All Born Screaming

by

St. Vincent

Overall was definitely a fan of 3/4 of this record. "Hell is Near" through "Big Time Nothing" did a great job of being playful with many signature sounds of rock, from NIN vibes on "Broken Man" to a more current post-punk sound on "Bit Time Nothing". However, enter the back half of the record and pace slows down, relying on the strength of her lyricism alone, which makes them much more hit-or-miss than the days of Strange Mercy. Definitely satisfied overall with her musical and personal exploration on this record. Very solid.

Broken Man draws my thoughts immediately to Nine Inch Nails.

Sweetest Fruit sounded like a Kent (Swedish rock band) song.

The Power’s Out was a poetic song, and the lyrics were really strong.

A St. Vincent/Ethel Cain collab would go SO hard.

Wonderfully self produced with absolute head banger singles. Flea is probably my favorite St. Vincent song of all time.

Front half hits so heavy while the back half is a little sleepy for my tastes, but an incredibly solid record nonetheless.
