Yes, indeed, she is very lovely. Pretty tipsy at a bar in this very small town once about a year ago I played Birth in Reverse on the loud jukebox and people seemed pretty annoyed by it... I guess they wanted more 'free bird' and the like

I agree with a lot of these (except most of Masseduction). But Pills might honestly be my favorite St. Vincent song, I love it so much.

It's grown on me a lot. I adore the second half of the song. I can totally see it gaining as it ages.

And for the record, I don't dislike any of her songs.

Best songs from the latest are Hang On Me, Masseduction, Los Ageless, New York, Happy Birthday Johnny and Slow Disco.

The ending of Pills is fucking A too.

Yeah, its my new favorite St. Vincent album, for sure.

Not too Happy about the new tour, though. I can't get over her making band members wear full masks, or the way she has rearranged some songs.

Her recent solo tour was pretty amazing, even with all the backing tracks.

Count me among the number who view Masseduction as their favorite St. Vincent album. The only track I can't get a handle on is "Pills". Some days I love how poppy it is, and other days I find it grating and skip it. Completely bi-polar when it comes to that track.

I like Masseduction a lot, but for me it's not on the level of Strange Mercy & S/T as a full album. Despite Los Ageless being an all-time song. Pumped that I get to see her again in less than a month (albeit in an opening band slot)

Current Top 10:
1. Cruel
2. Los Ageless
3. Digital Witness
4. Marrow
5. Surgeon
6. Your Lips Are Red
7. Bring Me Your Loves
8. Strange Mercy
9. Save Me From What I Want
10. Happy Birthday Johnny
