The next two tracks, “Gentleman” and “M’Lady,” go hand-in-hand in speaking to a toxic ideal the character has formulated of themselves. You really can’t make this stuff up, but the blending of all these elements to make a subversive message pull through is what’s most profound about “My Agenda.” In some ways, it’s a love letter to songs like “Macho Man” and “YMCA.” It’s an anthemic hit with chugging guitar for a chorus, operatic Village People fills, and Pussy Riot singing in Russian. This song is littered with humorous lyricism and plays into the panic many sects of the hegemonic hetero sphere feel yet are totally unaware of just as Village People successfully implemented years prior. Hailing from Village People ilk of yore with their mainstream hits that were secretly queer espionage in disguise, Electra harnesses that energy to detail just how they are going to turn all of the frogs gay. It’s quite possibly the most oddball song of the whole bunch thanks to features from Pussy Riot and Village People which, just like this album as a whole, is a mixture you wouldn’t think works as incredibly well as it does. It’s not a betrayal towards the world, but more so one giving up on all their surroundings and making room for complacent apathy.įrom d0llywood1’s verse to Electra’s unleashing of The Garden for their manic, howling spree atop percussion reminiscent of the duo’s recent release, Kiss My Super Bowl Ring, “F the World” is like the last cry for help from the Flamboyant era we once knew before it all gives way to the rest of the album.Įmerging from there, the title track is quite literally written out to us, so I hope you’re taking notes. Ok, maybe the latter is just me.Įlectra gets lost in the thunderous chorus with only the slurs and pants of their voice slipping through to our ears. By the time the chorus hits, the walls are shaking and my teeth are falling out. “If you can’t beat them, join them.” This is the prophecy of inceldom and the beginning of the slippery slope presented in the album’s first track, “F the World.”Ī digital bass slaps beneath chiming keys reigning in Electra’s voice for just about the only clear part of the song where their voice is distinguishable from the mounting instrumental.
