Pretend 367 Posted August 27, 2014 Neon Jungle re-released their album yesterday and got rid of Waiting Game 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sitar 22,210 Posted August 27, 2014 I did not expect so many ballads--but they are really good. Her voice is stunning (so much more than I had already thought). I wish that Stick was as upbeat as the live version though. But overall, I love that it's such a varied debut. I was especially surprised at YSKWICF and Someone New, since they weren't only ballads, but not even electronic ballads! Whereas Someone New really worked, I think You Should Know would have really benefited from some more BANKS-y production...Like Waiting Game or Change. Also Alibi definitely has SOHN's touch more than anything else he's produced for her (or anyone besides himself, for that matter). So everyone listen to his album 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edcool 106 Posted August 28, 2014 I wasn't expecting actual stick sounds in "Stick" lol Banks you little troll The album is amazing but i need the .m4a's 0 Quote Fangirling over Lorde since 1996 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
National Anthem 9,904 Posted August 28, 2014 So this was totally not what I was expecting. Not sure how I feel about all of these ballads with no electronic instrumentation (except "Someone New" which is justtttttt ), but I mean she sounds great. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iseeyouupsidedown 931 Posted August 29, 2014 Neon Jungle's Facebook Page Spammed by Angry Banks Fans The band, who were put together in 2013 after a series of auditions, are yet to comment on the controversy, but it looks like it's going to be hard to ignore. Source "put together"? So they're an attempt to recreate the success of The Spice Girls? Seriously, what's with all these basic as hell british girl groups lately? And it's seriously messed up imo that apparently it's legal to put a cover of a fairly unknown song that has never even been on an official LP on your album without credit in the title... 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sitar 22,210 Posted September 4, 2014 Now that we have AIDYC... The tracklist order is kinda fucked imo. You think it'll slay because the first five tracks sound perfect going from one to another, and then it's like...what is You Should Know doing there? So I rearranged it, as I tend to do (I literally can't listen to Electra Heart or Natalia Kills' Trouble in their original order thanks to my skills). Check it out~ It's a pretty satisfying listen this way tbh. Major changes: after keeping the first five in perfect order, I went into the real angsty songs from BIEMY to AIDYC, then transitioned to the more relaxing production based stuff (Fall Over to Bedroom Wall). Bedroom Wall gives way to the ballads nicely, though Change through UTT makes for a more optimistic ending. EDIT: Also if anyone was as curious as I was about the production credits... 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fessle 730 Posted September 11, 2014 I love Banks and have for several months now and I juuust finished a portrait I did of her, perfect timing too! Coinciding with the release. For the album, since we heard so much of it before it was released... it didn't feel like an "album release" but it is still a fantastic album and collection of work. I love the slower, sad songs that were new. Really good. But I think London as a collection felt more solid to me. 0 Quote 8/1/13 . 8/2/13 . 5/16/14 . 10/4/14 . 10/11/14 . 5/30/15 . 7/28/16 . 5/20/17 . 1/11/18 . 2/11/18 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
