If the new album is some exercise in "hey let's see how many different genres I can slap into one album" I'm gonna see some pretty crushing reviews coming in.



Also, not digging that new song. I really really really dislike that kind of spoken word type "singing". I could live with the rest of song with actual singing.

Scream isn't as offensively awful as the other two songs but it's just a scrappy throwaway nothing.



It sounds like the sort of experiment that would be the worst track on one of Tricky's least impressive albums.



I'm now feeling obligated out of a civic duty to review this album

surprised you guys don't dig the new song, i think it's really intense[2]
listened to it like 5 times already it's nuts goes so hard. it's so pounding and aggressive. those screams are awesome. i dig that little surf rock riff so much and that bass is monstrous

I just don't find Scream that interesting - it doesn't sound at all like a Grimes track to me.

Wish she would create more pieces like Sagrad and Skin, contrary to the more generic streamlined kind it seems she's aiming for.

I feel that this new album will attract very polarizing views.

Streamlined Grimes is best Grimes [2] though.

Scream is pretty shit but loved Flesh Without Blood.

Grimes.
Give it a bit of plink plonk plink, helium vox, 80s pop with j-pop bits and pieces, throw in drugs, hipsterishness, aloof attitude augment it with stylish cover art and you're on a winner love.

She's better with half of that stuff taken out which is why her straight up pop jams are better.

It's alright, there's nothing to be taken from it other than a few seconds of mindless distraction. It's the musical equivalent of a child's toy.

Probably. The difference is I don't do it consciously.

I'm just saying the point you're trying to make is asinine and makes you sound like a total hipster dipshit.



Plus, I could write sarcastic descriptions like that for literally 90% of everyone's favorite artists and particularly anything that has to do with indie - the genre where every vocalist comes from the same boring high pitched whiny hivemind.

I totally agree Wolfy dude. I wasn't making a point though, I'm just offering personal opinion on a particular album that conveys specific themes.

Which is dodgy ground around these parts.
