People turn the TV on, it looks just like a window,

Annie Clark’s “Yeah” in “Digital Witness” predated Billy Ellis “Bad Guy” Duh” by 5 years , just saying

I agree with other comments referring to the front half of this album being much better than the second half although closer “Severed Crossed Fingers” is pretty awesome

The best album from one of our times most important artists, who’s is also an underrated guitar maestro ( if you don’t believe me check out any live performance on YouTube)

Grande álbum de pop! Os elementos artísticos a a guitarra são fantásticos!

Of all her albums this one sounds the most forced. It all has to be so arty and in-your-face which just really doesn’t match with her voice. She somewhat lacks the theatrical qualities of Madonna to mark a change in the music and/or theme with her vocals too. There are some points where she clearly tries (“Huey Newton”), but again: forced.

Annie Clark, a.k.a. St. Vincent, has consistently delivered quality throughout her career, and on this self-titled album she sharpens her music's edges to near perfection. In her review for Pitchfork, Lindsay Zoladz writes, "St. Vincent continues Clark's run as one of the past decade's most distinct and innovative guitarists, though she's never one to showboat. Her harmonic-filled style bears the influence of jazz (she picked up a lot of her signature tricks from her uncle, the jazz guitarist Tuck Andress) and prog rock, two genres known to embrace sprawl. But Clark's freak-outs are tidy, modular and architecturally compact—like King Crimson rewritten by Le Corbusier." That's a very fine summary of what this album does well, and it's truly enjoyable to hear an artist in peak form, as Clark is on just about every track here.
