I agree. Each had been a monster. And they keep getting better, too. I've listen to the first two at least 50 times each (conservative estimate) and I think I like them more over time.VinylGuy wrote:these three singles have been really really good

Not grabbing me. Too busy. Of course I'll give it a few more listens.
I should add that the singles didn't move me so hopes weren't high.

I think this could be finally the album i was expecting from her, funky and badass. Pay Your Way In Pain reminds me both of Prince and Bowie with a mix between the best Beck.

I tend to be overly previous with first listens. And I'm leaving to go to the Catskills for a weekend away. Which means I probably won't listen to this until Monday at the earliest. The vinyl should be here Tuesday. So I might wait until then.

Re: Try to Write You a Love Song - A St. Vincent Thread
On my first listen now, just bought it from my local record store.
I kinda stayed away from the singles, Ive only seen the SNL performances. Those two songs are 2 of the highlights of the record.
This is another great, great record by Annie. I already know Ill spin this a lot over the next few months. However, I don't think it's her best record. Actor, Strange mercy, S/t and Masseduction are all better imho. I would place slightly above two other great records 'Marry Me' and 'Love this Giant'. But I do think I will play this a lot, it's very welcoming and easy listening! Great stuff!

Re: Try to Write You a Love Song - A St. Vincent Thread
Decided not to be precious.
I made it through Someone Like Me. The rest will have to wait as I'm on my way out the door.
But what I've heard so far... This thing is a masterpiece. So many thoughts! So many feelings! Can't wait to dive in more when I've heard the whole thing.
Potential to be my favorite STV record.

The vocal fx are pretty cool, they are here for the theatrics and it works.
