CEREMONY || Miss Anthropocene

[Chromatica 7,039]

I generally agree with most of the rankings so far, which is unusual for me. We stan a group with taste.  

[Chromatica 7,039]

I have a feeling the rest will be very close, with the exception of Idoru and maaaaybe 4æm.

@bowie1986 When I heard the first snippet, I thought this would be my favorite Grimes song ever. When I heard the demo, I absolutely hated the song as I felt the "kiss kiss kiss kiss" effect and the lyrics to be cringe. However, now I can appreciate the electric bass and drums high in the mix, along with the general mood of the character she is playing. 

@tomsches Best song on the album! Been listening to it nonstop since its release!

@Andreu Actually, this is the first Grimes song I listened (well, I can't be sure but at least it's the song that made me want to get into her). I heard this on a NMF playlist the day the albun dropped and it caught my interest, and that's what made me want to listen to the album. Musically it's one of my favourite songs, and the lyrics touch my soul like very few songs can touch it.

@ororo munroe Such a fun pop song

@GayPrideUnicorn I love the attitude in the chorus. Living for this kinda industrial pop type of sound.

@Sestri Levante Just like My Name Is Dark, I feel like there's something missing. Still an incredible song. 

@littlefreaksterThe lyrics are so good. As Gaga would say, amazing, brilliant, never-the-same...

@adterp I first took the song too literally and it triggered me, when it could actually be more like an anthem for situations where anybody has upset you. I'm fine with it being less than 3 minutes, as I find it very repetitive and flat (as in no progression, no variation in intensity). I'm not vibing with the voice effects either. Maybe I don't quite enjoy brighter (in sound) Grimes, maybe I should consider it as an interlude. This is the track I skip the most but it might grows on me. 

@Ctouf I gave 'You'll miss me when I'm not around' a 10 because even though the song might sound like it's an OK track with no real deep meaning, it actually has one of the deepest and darkest storytellings of the album. The intro is.... ughhhhh! 'last call, you'll miss me when i'm not around'. Dope.

@BradleyCooper Such a fun song with a cool sound. I love the lyrics. In my top 3 of the album hands down.

@Lois Griffin This song starts off great, and remains consistently strong. My favorite out of the tracks that weren’t released prior to the album. I love “cross my heart and hope to fly.”

I regret having eyes now that I have seen the level of tastelessness here 

[FfFfFfFF 56,080]

Hint: the next song is a song that is in a different direction compared to the rest of the album.

You can also just spell out "Delete Forever"

You had to put a trigger warning for Delete Forever

I never thought I'd say this, but I will throw IDORU and 4AEM under to save Black Swan Blues (never forget)

@bowie1986 This song is so pretty. I love the lyrics, I love the birds in the beginning and I love the mellotron. Her cutest song to date and the happier side of a song like "Pretty Dark." I also can't separate this song from the imagery of the lyric video, which I LOVE. 

@tomsches Cool song

@efrs291 It’s so cute and sweet love it

@ororo munroe Very beautiful track, but I always forget about it, because how much I adore other songs. But great ending to this album

@GayPrideUnicornThe pipesound in the beginning reminds me of Björk. The chorus sounds so... "open" I love it. 

@Sestri Levante I hated this song when I first heard it. But, when I got to the bottom of the message and what this track represents in the context of the album, I loved it unconditionally .mp3. The contrast it does to such a negative song like Before the fever, bringing this hopeful end to a dark story, yes I'm crying now  Amazing song. 

@littlefreakster I just hate how this song starts right after Before the fever, like, it always f**ks my ear up and I don't like that. Gives me nails-on-chalkboard vibes. 

@adterp This song makes me picture my next road-trip to a sunny place with an imaginary SO, it feels great. I like the melancholia and the brighter vibes. I prefer dark Grimes, but this one kinda changed my mind about that. While listening to it, sometimes I feel the fantasy and some other times I just can't with the writing. The bridge is heaven. 

@Ctouf This song is such a fresh air within the album! Very different sonorities with the other tracks but still interconnected. This one is so mesmerising I could listen to it on loop. I'm dying for this corona-quarantine to be over so I could get high and/or drunk while listening to this song. Must be a life-experience.

@BradleyCooper This song makes me happy for some reason, I think it’s because the production is a bit lighter than the rest of the album (with the exception of Delete Forever) Her vocals are so pretty.

@Lois Griffin Didn’t appreciate it when the album was released, but the video breathed new life into it. An adorable song. Perhaps a bit long.

It hurt to post it.
