It was ok when it was released, but it did not age too well, considering she did nothing new ever since. Unpopular opinion but I'd like an album full of DHLs more than NTMT 2.0 The noisy sound is actually what gave her an 8.1 on Pitchfork 9 Quote Janelle Monáe • Sky Ferreira • Grace Jones • Spellling • FKA twigs • Kate Bush • Kylie Minogue • Charli XCX • Carly Rae Jepsen • LOOΠ∆ • Red Velvet • Janet Jackson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unpopular opinion but I'd like an album full of DHLs more than NTMT 2.0 I absolutely love the dark edgy vibe but I don't understand the point of the last loud part. It would be okay if it lasted for 5-10 seconds, but so long that I skip to the next song at that part. I actually feel like it aged well, I see plenty of similar edgy stuff going viral. 1 Quote I'm fucking crazy, but I'm free Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ceremonials 2,893 Posted February 24, 2022 my issue with the dark edgy vibe in ntmt is that sometimes it feels more childish ( boys is a good example ) like she's trying to not be a normal pop star and be all edgy but her lyrics don't match up with that at times. And maybe this is because i listen to a lot of noise and power electronics and punk, she just comes off as fake. like think avril in comparison to actual punk. I've seen her live before/ around in bars in nyc/la and she just doesn't seem super believable. i really think she shines on 24hrs, love in stereo and any of the other electro leaning songs, I understand that she wants to make cinematic sounding music now but DL was mediocre to me because of her vocals, like if lana had that song..... anyway she seems to have some of that 80s synth on masochism tracks so i'm hoping for some bops 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AOK 1,159 Posted February 24, 2022 I Will is this album's total beast - has always been my fav, despite my general love towards everything off that album (yes, Omanko, and, especially, Kristine included). Idk why, but the very beginning of I Will used to remind me of the beginning of Toxic by Britney. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it was a safe bet that the final version of Voices Carry was part of the tracklist. We lost. One of our beloved trusted insiders here in LB shared with us that Sky was about to release an EP full of covers last year. Many LB users got angry at the fact of her releasing that cover instead of actual brand new songs and pushing back Masochism. Then, many of those users went to Instagram and started to drag her on the comments section of her latest post and other users asked her if that covers EP was real. At the end of the day many other IG fans started to attack her and some others started to defend her. Sky started to reply to MANY comments, and she had a feud with one of the users commenting. It was a huuuuuge drama. After how hard she was dragged and how anticlimatic the whole release was considering the awful pre-announce reception due to the information leak of the upcoming Covers EP, her label or herself decided to cancel the release. Around the same time, the same insider shared the writer demo for "Guardian" and revealed that she may or may not have written the song as she claimed. I was the person she had a feud with 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
