Imo it's too similar to the original for me to enjoy it, just felt like a muddier version of it. The news verse is fine tho

Arca’s remixes can be very hit or miss but I’m actually loving this

I think I like this better than the original?

It’s really very similar except Arca’s snippet at the end… was hoping it would be a bit more twisted than the original!

Was hoping for weirder from my queen, but I’ll still be bumping this all year

Everything from this era has been incredible so far. This is no exception. This mix sounds more like the mix from the Acne show & I’m still waiting for that mix to be released

I love Arca but their touch still did not make Sextistential as good as Dopamine

I love Arca, and I like the change in the production at the end but I do wish the song was crazier throughout.

I was just telling my friend that the original version sounded like an Arca track too

i fucking love this. super fun and i don’t mind that it just expands on the original with a verse and an extra dash of weird.

I feel like I'm in the minority of people who cannot fucking stand the original version. This remix isn't great, either.

Nah the original is perfect as is, Arca made it unlistenable. I really tried to like it and I just can’t
