BANKS

Recommended Posts

OMG not me forgetting the album comes this Friday :deadbanana: I literally thought it was being released on the 28th or some shit :eartha: 

I was about to point there's been way too many singles BUT I decided not to listen to the latest two. Holding Back remains my favourite BUT I'm glad Meteorite is being well received! Can't wait to listen in full :angie:

For an 11 track album it’s a shame we already have half of it, especially with 2 of the tracks being nearly a year old. Oh well….album Friday.

 

And it sure sucks that none of her albums have a deluxe edition (Goddess don't count as the deluxe is useless lol)

 

I hope now, that she is independent, she gets to fucking decide to release a deluxe version of her album.

Good thing is i refrain from listening to anything she drops besides Holding Back & the other 2 2020 singles

So exciting for the album

Kinda sad cuz I really don’t like the album, its just very bland to me with a lot of slow/ballad type songs...

 

I do like Misunderstood, Fuck Love, Anything 4 U and Unleavable tho

ugh what i feared. i hope they'll be a relatable gem in there for me... 

 

shes been reminding me of that shitty bald man saying " she's not the edgy singer she thinks she is " lately. 

 

someone new manages to stay at the top of her streaming because of coffee house playlisting, maybe i'm just being delusional in thinking she could be doing so much more

The album is…..disappointing?

 

It’s very ballad heavy and lacks a bit of fire. Some of the production is a bit bland too, even on the good tracks. The album feels very uninspired to me, i dunno.

 Maybe being in a relationship has made her boring or something….

 

 There’s some good tracks though.

Just finished listening!

 

I’m a massive Banks fan, like seriously cannot emphasise how much both The Altar and III were the soundtracks to my life when they came out. Both those albums helped me through so much

 

That being said… this is her most underwhelming album so far imo. First impressions:

 

Misunderstood - I love it! Starts the album off with a bang in the vein of Till Now. Wish it was a bit longer though

 

Meteorite - it’s cute, it doesn’t stand out immediately but it’s enjoyable

 

Fuck Love - Hmm not sure. Not feeling this at the moment, I think it might grow on me

 

Deadend - really liking this one, sounds like a ballad that would fit on III

 

Holding Back - hated the high-pitched vocals at first but it’s grown on me over time. She’s a bop!

 

The Devil - flawless. Don’t get how so many people dislike this song, it’s classic Banks imo

 

Skinnydipped - another flawless song, has been on repeat since it first dropped

 

Burn - not my favourite, she has so many stronger ballads than this. It sounds kinda forgettable

 

Birds by the Sea - it’s okay. It doesn’t really build to anything. Again, feels bland for a Banks ballad

 

Spirit - very different sound for Banks, almost sounds gospel/church inspired? It’s also like 2 mins long so really more of an interlude. Idk I don’t think it really fits the tone of the album

 

Anything 4 U - yes!! Love this, I knew from the opening notes this song was gonna slap

 

Unleavable - great lyrics, great vocal sampling, this might be my favourite non-single track so far. And omg the strings at the end!!! I am a slut for strings in a pop song

 

I Still Love You - okay this wasn’t my favourite when she dropped it last week, but it sounds so great in the context of the album! Really loving this now, though I wish it was longer

 

 

 

Favourites: Misunderstood, Deadend, The Devil, Skinnydipped, Anything 4 U, Unleavable

It is! None of the deluxe tracks are new, as they are tracks from her previous two EPs.
