But I get it, it's too much for you. I can digest this album in the same way that I can even tolerate (and enjoy) a band like Nails with their heavy aggressive sound and rawness.

Kick 1 show us who she is and what she brings Kick 2 is the take over, where the mutants organize to change the paradigms Kick 3 is pure fire, burn to the ground to renaissance Kick 4 is the accomodation and installation of this new future, alienated languages with songs that empower And kick 5 is the last hours of the celebration, there's peace, there's hope and we have this new guide, Arca as Maria Lionza

    The lyrics paint an image of child birth too which my poetry professor pointed out to me. While it’s obviously sexual the lines “how could she flip it all upside down” or “she wears her crown” (crowning in pregnancy) or “how could it fit inside a body so petite”. Makes sense that the KiCk series concludes with the birth. Can’t believe he didn’t like that track.

I’m not even one of those ppl who really pays it all that much mind and even I know the difference between a trans woman and a non binary person. You can’t be both, non binary means you don’t identify as any gender and trans woman means you are biologically a male who identifies as female. You can’t identify as a female and also identify as not having a gender at all, surely you posses the cognitive power to figure that one out.

    Fantastic commentary on the series - thank you. Personally, knowing where Arca is in her transition, the kinda reverse entropy of the whole project (moving towards minimalism as layers of overwhelming texture are gradually stripped away) really synthesises what it has meant for me to start my own medical transition, finding serenity from within the mutation. This made iiiii (5) the most impactful instalment for me by virtue of its culminant nature. But as the whole thing is an undulating constellation this doesn't necessarily make it the 'best' in my mind either - the work isn't so linear. the whole thing is a shattered and reconstituted snapshot of a living being, from the primal kick of a foetus to the final Lazarus reflex of death.

    You gave them much higher scores than I was expecting lol. Pleasantly surprised though. Me personally, I wouldn’t rate any of the kicks anything lower than a 9. I’ve been a huge Arca fan for a bit so it’s really hard for her to ever make something I don’t love. 3 is my favorite as well, but 4 is my second favorite because of its beauty and softness. It engages me in the same way a Tirzah album would if that makes sense. Colourgrade is another one of my favorites this year and I had it on repeat for a good while. It’s music you don’t have to think too hard about, and I love that type of stuff sometimes. Songs like Witch and Altar are ones I’ve been coming back to often.

    You had me at Yasssthony Queentano. While I agree Kick iii is the best, I gotta say Prada/Rakata might be Arca's best in my opinion. She really fed us. Besides being visonary in music, she also is in visuals. The music videos and covers just add to the whole thing.

    Listening through these albums reminded me a lot of going through Brockhampton's Saturation trilogy the first time. Not musically or anything, just that there's some amazing musical ideas scattered all over the place on these, as with those, and the simple fact that so much work and so many unique sounds and ideas were created in such a short time is incredible. Huge props to Arca for showing love for the craft.

    love this review anthony but i do not get at all how you think kick ii had no focus. even if you don't understand the lyrics, which obviously tell you about the theme for the album, the style is pretty cohesive? the intro is a bit off, but it foreshadows the second half of the album that is more sinister and experimental, with the first half being reggaeton bangers, and each track transitions into the other pretty incredibly for how stark the difference between the two halves are.
