    That Stevie Nicks comparison she won't stop mentioning that the NY Times brought up is honestly such a reach and she really needs to take a step back. Let alone the only similarity is that they're both women with a vibrato (one of which is an actual legend and another has been in the public eye for less than a year).
     
    Tbh if she's going to RT every review of the album and then review that review thats enough for me to form an opinion on this album without hearing more than the EP that she used to fill it. Let the music speak for itself, if it's truly a solid piece of work that you're proud of, stop worrying so much about what everyone has to say. Frankly I want to like her music, but nothing beyond her EP has impressed me and this twitter behavior is just further reinforcing my feeling that she's using social media to cover up the fact that she's insecure about her own work and sound.
     
    Just to be clear, it's ok to defend your work/art, however, a simple "i disagree with this review, I actually was trying to convey........" is fine rather than berating reviewers personally for not giving your work a gold star, and constantly bringing up the reviews that did give you a gold star.

    Thought I was the only one pissed off about her attitude on twitter the past few days... 

    And what bothers me more are those who are encouraging her with those "tea spilled" "yas mama tell em" tweets from her "fans".

    Agreed. I understand being upset with the bad review, but if the album is really as good as she thinks it is, let the music speak for itself. Regardless of whether you feel the interviewer missed the point, posting shit like this and this, is just childish

    Her reaction to the pitchfork review doesn't make her look too good tbh...like I get that she didn't like it but @ mentioning the reviewer or even subtweeting about it is in poor taste to me

    i like this guy.
     
    anyone else remember how pissed Lorde was when P4k gave her a 7.3? That's not even a bad review - especially for a pop album that charted so well. but i remember Lorde distinctly voicing an opinion that they gave her something like a "pissing awful review", to the point where she didn't want to do an interview with them. i had so much respect for her after that - just as i did when she turned down touring with Katy Perry. thing is, Lorde came across as mature, logical, and practical in that instance. it was an easy "if, then" statement, but i'm pretty sure there was some provocation before she voiced her side of the incident. she didn't just randomly start tweeting the reviewer.
     
    as a pitchfork fan - albeit one who takes their opinions with plenty a grain of salt - i agree with them only about 2/3 of the time. just because they're my favourite critic site doesn't mean they have an infallible compass - and it also doesn't mean that my taste, my personal choices of "good" or "bad" music, are any better than theirs. (still shocked the infantile Fifth Harmony album got such a high score, though - that critic has done like three big pop album reviews recently, and she sucks. bring back Lindsay Zoladz.) my opinions are just that. mine. that's the beautifully subjective thing about listening to music in the first place. and, like any good critics, pitchfork occasionally changes their minds. just look at how they treated Lana initially, and how fond they are of her now. look at the first review of Andrew W,K.'s album, and the follow-up review a decade later. look at how harsh they were to Kanye's "808s and Heartbreak" in '08, and how much they've revered it in recent articles.
     
    all those thoughts to say that i'm really disappointed ryn is acting so idiotically. major turn-off. quite frankly, having not listened beyond the EP and single, i had hoped for an album of "Octahate"s, so perhaps i'm biased beyond relief anyway. i probably still would have wanted to listen to it after reading the review - it at least sounded interesting! but seeing her responses - and sheer volume of them - i feel a sense of disgust. that's not what being an artist is about, let alone an adult. 
     
    the best response i've ever read to negative criticism is from Regina Spektor, and i'ma leave it at that.

    Honestly I like her music, but she needs to grow up and realize every review isn't going to be 100% positive about everything she does. This is literally the first bad review she's ever gotten and she's throwing a fit like a small child and tweeting nasty shit at the guy who wrote the review................like seriously.....................grow up and calm down..............

    This is just nasty...................
     
     
    I would disagree but thats your opinion. Also it was only done by one person who was the same. XXX 88 had Ronni (who I'm pretty sure added the horns like he did on Pilgrim) and Lean On had DJ Snake (who produced a large bit of the song as the drop after the chorus is his chopped vocal style)

    Saw Melanie Martinez live back in 2013. I really liked her at the time and when I got to the show I was appalled at how obvious it was that she didn't want to be there and how awful she sounded. I've never walked out of a concert and to this day that was the only show I've ever done that for. Granted she might've changed  but I was so angry about that experience that I was never able to look at her the same.

    If there was an official *acoustic* version of OctaHate, I think it'd be like this, and this isn't bad at all
     

  24. heartbreakhigh liked a post in a topic by KillForLove in Ryn Weaver   
    I'm on the fence. I think Pierre is a really good song, however I've yet to find a version of it that I like. The live acoustic was too pitchy and her voice was cracking because she was trying to overdo it, and upon first hearing the studio I love it (the guitars are a really good touch) but I hate the way she breaks up the words in the chorus to hit with the beat like OctaHate. The Coachella performance of it is probably the closest I'm going to get to what I want to hear.
