FfFfFfFF 56,990 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 1 yhear ago, FKA twigs released her third album, a critically acclaimed techno-dance experimental record. Upon release, the album as met with critical praise, following the acclaims of her previous two albums LP1 and MAGDALENE. NME praised Eusexua for being a "cohesive and transcendent artistic experience", while AllMusic said FKA twigs "has guided listeners through a remarkably honest song cycle. The complexities are where her music thrives, and Eusexua abounds with them." Original tracklisting included masterpieces like EUSEXUA, Girl Feels Good, Room of Fools, Sticky, Keep It, Hold It, 24Hr Dog. What are your thoughts on this album? 1 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinasawachanta 3,206 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 The album is very good. The videos, the overall aesthetic. The concept. For some reason, gay people turned their backs on it, don't you think? I feel like when an artist gives us exactly what we want/are looking for, we just let them fall. Or when it becomes too “obvious” who it's aimed at... With all due respect, I think this is the case with Allie X or artists who are too devoted to their gay male audience. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very good, but it’s one of her first projects, ironically, that felt kind of overrated to me. One thing I’ve always loved about Twigs was the way that she experimented with so many different styles, sounds, and influences and EUSEXUA feels, in some instances, like a ROL reheat or just like it’s too heavily indebted to/pulling from one specific era sonically. She’s incredibly talented, but for some reason, this one just didn’t really click for me. We have forgotten our public MANNERS Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well tbh I kinda don't care about the DaGheiz That said, I kinda do share your concern as I was socked by the critical reception of Afterglow. She has always been a critical darling, especially in the 2010s (when this was a rare thing!!). Since the 2010s everybody and their mother became MORE critically acclaimed, but she was left behind to the point that her new records' reviews are basically lackluster and mixed. But her albums are still amazing pieces of work, well-crafted and studied and deserve better. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They simply take time to fully adjust. Except Caprisongs, we do not claim as an album for a reason. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it was a struggle to listen to all of them (LP1, Magdalene, Eusexua), but when they eventually click, they are so rewarding.

elsamars 5,891 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I actually like Afterglow more than Eusexua a wolf in sheep’s clothing is deadlier than an honest foe 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sneaky Oliver 22,634 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 this album is a masterpiece, not even in a stan biased way because I was never a huge fan of twigs but this album deserved a lot more recognition The pop music stans are always starving for a new iconic release but then when they finally get one, they quickly turn their back on it and say it’s overrated 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raivo 195 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I will say something that will annoy people, but to me it feels like she's trying too hard but then again, I haven't listened to the whole album. I will also change that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
