Quite possibly my least favorite song she's ever released. Just so grating. It rebounds a bit at the end, but that chorus -- yuck.

Yeah not a fan of this one. Not sure why I listened, I told myself I'd wait until the record drops.

This song is a testament to the Harmony of Difference.

I like this quite a bit, though of the released tracks, my favorite is actually New York; that's a far cry from my first listen to that song, as I wasn't crazy about it initially.

I think I like this one.

I posted the a live version of it a while back. I didn't listen to that version and I'm not listening to this one either. I'll have the full album in three days. I can wait.

Bummed to hear that it's getting such a tepid response. But chewn likes it, and he has great taste. Also, you ding-dongs haven't liked any of these songs yet and I love the two I've heard. So, I guess there's hope in that.

THREE DAYS!

I actually enjoyed this one a lot. Of the songs I've heard, I'd rank them as:

Los Ageless
Pills
New York

I found "Pills" to be pretty humorous, and a pretty spot on commentary that hits really close to a lot of family and friends I have

With the new tour dates announced today I’ll get to see her in San Francisco in January! I’m beyond excited!

Also, I broke down and listened to Los Ageless and it was amazing!

Oh the piano version of NY is the definitive one. She sounds great...so sad and beautiful.

Thanks for posting that, TVG. I'll watch it after the album drops.

You can watch it now Joe. Its NY in piano version. Its a beautiful version.

By the way, Pills is awesome man. Different. Thats what i wanted. Hell even the piano version of NY is different...im thinking that jack guy ruined the demo Annie had.

You should listen to the Song Exploder podcast episode about New York.

I love Pills. Seriously, it might immediately be one of my favorite St. Vincent songs ever. It sounds like future pop now in the same way that Sexy Back did when it first dropped; and then that epic outro!

This song slays.

Pills sounds like this:

her delivery in the chorus reminds me of Lily Allen
