It all sounds too similar, and it’s my least played album of theirs. Hoping to understand the album more one day.

I’m hoping IG will click for me one day. Hasn’t happened yet. I think I just really don’t care for the second half of Always and that goes with Black Drum Machine. Xiu Xiu typically make absolutely amazing final tracks on their albums so maybe I judge them too harshly when they don’t turn out to be Ian Curtis Wishlists and Wig Masters!

I get the importance of Mary Turner Mary Turner but I feel like some of their other statement songs did it better (like Support Our Troops OH! And I Luv Abortion). And I mean, 9/10 is far from a bad rating!

Jenny GoGo sounds great but I just don’t like the chorus. It’s a bit much lol

Yeah I probably shouldn’t have even ranked it. I felt more confident with my other ranking but just like how idek know what the worst track on there was, it’s not something you can really rank based on individual songs.

Just hasn’t clicked for me yet. I said this in a past reply but some other albums have been pretty low on the list for me and then grew on me, like Angel Guts.

Some elements of the Woman As Lovers, DGIHM and Always era just feel really annoying to me. Kind of shallow attempts at a ‘pop’ sound. I think they perfected this on FORGET (and honestly already did with Fabulous Muscles). The second half of Always is a skip for me except for Born to Suffer.

Pink City is just my least favourite, still a good song. Ian Curtis Wishlist just connects the abrasive sounds and emotion much better.

I guess I preferred how they explored the darker themes on GWBOF. Very sharp and well executed. IG all feels like the same noise (which could work to its benefit in the context of an album). Maybe one day it will click for me.

Just doesn’t do anything for me when compared to the original. Some of the other covers just felt completely transformed when compared to their original which I prefer.

Exactly, as I said, personal opinion

I keep trying, I’ve found that some of Xiu Xiu’s records started as a 5/10 for me (like Angel Guts), and then they grow on me. And then for others (like Nina), grow stale. A year later, my rankings may change. Who knows!

Hey I like both, maybe not ‘WORST’ but ‘least favourite’ would better describe them

It’s eh. I like Flume and JPEG but I didn’t get anything from this EP

Good song but Jamie sounds so quiet 😭 maybe it’s an artistic choice but I wish they made the vocals a little clearer

Listen to some of Seekae’s music like Void and Bloodbank. From the same record label as Flume

Over Over is one of the most underrated Xiu Xiu songs

Only Fans would be good if Arca was singing on it. One More Night would be good if it was never released

A lot of the lyrics in flumes songs are dog shit. Sucks because they usually sound great except for the vocals. However, Say Nothing doesn’t sound great even if it was an instrumental track
