Honeybear 2,047 Posted September 2, 2015 I listened to Badlands and honestly, I like it sooooo much. I like every song with the exclusion of New Americana and Drive, everything else is amazing. It's she's not the most original artist out there, but a lot of musicians need time to disover their own sound. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
National Anthem 9,904 Posted September 5, 2015 So I've never been very vocal about my thoughts on Halsey but for some reason she always rubbed me wrong and I think because of so many other people not liking her and all the crap I heard, it made me not want to like her either. Today I listened to the standard version of BADLANDS straight through and I totally, completely loved it. It made me furious that she has gotten so much hate for this project and that it actually affected me enough to the point where I was avoiding giving her a real chance up until now. The only song that didn't really hit me on first listen from the standard edition was "Young God", but it is such a great album and I can't wait to listen to it more. I'm here y'all. 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lana De Los Reyes 2,017 Posted September 5, 2015 Also the Hurricane instrumental kinda has the same beats (intro/outro) used in MPG you're right, also most of you probably know the NA rip off but still i wanted to show you it is real: http://picosong.com/JLdB/ 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

comeintomybedroom 8,657 Posted September 5, 2015 could you imagine how many songs would sound alike if we took the time to slow down one so it matches the beat of the other 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not gonna make me stop listening to her, even if such a tragedy would be exposed. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anthem 1,558 Posted September 5, 2015 for some reason she always rubbed me wrong and I think because of so many other people not liking her and all the crap I heard, it made me not want to like her either I feel like this is 75% of the reason people who don't like her don't. But good on you @@National Anthem for giving her a try! I was the same way too tbh. I feel like a lot of people are in our situation where they heard so much and never liked her without hearing the music and once they actually gave it a chance they realized she isn't nearly as bad as people say. But that's just what I've noticed from the handful of people that have said similar things as us on the forum. It's a shame. 2 Quote Goddesses don't speak in whispers. They scream.

DeadAgainst 1,515 Posted September 5, 2015 Despite what Pitchfork says, I never hear the Lana influence except that she uses generic canned beats, which really underscores the production laziness with this album http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/20951-badlands/?utm_campaign=search&utm_medium=site&utm_source=search-ac I mean, if she did sound like her rival, I'd probably like it more -- where are the fucking "saccharine strings"? Where is the lo-fi crunch? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Atom Heart 1,929 Posted September 6, 2015 Still, it eludes me how different she looks Its Sideara St. Claire, but she kinda does resemble Halsey. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
