drewlwhite 1,296 Posted March 12, 2022 Spoiler crash - nice opener, tho i thought it would've been more dark toned new shapes - banger, you get it or you don't, but it bangs good ones - a bridge would've been a perfect topping but still a 10/10 constant repeat - bops but outro should've been a post chorus. hate the lenghts. beg for you - it's not bad, but neither good. you just listen and sing to it but it lacks that oomph move me - idk why you're not talking more abt this, its such a cutie baby - mmmm....BABY. lightning - i claimed this one but...it's not really it after the first chorus. gets annoyingly repetitive quickly and drags on for too long. overproduced is a term i hate cause it's almost always used improperly, but THIS is the definition of overproduced. every rule - i like it, but it's basically IDWK pt.2. but i love myself a little 80s prom slow dance moment yuck - this one does nothing for me atm. needs more listens for sure used to know me - this is it. it's dark, it's slutty, it's dance and the good ones character comes thru. this is what the lead and sell your soul aesthetic made me think the album would sound like twice - cute, but kinda forgettable, especially amongst her closers, kinda flat production wise. I expected a lot more tbh. It's good overall, but lacks something. Also most of the non singles are as far from mainstream as possible, many tracks could be tacked on HIFN(twice), CHARLI(every rule, lightning, crash) or Pop2(move me) as Bsides. And at last, it suffers SO BADLY from the lenght and structure of the tracks, like i blinked and it was already at half album, by the time you get into the vibe of the songs, they end abruptly. Makes me want to not listen again cause i'm not the type to play on repeat songs long as a fart lol, that was a choice surely. 7/7.5 if i had to rate it? among 9/10s tho hope it grows a little on me 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildstar 1,119 Posted March 12, 2022 I was reading the comments on her Twitter and omg I feel so bad for her.. those people rubbing in the fact that it leaked as if its some funny joke. I get that it's not that serious but honestly I wouldn't blame her if she stopped using social media, it's really getting out of hand imo. These people are acting like she is their puppet or something. I can't imagine what she feels reading like 100 comments that go like "we already heard it" "we know now give us the deluxe". Just so disrespectful urgh. Sorry I had to get that off my chest lol. 25 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The songs aren't bad but it just felt like very bland to me as a whole, even though the songs are good. idk? no hate to those who love it though, its just my personal feelings about it 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(except that vroom vroom is rather low but i can look past that) Actually the only reason why Vroom Vroom is good is its title track (or at least Trophy). And thats pretty much about the EP, majority of the gays literally remember only "Vroom Vroom". Paradise & Secrets are forgettable (Secret might have that really weird experimental production, but the lyrics lost me). 2 Quote @WHORE OF TROPICO ⇨ @SALVAWHORE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
