOT, it's such a free, positive album (I'm A Ruin aside) compare to her last releases and I don't think I can truly connect with it because of this reason, though I am positive it will happen soon enough!
