I’m not afraid to say:

Strange Mercy > Mass Education > Actor > S/T > Marry Me

I got into St Vincent last year. I Remember when Seeing the Cruel Video but not thinking much about it. I saw the album cover for S/T when it first came out here on ETS. I asked who was that?

it wasn’t until my wife said, you need to go exercise a little more last year that I went for a run and decided to finally play the shuffle on her Spotify page. It was nuts that I let it go so long not listening to her work.

inconsumed those 4 albums last year like
crazy. I really mean it. Like I’m such a super fan now. She went to number two in my Last.fm lol. In just a year.

some observations from this album:

- I do see what she means about scaling back the guitar shredding this album. Wasn’t ton necessary.
- Masseduction the song reminds me of Prince and Madonna at the same time. Still a genius song.
- I do like that she always has a song that could be an album closer for any other band not close her albums. She does this on every one of them I feel. (Slow Disco)


it it gets better with repeats. I love it.
