Been listening to it for the morning, it's pretty good, will make my 2020 chart somewhere for now anyway, I feel it's relatively on par with the rest of her work, so yeah, think that covers my thoughts so far. _________________
I've listened to it once, pretty drunk and somewhat distracted, so I'll give it more spins before forming a more decisive opinion. I do think it needs a few days to let the initial rush of a new Apple release die down a bit, I have to admit few artists can make a new release feel like a big event anymore like Fiona, don't think anything similar has happened since maybe Science Fiction (derp). And I guess Pitchdork still giving something a perfect score is like electing the friggin' Pope of albums. Still, it will be interesting to see how it all holds up a couple months from now.
My dissenting opinion is that it's the best thing I've ever heard from Apple, but I have no idea how some albums seem to get immediate universal acclaim. I keep hearing words like dissonance and Tom Waits floating around this album every where I go, which is baffling on several levels to me. I guess if you want to call it dissonance in comparison to other things that she has made? Seems like hyperbole to me.
It's the best thing I've heard this year, and better than her 2012 record, which is the only one I've heard. Is it 10/10? After 2 listens it's pretty hard to say, but I don't think it'll become one of my favourites ever. Her last record landed somewhere in the middle of my 2010s chart, this one will probably be top 50 of the decade (wild guess), but that's not a 10/10 for me. So great? Yeah. Impeccable? Not really. Tom Waits is better. _________________ Overall chart Fake overall chart
It's great! A total art pop gem. I don't know Apple too well, but now I'll definitely dive further into her discography. She's never clicked with me before, but I really like this and can see why it's getting all this (well deserved) hype.
Let's not get distracted by one critic comparing it to Waits. That dude's just an idiot. 🤣
Now someone go check out my music diary! 🙏🤣

I can see the Tom Waits connection, but I didn't get that kind of feeling from the album. It feels too much like its own sound. Besides, I enjoyed that album more than I enjoyed anything by Tom Waits. _________________ Do it yourself and let me play my music: https://www.besteveralbums.com/thechart.php?c=61802
