With all these AI audio things, I need someone to make Melanie Martinez sing “Simon Says” by Allie X. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a CryBaby song.

Light Showers -Milk of the Siren Spiderweb Evil -Powder -Pluto Womb Leeches - Garden 💃 Battle of the Larynx

Here’s 10 reasons why Garden should have made it into the album: 1. It would be the track that the album cover would be based on. It’s literally a garden portal. 2. “When you aren’t around I sink into the ground.” - Death 3. “Honeysuckle and Fresh Meat” - Tunnel Vision 4. “Mushrooms Everywhere I’m Turning” - Faerie Soiree 5. “Covered in muck from the earth (Garden) and the sea (Sirens)” - Venus 6. “You cleansed me like a waterfall” - Light Shower in response to “hey where’d the water go?” 7. The entire song Spider Web is meant to go into Garden. Garden is suppose to be between leeches and Spider Web. 8. “They flocked to my garden” - Leeches 9. The seeds have been sprouting” - Pluto 10. “Dug out a hole, and sow, that’s where your body goes” - Garden connects well with Death. In conclusion, Garden connects in theme and lyrics to over half the album and deserved to be included. While The Contortionist and Powder don’t connect thematically at all to any of the album (Though both of those songs are AMAZING).

Honestly it really highlights the bad production. I have really good headphones and it sounds great, but most speakers and my car speakers highlight how low the vocals are compared to the instrumental on a lot of tracks. The ending of Pluto is godly in headphone but it’s a travesty in the car. On the other hand, Void which I think is poorly produced in headphones sounds much better through speakers and in the car. [Edit: I love the album, just wish it was mastered better]

Pluto has me in its grasp today. I’ve listened to it on repeat for the past four hours 🔥😭

I made a playlist with 30 songs from the PORTALS sessions and all of them fade into each other pretty easily if anyone wants to try a listen when they're bored. 1. Death 2. Void 3. Void II 4. Death II 5. Tunnel Vision 6. Faerie Soiree 7. Needle & Thread 8. Light Shower 9. Fingers Crossed 10. Milk of the Siren 11. Spider Web 12. Leeches 13. Garden 14. Corpse 15. Fragile (Hawaii Space Guitar with Vocals) 16. Battle of the Larynx 17. The Contortionist 18. Dragon's Blood 19. Moon Cycle 20. Inconsistent Flame 21. Mother of Pearl 22. Nymphology 23. Evil 24. Powder 25. Synchronicities 26. Emerald 27. Labyrinth 28. Pluto 29. Tunnel Vision II 30. Womb

So I’m going to need a pitched version of powder on the final instrumental. the pitched vocals on YouTube are great, but the sound of the instrumental is nauseating that high.

Shocked gooped and gagged that Garden didn't make the deluxe. But sis didn't include Where do Babies Come From on Crybaby or History on After School so what did I expect.

I’ll have to go look. I liked how she changed lyrics on crybaby, I’m hoping she had some umm, edited lyrics for Nymphology I could have someone edit into the normal one 😅

I love the entire album, void is my only eh-song. The rest I haven’t skipped once. Any news on a clean version? I don’t see one on iTunes.

Babes you deleted 10 of the tracks. You just made an unreleased playlist with three released songs.

I think that "FRAGILE" is a perfect title for it.

I think thematically it could work. She doesn't touch Siren's subject matter but goes around it, so I fill like there's a void (pun) without it there. Sonically it's less similar than VOID and EVIL are to each other. I think Death is much better than Sirens, but I still think it deserved a spot. Now with the others, I think they could fit, I just mean there's no clean insert spot for me. Like Faerie Soiree -> Sirens -> Light Shower flows really smoothly. But I can't find a spot to make the others flow without someone editing things. Speaking of that, if anyone wants to edit Needle & Thread to make it fit between something, please do

After listening to the entire album, there's no way to fit Dragon's Blood, Needle & Thread, or Corpse and it feel correct. Love them but they can't be inserted and still flow. But I 100% added Garden and Sirens. The outro from Faerie Soiree was literally made to go into sirens. Garden always deserved to go into Leeches. Half the songs on the album connect to garden, it really doesn't make sense that they didn't get added other than she couldn't fit them on the vinyl? But I love the album, other than AMULET, I think every second of the album is good.

PSA: Sirens fits perfect between faerie soirée and light showers. Garden fits perfect between spider web and leeches.
