could anyone provide their ranking of the songs? i'd just love to see how someone thinks they all measure up against the singles... i'm still refraining from listening and it's so painful

It’s really difficult for some of them, because there is no bad song per sé.

My ranking would look something like this:
1. I Love You But I Love Me More
2. Ancient Dreams In A Modern Land
3. Highly Emotional People
4. Venus Fly Trap
5. Flowers
6. Man’s World
7. New America
8. Purge The Poison
9. Pandora’s Box
10. Goodbye

My top 3 - Venus Fly Trap, Highly Emotional People, New America. 

Other great ones - ADIAML,  Man's World, I Love You But I Love Me More. The rest I just have to get more into. 

Sugar, spice, and everything nice.

It would be very hard to make a ranking for me right now, mostly because I appreciate the songs in a different way, for example Highly Emotional People is the best song in terms of emotions it brings, but I wouldn't call it my favorite. The singles are surely superior to the rest of the album, but I'd say Venus Fly Trap, New America (especially the part near outro, Froot-like backing vocals :flutter:) and I Love You But I Love Myself More are extremely catchy as well!

I'd rather wait a week to post a complex opinion about this record but all I can say is that I really, REALLY like it. It's her 3rd best album to me. The production is what shines about this album :cryga:

Also, what I appreciate from short albums is that they usually tend to be cohesive and skipless, and this ain't the exception. Not single track I dislike! :vegas:

Favorites by the moment:

1. Venus Fly Trap aka the best song

2. Flowers

3. I Love You But I Love Me More

4. Purge the Poison

(just my two cents in by the way. I’m pretty sure the order will alternate as I dive deeper into this record. the bottom ones are just those I resonated less with at first time hearing, but they’re still great! The replay value here is huge, trust me. I don’t blame u waiting for the official drop because it’s worth it.)

Vinyls are available on her store - pre order - available Feb 2022 though :deadbanana:

These pressing plants are B O O K E D. Poor Marina. At least they’re cheap! I’ll definitely be getting the clear one but I hope they’re not really just unicolor with no label on the record

Religion is a product to sell.

Yeah, I remember reading somewhere that one of the major vinyl pressing plants burned down or something so it’s down to the last one or two?  that’s probably why chromatica didn’t get a cover initially :rip: 

I’d imagine they will be unicolor but will have a label - im probably going to hold off and wait til I hear the album in full and see if other variants come out :shrug: I don’t want to miss this like I did with Froot :cryga:
