Red Mosquito

My god this thing is so much warmer and richer on vinyl. I'd only listened on Spotify so far. But god! I loved this thing before but now... just wow. So full and even more robust than I'd thought. Is the vinyl a different mix? Jesus. The guitar at the end of Pills??!!! Sweet Jesus!

Yes, it sounds fairly weak on the digital platforms. Even the files from the download card in the jacket & are now on my iPhone pale in comparison to the vinyl. Not a huge surprise, and I'm glad some artists are still doing separate mastering for vinyl.


After about 20-25 spins I think it's a great album, my ranking goes something like this:

1. Los Ageless
2. Happy Birthday Johnny
3. Savior
4. Smoking Section
5. Pills
6. New York
7. Dancing With a Ghost/Slow Disco (seems like 1 piece to me, very similar to We Put a Pearl in the Ground/Land Mines from Marry Me)
8. Hang on Me
9. Fear the Future
10. Masseduction
11. Young Lover
12. Sugarboy

The top 4 are already on my list of the 20-25 best tracks of her career.

Both NY and HBJ are beautiful.

This record continues to surprise and impress.

Savior makes me want to pleasure myself

I just can't get enough of that song. Seriously, Los Ageless through Fear the Future is an outstanding unfuckwithable run of excellence. 5 blistering shots of pure aural bliss.

For some reason Ive only listened to this about 3 times. I should give it more spins.

so i listened to the first minute or so of los angeles, and then listened to closer by nin. crazy how similar they sound.

seems to be an almost universal opinion that Sugarboy is the least favorite track on the album, but man i really dig that song.

the beginning of it sounds like some Devo song, then turns into a track from Prince's Batman soundtrack

Once the Prince connection clicked for me, I started to really fucking dig that song. Context made all the sense for me.

reminds me of this

It’s one of my favorites. I’m a NIN fan, so I’m a sucker for the synth intro

I still really love listening to this album

until this morning, i thought this album was called Masseducation

I thought it was right up until I heard the title track for the first time. Then it became pretty clear.
