I get that "it ends when the head it abruptly cut off" or whatever, but still, too short. Delulu and IHYXGF are very new BANKS. She's a bitch, unnecessarily mean. Love Is Unkind is just meh. Writing on the bridge is weird. Move was okay. Cool even? I'm only saying that cause it's Banks, though. I'd never give it a second chance if it were anyone else. I'm actually liking this Best Friends more than the leak. Miss the voice cracks though what the hell is that autotune on Meddle tho 😭 those vocals were not it Make It Up was a dud since it leaked, same for Direction/I Told what the FUCK was River. Nuh uh. the writing on OWHH was very literal but OFF WITH HER HEAD OFF WITH HER HEAD OFF WITH HER HEAD OFF WITH HER HEAD OFF WITH HER HEAD OFF WITH HER HEAD OFF WITH HER HEAD OFF WITH HER HEAD OFF WITH HER HEAD OFF WITH HER HEAD OFF WITH HER HEAD 💃💃💃 it would already be a stretch to say, but I only really fw 5 of the songs (if you count Colors Meddle, not album). I'm disappointed, but I've kept my hopes down since Serpentina. so here's my rant lol 3 hours ago, Coney Island King said: Because it’s lacklustre aside from a handful of tracks sadly.

JimmyJimmy 162 Posted February 28 Follows a common theme for recent Banks album with some really standout tracks and some filler tracks that pass by unnoticed however River is the moment and it should’ve been 2x longer than it is 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A lot of generic dull mid tempo tracks that don’t really hook me in enough. It just doesn’t sound very inspired, i dunno. The singles are very good though and i also like Make It Up. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ultra Violet 19,274 Posted February 28 Definitely beats Serpentina for me but besides that, not super interesting. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rocket0212 2,129 Posted February 28 Oh...I was so bored. I hope that she at least likes what she's doing now, cause to me her music is just sad after III. Feels like trying to recreate what was good once but not evolving at all and getting less inspired. It's inoffensive but also not interesting in any way. I would rate this album 50/100. Not sure if I'm going to check her music from now on, kinda feels like a waste of time. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SarcasticBeauty 1,567 Posted March 1 Wow. I really liked many of the songs. I HATED River. What the fuck was that??? Not a fan of I Hate Your Ex either. But I didn't like it as a single either. I think attempted to go outside her box a bit and I liked it enough. I liked Serpentina according to my AM, more. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
American Whore 52,310 Posted March 1 Love is Unkind is kind of unneeded in terms of what's said on Fuck Love idk, just seems stupid and a re-tread. i like it better though i guess. maybe it's Holding Back that it reminds me of the lyrics of River really isn't bad, it's just way too short for some reason and sounds unfinished, like she rushed to put the album out and didn't bother going back to finish it. Delulu is an insta skip - the fact that a GD/LB word has made it to an artist's album is absolutely disgusting. ew. Make it Up at least is better, more finished than the leaked version I hate the album version of Best Friends. I liked the demos much better Stay needs to be remixed. the vocals are way too quiet. who the fuck mastered this album???? Meddle in the Meddle is alright I guess. just weird instrumental with the sound of the song, but i like it i guess. the second half is better i think. Direction was leaked with a different name I believe?? which is completely fine, i liked it i guess but it's a weird pick of leaks to release, same with Make it Up, weird pick to put out IHYEGF is kind of alright I guess. Totally different from everything else on this album and it doesn't fit. Idk, it's just a weird album. man, i wish she'd find a better way to blend that earlier sound into something new. she doesn't need to retread old sounds, but her voice is so good and unique, i just wanna hear it doing experimental shit again. that's what made a lot of the leaks so good and the first two albums good. serpentina was boring as fuck and this one just bland. it doesn't say much about anything and just kind of does the same thing over again but worse, unfortunately. i wonder what songs were left off of this album that she was considering. maybe after more listens, my opinion my change, but being a banks stan from day 1 it's hard to hear an artist you love go into a worse direction and release music that's not up to par with what she could make. maybe my standards are too high after lana and florence and billie and tove. 0 Quote if i fuck this model and she just bleached her asshole and i get bleach on my t-shirt, imma feel like an asshole Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anonymcomenter 4,777 Posted March 2 BANKS music has always been kinda moody and slow pasted, idk what were yall hearing until know. Tho i do agree shes sounding less and less inspired every album. At least this is not as bad a Serpentina, by far… River, Delulu, IHYEG, Move, Guillotine and Best Friends are cool. I dont care much about Stay or Direction (sounds like literally every other song of hers). Overall i dont think its as bad, shes just an artist u need to check out when ur in the mood and when it hits it hits. Dorsnt look like we are getting another Trainwreck, Gimme or Fuck With Myself… my only complaint is… whats up with all this short ass songs? Its not like shes competing for most streamed album anyways… i swear this trend has to GO! the Tove Lo collab is brilliant, strangely sounds like the perfect mix between them! Should have been released 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anonymcomenter 4,777 Posted March 2 Serpentina Holding Back Meteorite The Devil Fuck Love Like We Used To (feat. Tove Lo) Dead End Birds By the Sea Unleavable Bait (feat. Kim Petras) I Still Love You Gravel a mess still, but maybe a little less… yes, i included Bait since it feels more like a serpentina reject than a Kim song (a BOP tho) 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
