Time

I mean it's okay lol. Why does everything need to be a 10/10?

I mean yeah, because that’s how the apple Photos app interface is designed

Technically it’s 2 squares, so Hello goodbye remix coming as well

That song is not drum n’ bass

NGL the reception that this and the SOPHIE album are getting honestly just proves how much damage expectations can make. No matter how good a body of work is, if it doesn't match up exactly with what fans are expecting, lashings are to be expected. Which is both understandable and pathetic imo. You're not always going to get what YOU want and what YOU want is sometimes worse it also doesn't make sense to me for fanbases of such expectation-defying artists, to be so...close-minded in what they want from the artists they adore

All I’m gonna say is - EVERYONE hated Von dutch when it leaked, but switched like f*ggots when it dropped a few days later. Its RYM score started at 2.5 and then shot up to like 3.7 lol.

I just know the So I remix is going to go off in the most cathartic way possible

Exhilarate is very Kate Bush, it gives me The Big Sky with how enthusiastic the melody sounds + pretty much every KB song with those heavy drums

the wall mural is fake

Kind of figured the album's first section out (IMO). It's supposed to be "random" and make you question what comes next, maybe even make you a bit uneasy. In my eyes it's connected to the whole "unpredictable reality" concept at the beginning of The Dome's Protection. The song addresses the unpredictability of the first four tracks and then segues the whole thing back into "the dome" which in this case could be an area of safety and coherency, which is then illustrated through the remaining album's smooth progress from celebratory pop to techno and then to euphoric pop. It's like "You need to understand that life can get unpredictable and strange, but here's a positive outlook on it, now go have fun" I also can't help but see a connection to the pandemic here, after all it was a very unpredictable and uncertain time in our lives & SOPHIE did mention it causing a switch of consciousness in her.

This is a tough one

Actually baffled by the narrative that is being spun around this project….but looking at how Product was received back then, maybe this is exactly how it’s supposed to go?

These interviews with Ben are everything that I was hoping for! Sooo much info and transparency, really important stuff in these 3 articles

I've got a feeling that it's officially dropping tonight with the Youtube premiere. Really hoping that the second premiere is a full album visualizer

No, exactly. And also all of it is coming from people who are either pissed that NYBD, TMTD, Burn Rubber and etc. didn't make it or from those who are pissed at the fact that this isn't OOEPUI 2.0. It's honestly very f*cking ignorant and unfair. I also feel like some people expected the album to be a nonstop cunt-fest (for some reason?), when in reality it's very much in line with this quote from that The Face interview from 2020: “Whatever is put out into the world now needs to somehow be reactive to [the pandemic] and learn from this situation,” she says, birds chirping in the background. “I feel some kind of shift of consciousness is occurring, whether that’s me coming into this more reflective place or whatever else it is, and I’m curious to know how that might manifest itself musically.” That said, I don't even remember the last time that I wasn't annoyed at a RYM score so...
