KiCk i! This was the first Arca album I was able to follow the promotional run with, coming after her release of @@@@@, which by the way is an extremely good mix that people should stream even though it is 62 minutes long! I will say the singles going into this album, at least Nonbinary and time were leading me to believe this project as a whole was gonna be Arca's first fully English album, which lowkey kinda worried me tho??? Not saying that Arca couldn't totally rock an English album, but I stanned the Spanish singles far more than the English ones that dropped.
N E ways, here's the ranking. If you disagree, Oops!
===GOD TIER===
1. KLK ft. ROSALÍA
2. Calor
3. Mequetrefe
===AMAZING===
4. La Chíqui ft. SOPHIE
5. La Queda Nada
6. Machote
===REALLY GOOD===
7. Afterwards ft. Björk
8. Time
===GOOD===
9. Nonbinary
10. Watch ft. Shygirl
11. Rip the Slit
===I USED TO LIKE THEM BUT THEN I LISTENED TO THE 100 REMIX OF THE SONG AND I LOWKEY CAN'T STAND IT BUT IT'S STILL OK AS A TRACK JUST DON'T STREAM ALL THE REMIXES AT ONCE/10===
12. Riquiquí
NOTES:
- I need a full album of Arca and ROSALÍA. ROSALARCA?
- Calor and La Queda Nada are 2 solid love ballads for Carlos (Arca's partner), with Calor being a front runner for sure.
- La Chíqui is probably the most underrated song on this album. It's by far the best English track on here.
- I think I loved Afterwards before Arca's verse. It doesn't sour the track as a whole, but it did kinda drop it a few spots for me.
- Honestly, Nonbinary being 9th yet I know all the words shows how good an album this is y'all.
- Riquiquí notes are in the placement.
