1) "I Swear, I Really Wanted to Make a 'Rap' Album but This Is Literally the Way the Wind Blew Me This Time"
A very ambient sound that paints an outdoor landscape.
2) "The Slang Word P(*)ssy Rolls Off the Tongue with Far Better Ease Than the Proper Word Vagina. Do You Agree?"
An exhausting track, that's like unpleasant ASMR at times.
3) "That Night in Hawaii When I Turned into a Panther and Started Making These Low Register Purring Tones That I Couldn't Control ... Sh¥t Was Wild"
A subtle and soft intro.
4) "BuyPoloDisorder's Daughter Wears a 3000® Shirt Embroidered"
This track is unique sounding with an eerie vibe that's like a sci-fi film.
5) "Ninety Three 'Til Infinity and Beyoncé"
There's not a lot there that's original from the prior tracks.
6) "Ghandi, Dalai Lama, Your Lord & Savior J.C. / Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, and John Wayne Gacy"
There's a lot happening in the background but it gets a bit repetitive.
7) "Ants to You, Gods to Who?"
A tiring track that sounds more like the same.
8) "Dreams Once Buried Beneath the Dungeon Floor Slowly Sprout into Undying Gardens"
There's no real defining moment on this closing track.
I get the experiment and the general nature of what Andre 3000 is trying to do, but this album leaves a lot to be desired. It gets quite repetitive and there are just no real stand out moments. (69.3)
A tranquil opening about finding oneself (relating to love); "and the internet is hungry for the meanest kind of funny".
2) Lunch
An upbeat, fun and catchy track. We find Billie being playful with her writing; "she's the headlights I'm the deer".
3) Chihiro
There is a nice beat, but I would like a bit more variance.
4) Birds Of A Feather
With a nice moving beat, this is about the early stages of a flourishing relationship; "but if it's forever, it's even better".
5) Wildflower
With an acoustic intro, the lyrics and vocals really flow together.
6) The Greatest
The vocals are powerful and the instrumentals keep it from dragging. There is a strong closing.
7) L'Amour De Ma Vie
This has a different vibe, but it's a bit 1-note backing wise before there's a switch-up. I wish the track felt more like the back half.
8) The Diner
This has a nice flow, with a French pop kind of vibe.
9) Bittersuite
With an electronic feel this has another change up halfway in; "have you underneath all of my beliefs".
10) Blue
This cleverly threads together the album; " I try to live in black and white but I'm so blue". She's rather lyrically savage on this closing track.
This is a very strong album. As I mentioned on "Blue", ultimately each track has a cohesive feel to it, flowing together in the end. I can't wait to see what she does next. (87.9)
