Ridiculous mark, but they gave the album BNM at least.

I said it in Jon Interlude thread but has anyone seen 'Soul' by Pixar? This interlude reminds me a lot of this film  like they both felt the flow of inspiration

if you go back in my posts i've made several INCREDIBLY LONG posts in a row explaining my in depth analysis of the lyrics including that one with pictures and videos of the performance as well.. it'll be a lot of scrolling but I did explain what it was outside of the spoiler tags so it should be searchable  

Lemme try and search it

@fl0r1dakil0s what was that sound you said "if this is what i think it is" on judah smith interlude?

[Pink Champagne 8,885]

There’s already over 50 pages  I have to take care of my pets (9 of them!) and then I’ll get to listen. Still have only heard The Grants, title track, and A&W.

GET HIGH

 

DROP ACID 

[GeminiLanaFan 45,725]

I’m still listening to it, first listen. (By the way, guys, I do t know how you first  listened to many song in lq  this album begs for good headphones).

 

Lets begin with the bad: 
JudasSmith interlude: 

I’ve been plenty vocal about it before, but I’ve been (miserable) in church way too often in my life to appreciate it. Beautiful melody but shut up, preacher. By the way, I don’t know how long his sermons last, but I can’t have someone yell at me for 30min+

 

Sweet and Kintsugi both feel like they could have been on Blue Banisters. 
 

Candy Necklace : a bit surprise that it’s gonna be a single. I love it though, there are a lot of « late night singer in a dive bar » vibes to it, very jazzy. Also love the interlude afterwards. These two will grow on me a lot. 
 

Kintsugi and Fingtertips are both a lot as expected, almost « melody less ». They need some adjusting to. Beautiful lyrics, especially on Fingertips. But when you transition to Paris Texas and Grandfather: wow. And things pick up after that.

 

LET THE FUCKING LIGHT IN 

 

Margaret sounds way better than I thought. Also more ballad than expected. but it’s so sweet? Like something you’d play at your parents or grandparents’s anniversary ? 
 

i don’t know if I’m reading too much into this, if it’s the early early spring messing with my brain, but this album feels like the first half is winter, then transitioning into the spring of the second half.

The back-to-back hit of Kintsugi -> Fingertips might be too much, or a breaking point for casual listeners (or BTD stans), but they're sisters. They belong together. It's the heart of the album.

I actually think that these two + Grandfather would make an amazing closing section of the album. With three "bops" (Fishtail - TT) in the middle even GP/BTD fans would make it to the end. She kinda sabotaged Kintsugi and Fingertips with that tracklist.

the shortest review I've ever read, but 4,5/5 from Rollingstone Germany

Thats exactly the point. She’s not trying to cater to anyone but herself. It makes sense: the ones who stick until the end are the ones who are interested in the whole journey.

Oh Fishtail - Peppers - Taco Truck 

I’d never thought I’d want to strip to « you wanted me sadder »
