NDA is wonderful.
I liked them all but when NDA came out in combination with the video I had the same thought after watching it that I'd had after "Everything I Wanted" -- masterpiece
her lyrics are dark, creepy and hardhitting but witty and light as a feather too
yeah, i agree. Im also a big fan of Happier Than Ever. I love it. Male Fantasy is another great one.
this version of NDA with the drums kicking in heavy at the end is fire
NDA is my favorite on the album. and this version is amazing. I love how she goes a higher register on the second refrain.
yeah, it's absolutely fantastic
Anthony Fantano's review of this really pissed me off, what a pretentious joke
This has been a solid year for music. My top 10 albums are all more or less interchangeable. It's impossible to really rank them. On any given day, each one is my favorite record of the year. There's no far and away, stand out, absolutely #1 for me yet. Which is wild.

The Billie Eilish album, meanwhile, is really good. The fade-out at the end of "Billie Bossa Nova" made me realize how much fade-outs have fallen out of fashion in modern pop, it felt so foreign

The production on this album is amazing
Some of it reminds me of massive attack
Sometimes I wanna drive around and find you
And act like it's a random thing

Of the 2 songs I've heard so far the Taylor Swift one makes me yawn (she does that with uncanny regularity with me) but loving this track with Anais Mitchell, Latter Days:
