I think she strengths as an artist are more evident in non-ballad mode. Spoiler All American Bitch, Love is Embarrassing and SPECIALLY Pretty Isn’t Pretty are my favorites and all around great great songs. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guts is like an 8.5/10 for me and Sour a 7/10 - also had high hopes for the opening track, especially when i saw the Lana reference, but it’s hands down my least fave track, honestly kinda boring and i don’t like the chorus or outro 1 Quote Your wife waters flowers, I wanna kill her Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

taco truck 32,991 Posted September 8, 2023 This is one of the only albums in recent years that I’ve immediately loved and didn’t need to have it grow on me. It seems to have a lot of mixed opinions but I honestly see this being a cult-classic in Olivia’s discography later on. To me it perfectly takes the themes of sour and expands upon them while sounding more mature at the same time. The melodies are super catchy and I think the production on the ballads has made them way better than most of the more forgettable ones on sour. Overall I’m obsessed! 6 Quote ❀❀ ˖° ⋆.ೃ࿔ this is my idea of fun °⋆.ೃ࿔*:・ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flamingos 564 Posted September 8, 2023 She did it well! Love is embarrassing, Logical & Vampire are my favs. All in all no skip on this album. 💜 3 Quote 💜 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boom like that 11,882 Posted September 8, 2023 Someone forced me to listen to this jndvnjd Not really a Olivia stan, this album is no exception. I really loved lacy (an extremely clever track) and I absolutely love the chorus of ballad of a homeschool girl (that title ) but the album is covered with juvenile lyrics, which makes sense considering her age, and its not really for me. I don't really like her music now but maybe in the future (?) or its alright for me just not to click lol 7 Quote .˚₊‧.༻𓆩❤︎𓆪 My love's pourin' 𓆩❤︎𓆪༺.‧₊˚. °l||l°l||l°l||l°l||l°l||l°l||Like a waterfall.||l°l||l°l||l°l||l°l||l°l||l° 1:32━━━━━♡────2:42 ⇆ | ◁◁ ▐ ▌ ▷▷ | ↺ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pico Ocean Boulevard 41,091 Posted September 8, 2023 I actually really enjoyed this album My faves after firsten listen : bad idea right? , making the bed , logical , get him back ! , love is embarassing & pretty isn't pretty Some of them were actually really relatable for me like logical, love is embarassing & pretty isn't pretty 5 Quote "Swan Song. It’s on my album Honeymoon. It’s the antithesis of hopefulness. It’s about trying to find beauty in giving up. If I had my way, I would continue to persist in all areas of my life, but it can be quite challenging because I can be too trusting too soon." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeminiLanaFan 49,031 Posted September 8, 2023 Gave it a couple of listens and I like the songs from Lacy to the closer. The first three tracks are a bit meh to me. it’s a good fun pop rock album. GP will eat this up for sure. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty isn't pretty anymore is also a vocally amazing song imo. She did good on this album. I feel like angry girl rock is making a more mainstream comeback. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Embach 42,381 Posted September 8, 2023 I kinda skimmed through the whole album and I really loved Making The Bed, it reminded me of Melodrama a lot. I think it's better than Sour and it's probably her best album but like I'm not like a "stan" of her music, I'm just a casual listener. Does it deserve 98% in Metacritics. No (it'll drop anyways because most reviews will be published later). I still kinda think her music is too teenagery nevertheless I think it's good. It's not really groundbreaking but if people love it I'm happy for them and Olivia 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
