the fact that u called it ur “Spiderweb”!

they are… Light Shower, Leeches and Womb… from those Leeches is probably the most interesting one from the “rock” songs the only one I would keep is Evil the rest of “upbeat” songs (and I say this lightly) are hit or miss HITS!: Tunnel Vision, The Contortionist and Nymphology the rest are from meh to straight up bad for me (although Death is listenable) Womb is cute too but maybe not as great as a closer should be? Idk

I mean… Maybe unpopular opinion but Drama Club, Lunchbox Friends, Show & Tell, Nurses Office and maybe Detention eat up anything in the album for the exception of Tunnel Vision of course! y’all will kill me! I know the lyrics in K-12 are horrible but at least those instrumentals slap hard! This album doesn’t have upbeat songs except the previously mentioned. Also the concept here is all over the place while in K-12 at least you could tell the vision she had! Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for the Medieval fantasy fairy aesthetic, but then she throws songs like BOTL or Light Shower that make 0 sense with the concept and throw me off big time. The leaks were a lot more cohesive… she should have sticked with it (even if it leaked the GP wouldn’t care) And don’t get me started on the costume thing… but that’s another thing the only one in Portals I see myself coming back to bop a little is TV… maybe time will tell otherwise but for now… it’s like that However!!! If I take in consideration the leaks and the album I’ll make with them (including bops like Garden, Dragons Blood, Barely Juice and N&T) it’s far superior to anything since Crybaby… as for now, the “official” album doesn’t have me hyped

Im sure I’m the only one looking forward to listen to the “egg cracking” sound on Evil in HD im probably mentally I’ll for that

Am I the only one who doesn’t hear anything wrong with her vocals this era? her pronunciation has always been a problem for me but that has more to do with how she carries the lyrics than her vocal capacity… other than that it’s all fine, I don’t see difference with K-12 or After School era!

I mean something with the vibe of live instrumentation and not very polished… like it’s recorded on a garage that’s not a bad thing though, Olivia Rodrigo broke records with songs like that. It’s more punk/rock to give a feel of underground I guess (they’re not fooling anyone) I mean, is not THAT BAD… but in the context of the album makes no sense to me… thematically and sonically doesn’t fit the concept and that takes me out of the illusion. Also as one of the three rock songs I prefer Evil by far. Also, the lyrics are all over the place for me don’t know, I would had enjoyed it as a unreleased, that’s for sure

my least favourite of those is by far BOTL… so fucking bad and cringe

It’s good but the snippet already spoiled the whole chorus and it’s exactly like the live performance with little to no changes so the hype is gone for me… Also at first I really enjoyed it (I still do) but after a while I think the original version fits better the album and thematically is more interesting Void, BOTL and Evil all sound very similar, the GarageBand instrumental, repetitive chorus and lackluster bridges… I like them but maybe not in the album (Evil is probably my fav)

and still she portraits them as this dumb stupid looking toddlers in Show & Tell I can’t do anything but laugh at that idea

At this point we are getting the stems before the actual songs, this is crazy

Charli fans are savages and I love it! crybabies take themselfs too seriously, it’s boring They don’t leak shit, and if it does, they will try make u feel bad for listening they’re profesionally offended

I swear some of this crybabies need jail time they couldn’t care less about Melanie or her music they probably show some of her CDs and say “go queen” or “slayyyy 💅🏻” to appear different then go back to listen to Taylor Swift

be careful, if u expose how stupid some crybabies are u can get labeled a rude… Anyway, u are right… this bitches show the material for clout yet won’t bother to share it with the rest! And let me tell u it’s not because “Melanie wouldn’t want that” cause we will stream it anyways it’s because they are lazy af… leave Grindr and upload the album to the site we all already know

I was referring to the gays gatekeeping the album not u sis 💅🏻 also… the homophonic part is an obvious joke what I meant is that not leaking the album seems part of the straight agenda by not givin us gays what we want

This gays being homophobic AF its givin

keep DEATH as the starter and put Void original as the closer… I don’t know, to me that makes sense

Really?? That sounds scetchy since the production isn’t that different Also may I say her best demos and released songs are by them! Half of Crybaby alone, then Drama Club on K-12 (also outtakes like Gluestick, Eraser and Papercut are awesome) and then the MM3 sessions (Garden, Sirens, Needle &Thread, Tunnel Vision, Dragons Blood, Barely Juice…) They seem to get her more upbeat side and I’m here for that! With other producers the songs are cute but I noticed she tends to go a little too soft and slow… K&OL also seem to do really well in slower jams, for example the Happy Neon Ep or 301 to Paradise mixtape for Neon Hitch. Even their work with Madison Beer But I’m guessing she’s doing that to prevent future leaks and I can understand that

The page we all know is filled with “Portals” zip/rar documents… probably all of them fake… how am I supposed to know when they’re real?!

Im curious to know, for which album?

I also read that but I though it was just rumours

At this point we might as well wait till release day

Right! I don’t get the hate

U spilled sis! I though a one producer thing was bad, but the thought of a self-produced album is crazy! She’s really talented and all but she clearly needs some supervision from professionals

Well, she uses excruciating long sentences with no punctuation marks and many of the things she says don’t make any sense! Feels like the instrumental is on its own and her singing on top belongs to another song cause there is no correlation between the two… like I said, it reminds me a little bit of Field Trips chorus but we shall see. The main difference is in Field Trip the instrumental at least had some changes while in Light Shower is the same plain guitar over and over again for 5 minutes. Of course after hearing it multiple times we’ll probably grow to enjoy it but that doesn’t mean it’s palatable on first listen… I’m surprised to say this but this may be worse than Spider Web even… at least the verses there are good The fact that this is part of 3 really slow songs in the album already, doesn’t help either

The thing is… at this point we all know Melanies best work is with K&OL but… everything she does with them gets leaked, first Drama Club before release and then the whole Hawaii fiasco for MM3… I mean, even if they work so good together I can understand why she may choose other producers from now on! Must be very frustrating to get ur stuff leaked so early every single time! Or they either get their shit together and better their security or we are in for other one producer projects like K-12 and After School with Michael Keenan (severe PTSD)
