Background

On November 4, 2015, Banks released the single "Better", along with its accompanying music video. [3] Banks toured with The Weeknd for a second time, opening for him on his The Madness Fall Tour across North America from November to December 2015. [4] She announced on June 8, 2016, that she had finished work on her second album. [5] On July 29, Banks revealed that the album would be titled The Altar, along with its cover art and release date. [6]

The lead single from the album, "Fuck with Myself", was released on July 12, 2016. [7] Banks premiered the track on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 radio show, where she said it was the last song she wrote for the album. "There's so many meanings to it", she said of the song. "It could be like, 'I fuck with myself', like, 'I mess with myself more than anybody else.' It could be, 'I fuck with myself', kind of like, 'I'm feeling myself.' It means a lot of different things that I think a lot of people can relate to." [8] The album's second single, "Gemini Feed", premiered on Annie Mac's BBC Radio 1 show on August 2, 2016, [9] and was released digitally the following day. [10] "Mind Games" was released as the third single from the album on August 19, 2016, [11] followed by "To the Hilt" on September 16, 2016.

The Altar received generally positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 70, based on 17 reviews. [14] Jamie Milton of DIY magazine wrote that "when going for the jugular, BANKS combines unbending confidence, warts 'n all detail and gigantic choruses in the same move", adding that "The Altar is very close to being a razor-sharp pop blueprint." [17] George Garner of Q magazine called the album "[s]tunning", stating that "Banks has excelled at transforming accrued romantic scarring into mesmeric songcraft" and "The Altar marks a radical intensification of her talents". [22] Neil Z. Yeung of AllMusic opined that "Banks has strengthened her voice—resolutely and with increased production value—in the two years since her debut Goddess ." [15] Shahzaib Hussain of Clash viewed The Altar as "more textured and artful than Goddess, BANKS growing into her role as a writer, upholding the sensual melancholia that characterised her debut." [16]

Sputnikmusic commented that "[t]he confidence on this album is inspired, observable, and the clear result of Banks' growth as a songwriter." [24] Kellan Miller of Drowned in Sound noted that Banks is "even more unfiltered and tenacious on The Altar than she was on Goddess" and that she is "perfectly comfortable in her own skin and artistic abilities, and it shows immensely on The Altar". [18] Writing for Rolling Stone , Maura Johnston concluded that "Banks' list of grievances can get wearying, but the music's dour detail is alluring too." [23] Kate Hutchinson of The Guardian described the album as "claustrophobic with try-hardness" and felt that "Banks doesn't sound empowered, she sounds stretched". [19] In a mixed review, Andrew Paschal of PopMatters expressed that "[t]he high points of The Altar are nearly perfect, but these are outnumbered by a massive middle section comprised of unremarkable, uninspired filler." [21] Katherine St. Asaph of Pitchfork found that "The Altar has a lot in common with Goddess, including its fatal flaw: its attempts to position Banks as edgy or dangerous, despite all musical evidence to the contrary." [20]

Commercial performance

The Altar debuted at number 17 on the US Billboard 200 with 14,220 copies sold in pure album sales. [25] [26] The album debuted at number 24 on the UK Albums Chart, selling 3,229 copies in its first week. [27]
