Halsey

[Ultra Violet 18,412]

HFK grew on me with every year that has passed. At first I was like "this is a mess, she doesn't know what she's doing" and I suppose that's because I took her word for it that she would be doing the concept album better than the examples she gave (Born To Die and AM), which it definitely didn't succeed in doing. Imo, the album probably has half skips (the same way I see Manic) but half really good pop songs that I love unashamedly. It all seemed experimental to me, but an experimental success for sure. 

 

But still...

IICHLIWP > Badlands & Room 93 > HFK > Manic.

hopeless fountain kingdom is such a perfect album, sad she doesn't love it.

there are 3 skips for me (lies, sorry, and don’t play) BUT I think the rest is excellent and it’s a super overhated album.

i only skip the prologue and good mourning (and replace lie with the live solo VEVO presents version we have)

As opposite to what y'all are saying, I listen to like very few songs in hfk:

Eyes Closed

Heaven in Hiding

Alone

Good Mourning

Bad at Love

Devil in Me

Hopeless

 

Besides those, I sometimes play 100 Leters, Now or Never and Walls Could Talk. The rest

And I absolutely despise Don't Play

don't play high key the worst thing she's ever released. agree that the songs you list are the best ones on hfk– bad at love & now are never still hit so hard (the first halsey songs i liked).

I definitely see it that way too tbh, it's just lately I've been so much more appreciative of HFK! I have to give it some credit bc I've probably slandered it before

It's a shame there are no more outtakes or the nightmare demo. 

 

But I'm very excited ♥ this album is her best.

Didn't even know of a deluxe's existence but some outtakes would've been more appreciated. BUT I'm glad she's promoting her best album properly

From my Dbree husband @111

[rightofjupiter 15,809]

ok i LOVE these demos...the lilith one especially good, very manic imo.

[Ultra Violet 18,412]

I can definitely see why they changed 1121 for the final version to get the message across more, but the demo has that energy that You asked for this/People dissappear here has, which is honestly my favourite vibe from Halsey.

Im SO glad they changed Honey to a rock song. I cannot say it would have been a top track for me if it had remained like its demo. 

I feel neutral about the Lilith demo, but I do think I like the album one better, surprisingly, because I thought it was pretty dull on first listen. 

 

This whole album process is really fascinating tbh, like some of the tracks were more rock in their demos then changed more electronic/pop (?), then some were changed to be less rock from their demos. I remember hearing that they changed a lot of the production to get the lyrics across more and I agree with every single choice that was made. I wish we could have heard the Girl Is A Gun demo, because that was one of the demos where she said the production changed a lot.
