Thunder Revenant

It's sad she did not win anything yet again after so many nomination and it's disgusting what little idea the voters at the awards have (bringing up a messed up TV performance from 2012 ... wtf) but - Are we actually suprised? If NFR could not make it in 2019, why would an album like OB win now? Especially when up against Ms. Bland Swift?

I desperately hope she does not bring back the person who mixed this album. That muffled, quiet, incoherent mess is not it. It sticks out most if you are listening to a playlist and an OB track starts playing so you have to adjust the volume ...

Well he knew it was the only good thing they did together ever since NFR dropped

I hope this features none of the tracks listed on the first page but Henry, Come On. All of these other tracks were boring and way too straightforward

OMG BETH GIBBONS JUST ANNOUNCED NEW MUSIC! Sounds like a full album is coming our way

Glad it's out so soon. Best case is good music this year, worst case is that we can leave that flop genre behind asap

Hurting animals for sport isnt really better just because you dont kill them though

Cherry & Honeymoon. Also:

Taylor will win anyway though

Might depend a bit on the market, but I guess Stupid Girl/ Only Happy When It Rains/ Queer/ #1 Crush/ Subhuman kind of match with I Think I'm Paranoid/ Push It/ Special/ When I Grow Up/ The Trick Is To Keep Breathing when it comes to their most known tracks (and #1 Crush/ Subhuman were b-sides only). So I think they might count as "2 album wonders"

But 2.0 was their most successful album wasn't it?

I feel its kinda hard to say which songs actually were "BTD outtakes" bevause she did so many things in between AKA amd BTD. So I'd go with what is listed on Lanapedia. - Kinda Outta Luck - You Can Be The Bos - Hundred Dollar Bill - Put The Radio On - She's Not Me Other tracks where I'd be unsure whether they would count as outtakes: - Heavy Hitter - Jealous Girl - Us Against The World - In The Sun

I could actually see her dropping a stripped down, simple album this fall with songs in the style of Henry and Country Roads.

I think that was around HM wasn't it?

Definitely Halsey - Badlands Melanie Martinez - Cry Baby

Lolita - The orchestral demo with that sampled bassline is FIRE. The album version is just messy and the definition of overproduced Lucky Ones - Generally feel like it's not her strongest song but the demo definitely feels less bleak and I love the drums. Summer Bummer - Not sure whether it qualifies as a demo, but the version with the humming that was uploaded on YT/ is pressed on some of the vinyls is much more fun. Beautiful People, Beautiful Problems - Album version is basically meaningless and the forced Stevie Nicks feature is terrible. Next Best American Record - Lyric change kinda ruined the vibe, especially since the new ones are so terribly cheesy Thunder - The demo had so much more fire. Also, I really hate how poorly mixed the climax part of the album version is. There are some other demos - the Diet Mountain Dew demo with the additional pre-chorus, the e-guitar heavy National Anthem demo, the demo versions for Freak - which I love but where I kinda understand why they did not end up that way on the album. So I probably like them just as much as the album versions.

Roisin Murphy - CooCool Timber Timbre - Sugar Land Robin Kester - Blinds Mitski - Bug Like An Angel Unloved - I Did It Marta & Tricky - When It's Going Wrong Hope - Navel Chelsea Wolfe - Dusk King Hannah - Like A Prayer And obviously A&W.

No Jack No Country music/ covers More balance between artistic/ experimental choices and a coherent album More boldness, less "stripping songs down"

Did not know I needed this until I read it

No offense but that sounds like tge most cheesy thing ever

Not people saying OB's incoherent mastering is great or an artistic choice 💀 A&W is literally much quieter than any other songs on the album,'s A-side, you always have to awkwardly adjust the volume whrn listening to the vinyl. And then there is the flat sound on tracks like Fishtail, Grandfather or Paris that really impacts these sonh's momentum. The only tracks where I feel like the effect was intentional is Kintsugi and Peppers, fo the rest it's just bad mastering.

I'd take three Nikki Lana collabs over Lana ever featuring that overrated, screachy W*knd guy ever again.

Not really a big fan. Production and vocal delivery are nice, but it just lacks her "Lana magic"

- The reversed vocals in High By The Beach intro (which recurr throughout the track) - The backing vocals of Freak, especially the drama of the last chorus - The scatting in Wait For Life's bridge - The humming in the intro of God Knows I Tried - Backing vocals/ moaning in Sad Girl
