This is so much better than Actor it's ridiculous.

What a weird, haphazard relationship St. Vincent shares with her music. She has the impulses of lesser artists, extending song lengths past their logical stopping points (check out that title track; there's like three false endings) but with the skill of some major players, some of which wouldn't even touch half of what makes up Strange Mercy. Annie Clark has built her own ballpark in a genre that usually supports the minor leagues, and for the time being seems to be only playing against herself.

Strange Mercy is as shocking and suffocating as its incredible album cover.

The ultimate St. Vincent album for many, quite understandibly. While her two previous albums were either a little inconsistent or too self-explorative to deliver a truly massive experience, 'Strange Mercy' is about as realised and fully fleshed out as a St. Vincent album can possibly get, without losing any of her signature violence and dystopian snark.

Less pop and more noise = higher ratings.

I like St. Vincent but I don't like, likelike this album. Weirdo pop music that I feel isn't that consistent.

The ethereal soundscapes and eerie lyricism of Strange Mercy demand several listens to uncover all their fascinating and subtle traits, but it feels mildly underwhelming in contrast to the humongous, frightening, overpowering Actor.

I really don't care for a lot of this type of poppy stuff, and I also wasn't too huge on Actor, I thought it was 'ok'. This however is a huge step up for Annie Clark. It keeps all the great things about Actor like the charm and the fun melodies but makes the actual music a lot more varied and interesting. It gets a little stranger and a tad darker than where her work went before, and the result is an incredibly fun artsy pop album with plenty of great compositions and melodies. Only huge problem is when its not incredibly fun its incredibly boring. Inconsistency with these tracks is kinda killing me, I love some of them but just wanna turn some of them off. Oh but her lyrics on here are truly awesome. This style still won't ever be my favorite, but Clark has finally made something I enjoy, most of the time. I won't go back to this in full often, simply because a lot of it just doesn't appeal to me completely, but the best stuff on here is incredibly catchy and bright. Just wish it had more than just 3 or 4 tracks of that.

More personal, yet her most layered, buried, and fuzzed-out effort yet. The harmony on most songs is so much more gratifying than the already satisfying music she's created so far, and her lyric phrasing is a bit more unique this time around.
