    Very disappointed. Expected better

    3artsy5me. www I bask in the brilliance of FKA Twigs. Her wonderful combination of hip-hop and electronica is simply ART. Do you see the cover ART? That is ART. She is an ARTist. Do you see that she is too ARTistic to even spell "Melissa"? That is ART. Has anyone ever noticed how anyone reviewing anything by FKA Twigs talks about how said album

    Has anyone ever noticed how anyone reviewing anything by FKA Twigs talks about how said album is "art" and then reiterate about how its "art" and it's artistic merits.. We should be able to listen and judge for ourselves rather than having how artistic it is hammered in our heads several times. Y'all should write for Pitchfork! Lol

    For real though, M3LL155273627187236726182X (3artsy5me) is just simply more of the same from one of the most overrated pop singers out at the moment. She tries so hard to be seductive and artsy, but she always comes off as a try-hard. There isn't much here that you haven't already heard in LP1 (another overrated album of hers). Uses some autotune here and there as well. I don't understand the hype behind this singer, to be honest.

    The vocals still send chills down the spine and everything becomes more grand and obtuse with every song. FKA twigs is striking, stunning weird and if her debut album assured that, this follow-up only strengthened her case.

    The effect of the album is soothing and challenging all at once; full of complex messaging yet equally suitable as backdrop for studying; worthy of lingering concentration on each and every note or dozing off to on an airplane.

    Here twigs sounds even more poised and self-assured.
