CrimsonArkEver since she covered Big Black’s “Kerosene” live in 2011 and the subsequent cataclysmic 7” split “Krokodil”/”Grot,” fans have known that some evil lurked in Clark’s guitar. (Take it back even further if you like: This is someone whose college noise band was named Skull F***ers.) On All Born Screaming—the first half, at any rate—that lacerating aggression possesses a St. Vincent album for the first time, unleashing a reeling thrash laced with the formative DNA of Albini at his most corrosive and the ugly, spectacular catharsis of Nine Inch Nails, and opening up a brand new fracture in her songwriting. “It’s my least funny record,” says Clark with knowing wryness.

im getting what i want.
Feb 29CrimsonArkDescriptors of some tracks:
“Flea” has Grohl on drums and features a Yes influenced prog section
The opener “Hell is Near” is Portishead inspired
“So Many Planets” feat. Foo Fighters’ new drummer John Freese
The closer “All Born Screaming” is 7 minutes long and bass heavy
“All Born Screaming” (the title) refers to babies being born.
Album is musically split in two, first half aggressive, second half is more expansive and grandiose.
idk if the opener or closer finna be crazier

More song descriptions:
• “Violent Times” sounds like an elegant, lost Bond theme
• “Flea” is described as being both lyrically and musically “gross”.
• “Reckless” is drenched in electronics.

whats ur ranking

whats ur ranking
1. S/T
2. Masseduction
3. Strange MercyDon’t know how popular of an opinion this is, but I always felt like SM drops off in the second half, Dilettante is the only track I think is really on par with the first half (Chloe in the Afternoon to Strange Mercy).

That snippet of Flea gives me rougher, more distorted Strange Mercy vibes.
