sadness is a butterfly

Sadly I had bad luck with that store before, and they were very unhelpful. I hope you have better luck. I could go on and on about how I think they just try to bait people from TikTok and then just give very poor customer service.

Nope

I actually really like it, more than Void. It sounded really really good in person.

As messy as it has been at times, I enjoyed this pre release Waiting for eggs, live performances that we had to click a million links to find. I’ll never forget the joy of hearing her start singing Tunnel Vision live Lyrics, the trauma of the track list reveal. The listening party was fun, despite unhinged fans. We got a (good) single, a music video. And it’s only been a month since it was announced!

My green vinyl came today I really do like the color of it in person!

Is your Target poster in good condition or is it glued?

I was just thinking earlier how nice it was to not have to read ‘did it leak’ on every page then I got to this thread

When I first heard the Rockafella my umbrella Instagram clip I was not loving it, I thought it was giving BB But the final version of Candy Necklace snatched my wig

I’ve also seen Evil on a few tiktoks I was surprised!

This is all really true, I was feeling the same way about how a lot of these songs sound very long, and like you said not in a good way. On the same note, I wish TV and FS were longer. TV only has two verses and two choruses, and then an inflated run time with two outros. I never cared much for the original outro, though they have improved it some. I would have much preferred another verse and chorus, and one outro.

I tried to do this once with Taylor’s store (which I think it’s the same company for merch) and they told me no. I had one item in the order that was pushing the entire thing back two months, so I ended up cancelling that item so I’d get the rest sooner (the item was available to repurchase separately but i decided not to rebuy it).

Leeches lyrics unlocked Also another CD variant with the Death single artwork. Is this new? https://store.melaniemartinezmusic.com/products/death-art-portals-cd

I kinda think she might have blown her chance to appeal to the masses with this album. Death did really well and brought a lot of eyes on her work, but I think people are going to be disappointed with the album overall. Predictions: Death, Void, Tunnel Vision, Faerie Soiree, and Evil will be widely liked. Moon Cycle, Nymphology, Spider Web, and to some degree The Contortionist will be polarizing and most people will not like them. The rest of the tracks are just sort of unremarkable, non offensive (unless you figure out the double meaning of Light Shower).

Listening to some other Jon Batiste songs to support the king that gave us Candy Necklace Kind of enjoying his music ngl

A for effort

My jacket did too!!

I wonder how soon the physicals are going to ship Sone of Lana’s shipped early

Right. I pulled it out of the pocket with disc C/D and I thought it was just a tiny bit stuck and didn’t expect that. Drove an hour each way to get it too. I might order another one online and send this one back in it’s place.

mine stuck to the inner sleeve and ripped a chunk off of the black area. So the inner sleeve and the poster are messed up.

Thank youuuuu Half this thread loved it, half hated it, curious what you think!

Tommy Genesis posted a cute TikTok with Peppers https://www.tiktok.com/@tommygenesis/video/7215014015733370155

It’s also one of the images on one of the inner sleeves from the white vinyl, I too didn’t know what it was

I’d love for someone to spill on what the process was with these new vs old songs once this whole thing and the deluxe is over and done with. She included 2 of the roughly 5 generally well liked songs, one middle of the road one, and one that no one liked. I think the whole thing is a product of too much time and too much overthinking when she had a good concept initially, and in the grand scheme of things, not that many people heard those songs anyway. I was at three Targets today and only looked at CDs at one but I didn’t see it.

Magnets and Synchronicities RIP, so much potential in both of them. Too good for this world. I do see some parallels in Magnets to N&T (that’s why it’s the closer on my Deluxe version, and N&T on the standard )

Do we know who produced each leaked song? @The Siren probably has shared it already if so Also what do you mean by the deluxe tracks? Did CJ Baran produce TV, Moon Cycle, FS, and Leeches? This theory makes a lot of sense honestly. Needle and Thread and Garden 100% fit Portals as/is, in my opinion.
