I didn’t know anyone thought Madonnawhore was better than this. NGW4M is alright but cmon. And I love Phobos but this is slightly better.

this did grow, but I still think I prefer Madonnawhore slightly more than this... if I remember correctly, they have quite different and distinct vibes though

TAtS definitely has more striking instrumentation, I cannot deny that - but I feel the lyricism and vocal delivery isn't as mellow and intimate as Madonnawhore. I'm absolutely in love with The Scarlet Whore/Her Dealings with the Initiate



Also to heck with you, N.G.H.4.M. is glorious

Madonnawhore is cool but this is much more sonically interesting and emotional. NGH4M isn’t even an album, it’s just a good long song, and a bit repetitive.

Madonnawhore is good for late night walking, and perfect for laying on the couch with the lights off, blissing

I actually really love NGH4M, but it's hard to compare to Madonnawhore when it's so much shorter. They both have distinct vibes and are all 4/5 or higher for me, with this (TAtS) being my favorite. New LP by Alora Crucible is also excellent, but not sure yet if I like it more than this. Need more time. So stoked for new Kayo Dot next month (another new single next week)

Agreed on The Knot, what a spellbinding end to a gorgeous record.
