I forget that this is literally one of the greatest things ever created, then i listen to it and im like “oh yeah.” Once a year it’s like hearing it for the first time

I feel you brother. Absolutely astonishing album. It's my #2 all time, some days I think it's #1.

I feel it too. Simply opening this thread has given me the burning desire to hear it again, but a little patience always enhances the experience. I never take the decision to put this on lightly

Divers or HOOM disc 1. are more everyday Newsom's when you need a fix

When i first got really into got album a few years ago, there was a week where 3 times my gf came home from work and i was cranking only skin on the living room speakers. She is a huge joanna fan but was like... you have to stop. Too intense for post work/pre dinner music

Haha i feel you. I think i must have heard this album at least 30 times because it has remained in roatation in my car on cd for a long time. I have completely memorized Only Skin and the rest are not far behind. ❤️ But i could never introduce this music to my friends. 💔

Only Skin might legitimately be the greatest song of all-time (for once, I am not exaggerating)

Wish I could enjoy her music on Spotify. I just refuse to have multiple streaming platforms. I'll play her ad-free on youtube from time to time, but never on the go sadly =[

do ppl not pirate anymore? still buy physical music and go to shows in person when you can.... but like, pirating is still fine? most stuff that isn't on spotify you can buy directly from the artist



I don't understand allocating all of your music spending budget to an objectively bad company. it would be like if I refused to go to concerts that I couldn't buy tickets for on ticketmaster.



maybe i'm a boomer but I still have a massive collection of digital music that I keep adding to. I don't use my ipod anymore but I still manually load music on to my phone. techincally an artist gets more money if I listen to them on spotify rather than stealing their music, but it's like pennies that they get in royalties from spotify. i give artists my money directly when I think their art is good.



that comment was supposed to be a joke and now i'm word-vomitting on two seperate threads about spotify lmao

I honestly don't even know if I could add pirated music to my Iphone. They're pretty stupid about not allowing anything other than their proprietary crap to be allowed on their products.

Spotify has the most content in one place. They don't pay artists enough? Neither do record labels. I'm not a fan of it, but I'm just a broke af consumer lol; I'll take convenience and reasonable pricing where I can get it.

I used to have a huge digital library, but my computer crashed AND my external hard drive. Was a big hit, and then I was like alright well, fuck digital media, let's go physical, but that's obv not very realistic these days

So glad I got off streaming. Downloaded an mp3 player called Doppler, and now I’m not overwhelmed with music, I just have shit I really love curated to one spot. Feels like the good ol days. 🌞

zak pretty sure the first song is about her relationship with her sister and how she told her whole family about her abortion.



Weird pigeonhole to put this in after 2 minutes. Definitely not for everyone but being so reductive about such a layered album is weird to me.



Gyro yeah i get it. Just i guess I'm interacting with the reality that spotify unfortunately cornered the music listening market somehow and it is sad.

"I honestly don't even know if I could add pirated music to my Iphone."

as a completely tech-unsavvy millennial who begrudgingly accepts the digital age where absolutely necessary, but cannot be actually arsed to learn how to use it properly... it's not that difficult (tedious yes, especially if your PC / laptop or whatever sucks, but the iPhone thing is a complete non-issue)
