As much as I love the self-titled record (and I fucking LOVE it)... sandwiched between Strange Mercy and Masseduction, it has the feel of a compilation or best of album. I don't mean that as a knock per se, but it's so much less cohesive than the work immediately before and after. Weird. I don't think I noticed that until tonight.

"I've seen America with no clothes on."

Does she mean herself or America? Which one is naked? Does it matter?

It's an amazing song. Really, There isn't a sub-par song on Strange Mercy. It's a great record, front to back.

Like, I respect that many fans don't think of Love This Giant as a "proper" St. Vincent record. I do. I get it. But FUCk it's good. Whatever you want to call it, I call it gripping, fun and welcome.

I think this might be my favorite record of hers at this point, most of the songs are excellent, the first 6 on my ranking are amongst my favorite things she's ever done. I really dislike Young Lover though.

Pills
Smoking Section
Hang On Me
Slow Disco
Masseduction
Los Ageless
Sugarboy
Fear the Future
Happy Birthday, Johnny
Savior
New York
Dancing With a Ghost
Young Lover
