Rated 8/10
This album brought an industrial rock feel in some parts, other songs more dreamy and airy, and some songs that leaned into the dance/electronica style. Overall thought it was very good. Broken Man was the favorite track.
Rated 8/10
Not my favorite St. Vincent album but all of her albums kick ass so I'm happy to see some representation for her here regardless. I love how dark and brooding this album is. It's borderline industrial at points. You can really hear the Nine Inch Nails influence.
Rated 6/10
This is my first St Vincent album (though I was aware of her prior) and I'm a little bit surprised, I expected this to be a bit artsier, but this is actually quite danceable, and seems to take a lot of inspiration from 80s new wave rock music. There's an undercurrent of industrial and dance on these tracks, personally I prefer it when the songs are heavier and rockier, but there's good pop hooks here which pulls all the genres together quite nicely.
She performs quite a lot of stuff on the album, so she's clearly very talented. I'm surprised Dimery wasn't all over her earlier, a talented multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter that peforms primarily rock music? He loves that!
Should it be in the list: A moot point since it's going to be included in the 2026 edition of the book. I think St. Vincent deserves something but I don't know if this should be the one, it reads like the creator righting past wrongs.
Top 3 songs: Broken Man, Flea, Violent Times
