dentalplan Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 It’s a selection of tracks that didn’t fit into other albums and plays like it but not in a bad way. There’s no overarching theme or headspace, just tunes. Does make it that bit more accessible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a great shout actually, not unlike Ryan Adam's Demolition album which was a similar put together effort. Also agree with CalGon that, at least on first listen, it's preferable to Chemtrails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCountryGirl Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 For me, NFR! is still the pinnacle, but I already far prefer BB to Chemtrails. I'm so glad that Nectar of the Gods and Cherry Blossom are unchanged. Really never thought they'd appear on an album and here they both are!

Matt42 Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 Is there no chance she’s back? Ngl I really was looking forward to her. I think she’s going to be a bit of a myth on the touring circuit though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapple12345 Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 Fantastic album, I think I prefer it to Chemtrails but Born to Die will always be my favourite. Also Arcadia is easily one of my songs of the year, absolutely stunning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately she just did an instagram live chat a few hours ago and said she wasn't touring. Obviously doesn't rule it out for the future entirely, but 😔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 She'll tour again. The year before the thing she did a European festival run and a US tour, which featured lots of special guests and stuff. She's really not shy of playing shows - I guess finding the right time at the moment is all it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing they have a massive tombola they use to select this week's "20 Best By..." artist and he just gets lumped with whatever comes out.

I know who he is, and I find myself disagreeing with most of his reviews. Same with Peter Bradshaw on films. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
