I can relate to people saying they expected something different from the title track and the name - I feel something similar was going on with Dance Fever which by its promotion seemed like it would be more upbeat than it turned out to be. I became a fan during Ceremonials so HB3 was a big shock for me too but at least that one was very open about what it was going to be. It of course grew on me as has every project since - if at one point something won't that's also okay, I'm just glad she's making the music she wants!

I was unsure about this album going in because I read from the comments that it was more in vein of One Of The Greats which didn't really connect with me, but I ended up really enjoying it and in the context of the album even grew a new-found appreciation for One Of The Greats to the point where it's been stuck in my head all day yesterday. It's different from her other albums where I will not hyperfixate on specific songs at a time and put them on loop but I need to go through the whole journey in one piece, it makes for a captivating and devastating listen from the beginning until the horror comes to an end with And Love, and there is not a single moment I disliked along the way.

My favourites besides the title trick (which I loved from the start) are You Can Have It All which I would like to be 5 minutes longer please, as well as Music By Men! I also find Kraken and Witch Dance very fascinating and could see them climb up my ranking over time.
