Can someone thats not hysterical and high tell me is the album actually a new classic. Can you describe it in one sentence?

I have so many thoughts, but I just need to say that Violets for Roses is really That Song. It reminds me of Fine China in the best way. It has such a hopeful vibe, I love it.

There's something going on with CB, LL, and NotG. Why are there credits for instruments that aren't in the song? Why is Fabrizio not credited on neither CB nor NotG? Why do multiple people notice a difference in quality from the rest of the album? Why are some peoples versions of Cherry Blossom defaulting to their Unreleased album??

no, it’s mostly pretty meh. most ppl are understandably just super excited bc it’s just come out today. however the highs are VERY high - it’s just that there’s only 2 or 3 highs and the rest is either ‘meh it’s okay’ or stuff we’ve already heard

Is the string version of Beautiful only a demo? ?

For me it’s already one of her best albums.

 

I would describe it as intense and melodic

This album is so much more interesting than I expected it to be tbh. There's a little something for everyone. It's still cohesive while also not being repetitive.

So I just listened to the version of Beautiful with strings for the first time and wow....that took the song from a 7 to a 9 for me. Absolutely gorgeous 

 

 

Spoiler

So there are mutiple versions out of some songs ?

 

Spoiler

Didn't expect we would get Black bathing Suit, Grenadine Quarentine and If this is the end I want a boyfriend in one song. 

 

Anyone noticed the reference to Smarty in If you like down with me with the Dance me all around the room line ?

 

The Cherry Blossom is the same as the old one (Piano and vocals), just a different take. Wasn't it supposed to have guitar by Barrie. Anyone got something else ?

Definitely wouldn't call it a classic, although I do like it. The best way I can describe it: It's a compilation album. While it doesn't fit within a strict definition of "compilation," it definitely feels like one (and she even calls it a compilation on her album announcement via Instagram). Because of this, it can feel disjointed at times. Regardless, she never really misses and even her weakest albums produce strong tracks. 

 

Edit: No one come for me; I never said it was a bad album. I like the album!

Spoiler

My cherry blossom didn't have Blue Banisters as album title it had "unreleased" and the file quality was way higher than the rest. Plus it was similar to preview leaks. Maybe the final version still have to leak

I am so guilty of this ?

[Ultraviolencequeen 2,849]

Ok I’m not listening yet. But if I’m an NFR UV fan is this album for me? I can’t wait.

I also want more info on BBS and beautiful as everyone's answers confusing me. What are comparable songs of hers ? I need to visualize 

[FFXSoul91 1,030]

Why is no one talking about how the leak has a version of Arcadia with The Trio at the end followed by The Trio playing again afterward as a separate track?

Sweet Carolina is giving me mild Joni Mitchell vibes. The vocals, the production (kind of), etc.
