Actually, I take what I said back! This might be the album of the year for me too actually! I understand this album completely now, after reading about her undergoing that operation and how she looked up to Mary Magdalene, and about her past relationship with Robert Pattinson! I listened closely to the lyrics too and......here is just a bit on how I feel!
You know, when I heard the song “Home With You”, I liked it for its schizophrenic quality, with her sounding poignant and twitching in the first bars of the verse, then sounding like she’s turning into an evil, bitter witch wanting revenge, then out of nowhere on the chorus, sounding mournful, angelic and affectionate. But then I listened to the album properly and that song made me cry when I really understood the tones and lyrics. And then “Sad Day” came on, and I had goosebumps. Hearing the delicate, raw, untouched, virgin-like piano ballad “Cellophane” in the context of this album was overwhelming! The amount of grief, purity, and desperation in her voice had me really pulled back! The stirring, swelling, sickening aesthetic of the song and FKA’s honest, touching lyrics had me actually crying!
Last time I’ve cried was Frank Ocean’s Blonde when I heard Self-Control and White Ferrari, but in a sense, they were tears of joy because of how happy I was. With these FKA Twigs tracks, I felt like the tears were not only because they are touching songs, but because FKA Twigs is such a strong woman and she looked to Mary Magdalene for strength and she pulled through all the pain mentally and physically and created something so special!
I cannot wait to hear MAGDALENE on vinyl now! It’s quickly becoming one of my favourite albums of the year!♥
It is going to be really high up there for me as well! I loved the idea of fka twigs as an artist, but she never really delivered musically for me before this album. It's really beautiful from start to finish. I love the production from Nicolas Jaar and others. I didn't get the VMP version, but my red indie pressing sounds fantastic, especially for such a modern pro-tools sounding record.

Will your plane have Wi-Fi?
lol I'm sure it will but there's nothing worth paying $20 or whatever it is to get. I'd turn my phone off airplane mode to snag it before I did that.

Those with Christmas In Soulsville...is is still a Rainbo pressing?
with S-92434 / S-92435 in the runouts?
I don't remember my retail black being all that bad - it was cut by Anne-Marie Suenram, who cuts a lot for Waxwork and I have no issues with her cuts.
Just curious if this is just a repressing.
nm...saw the store page.
TL; DR - it is.
More Edit --- TWENTY SEVEN BUCKS!!!???
I guess I'm quite happy with by $19.99 Amazon purchase.
