    Melanie Martinez

    I actually really like the album, it's a good listen and it's great that it's selling well. My current top 3: 1. Evil (that transition SLAPS) 2. Nymphology 3. Battle of the Larynx Some issues I have w/ the record: I agree w/ what's been said - the mixing could've been clearer, especially on Void which kinda sounds a bit basic sonically and structurally; the chorus of SW is giving me CB vibes, when I first heard it I could've sworn I'd heard it before, I like Womb and its chorus though they could've done more w/ it & the intro is kinda basic too. The deluxe tracks are good though I wish the rest of the album had some of that sonic heaviness, otherwise they really stand out Also, I'm so tired of all caps titles lol
  5. The album is sonically, melodically, vocally and lyrically more interesting than chemtrails and banisters combined and tripled, it's amazing. The songs sound fresh, inspired and it really stands close to Norman. That said, judas interlude... hard skip. Gave it one listen, then banished it from my library, ain't no white out-of-breath man gonna preach on my Lana album, ironic or not. Waste of a good instrumental.

    Taylor Swift

    So I've listened to the album twice now + the 3am tracks (WCS and Glitch really slapped) and I do love it, love the atmosphere, lyrics and her vocals. It's def way more relaxed compared to folklore & evermore. Buttt, the chorus for Midnight Rain is LITERALLY the chorus of my tears ricochet, the lyrics of MTR fit perfectly in MS's instrumental/melody. Also, cackle at Lana getting the HAIM, The Chicks and Colbie Callat treatment it's a fab song so it's okay And this album is kinda giving me Ariana's positions vibes w/ the previous albums being much stronger/emotional, and these ones being lighter + more commercial, though Midnights is better lol

    This is how Victimhood feels like: And this is how Allow feels like:

    Björk

    Just finished my first listen So yeah, it is very eclectic, some parts are giving me Volta, Medulla, Biophilia, Utopia and Vulnicura, though that's not a bad thing. Many many more listens ahead Allow is sooo precious, I love it, Sorrowful Soil - brilliant, Fungal City - amazing. The melody for Ancestress's first chorus and the background vocals are so beautiful, they've been stuck in my mind since it came out. Atopos, Ovule and title track are all fantastic as well. Victimhood is very moody and Freefall is very pretty. Though, I must say, I wish it were more the 'underground fungi' album as it was promised or, at least, that's how I expected it. It's neither too long or short, really pleased with it

    Björk

    Fellow Björkers, how do we feel based on what we've heard - will Björk finally win that grammy? (assuming she is nominated) Also, in preparation I relistened to all of her discography and my current ranking looks like this: THE BIG FOUR (these can pretty much be organised any which way): 1. Vulnicura 2. Homogenic (though I've still not quite taken to Immature and Alarm Call even after many years, they're cute but everything else outshines them) 3. Vespertine (though the second half doesn't feel as strong as the first one) 4. Post THE REST: 5. Debut 6. Medulla 7. Volta (on a good day it could even be switched w/ Medulla. As an album it feels disjointed but most of the songs as individuals are very strong) 8. Utopia (I think I can finally hear what others have been saying here - the mixing is messy and her vocals feel drowned out) 9. Biophilia (Virus is still that bitch) So far, Fossora could end up among the big four or at least be ranked high

    FooooOOOOOoooooOSoooora The last minute: I absolutely love it
  13. Thoughts on this? https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/lady-gaga-richard-richy-jackson-choreographer-dancers-1386175/ Maybe she'll finally get rid of her rat choreographer

    Charli XCX

    Pop 2, Crash and HIFN is her holy trinity. N1A comes close I relistened to Charli in full yesterday and the middle is so boring, starts off so strong then just dips
  15. Text You Pictures is a BOP Heiress is cute too
  16. Just had my first official listen (it's out here already) and I gotta say

    Halsey

    Just finished the first full listen and wow oh wow. She really did THAT. This is really a body of work, I'm truly impressed. Lyrically, vocally and production-wise it's all very strong. The only pity I feel is that none of the tracks hit as hard as Experiment On Me, but aside from that it is amazing. I did keep expecting The Lighthouse to end with an explosion of guitars but it's amazing anyways And of course have to mention the perfect cover, it's so perfect Really loving the direction she took with everything Btw: does anyone know if the movie will available for streaming/online purchase?

    Halsey

    It kinda feels like there is no hype for the album. I get that she was pregnant/gave birth recently but surely something could've been prerecorded. The small hype from the album/movie announcement came and went and now there's nothing lol

    Lorde

    So, I just finished the first full listen and... yeah It's a cute record, very nice vocals, but not what I was expecting based on the many descriptions we saw earlier Here are some quick thoughts I had during the first listen: Secrets from a girl - serving P!nk's Catch 22's airline part The man with the axe - I didn't quite understand who's she's singing to/about - her boyfriend? but then there's that bit about someone w/ lashes and t-shirts who would overtake her...idk (Very sorry to say this and I don't mean any hate, but) Some of the songs are very much lite-NFR - Big Star and Leader of the new regime. I can definitely imagine Lana singing these and actually being on that record Why is she doing so many high vocals Mood swing - could've been more lyrical during the first chorus, there's a lot of empty space and the instrumental is not that exciting Helen of troy - very cute, better than some of the standard tracks Hold no grudge - literally serving Xtina's Genie in the bottle at the beginning and during the verses The melody and vocal performance of Dominoes gave me some Joni Mitchell's Carey vibes Fallen fruit - definitely interesting, though I have no idea what's she's singing about and I paid attention So, fave tracks (for now): Wild at heart (even though I don't like the vocal production (?) during the choruses - they feel very distant), Mood swing (kind of), California Also, I really like the animated cover on Apple Music, it's cute
