Overall, not a great new direction for Annie. A couple compelling ballads and some interesting songwriting here and there, but beyond that I'm alternating between being bored or just not feeling the weird distorted synth sound that everyone is trying to use these days.

It's a shame because it almost seems like her skills as a songwriting thing have improved a bit, but there's just too much "Hey guys look at this new thing I'm doing" and too little quality songwriting for me to really get into this one.

MASSEDUCTION is an unexpected turn for St. Vincent into more electronic territory, but she most definitely succeeds due to her consistently impressive lyricism, her peerless vocals and her exceptional songcrafting ability, irrespective of genre. Annie Clark is a true talent and this record, easily one of the best of the year, deserves to be heard by the widest audience possible.

Hate her or love her, you can't deny she's doing something special with each new release.

This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.

Took me a little while to process as a whole, but after several listens I think this is her most complete and artistic work to date.

I'm a fan of Annie, I really am- but I don't see the appeal of this album. Any edge she had on her previous work feels dulled with the foregrounding of electronic sounds.

Great chaotic pop. St Vincent is always evolving while staying true to herself. I admire that.

I love St. Vincent , she's a true artist
