I loved St. Vincent for a long time before this record, but this is the album that really felt like a turning point, and not for the better. The songwriting is fine and the focus isn't too bad, but it lacks the vibrance and consistency of both Strange Mercy and Actor--the latter of which remains one of my absolute favorite albums ever. Her s/t is still good, but it's not my favorite of hers.
Yeah this is where she stopped just writing music and became focused on myth-making, resulting in an elaborate album that sounds great on paper but is as boring and safe an "avant-garde-indie" (is that a thing?) record as one could possibly be.
