Thunder Revenant 20,943 Posted August 23, 2015 Castle is a great intro and I like the bitter undertone. Hold Me Down isn't really a song I ever liked and I still think it's one of her weaker ones. New Americana is a cool song, a little bit overproduced at some parts but still a standout. Drive is .. ok. It has some nice moments like her vocals and the guitar but it's a bit ... messy aswell. Hurricane keeps it's place as an awesome song (I think her Room 93 EP was a very strong one) Roman Holiday is a sweet song, maybe single material but I don't like it too much as a stand-alone-song. Ghost is still my favourite Halsey song. I don't actually know how to feel about Colors ... Still have to figure out if I like it or if I just think of it as "ok". Part 2 is a very nice interlude, it's actually a shame she didn't do a full song with this vibe. I don't like her vocal style in Strange Love, at least not during the verses. The chorus of the song is pretty nice though. Coming Down is a pretty good song, I like the calm yet somehow "simmering" instrumental and her vocals. Haunting is .. well, a "solid" Halsey song. It's nice and maybe it will grow on me more with time. Gasoline is a fun song, not too spectacular but definitly good and i don't get why it's not on the standard version. Control is my favourite new song. I feel about Young God in a similar way like I feel about Haunting. It's a "typical" Halsey song, nice but not too overwhelming. I Walk The Line is a great album outro and I actually wish it would be longer. I love her "exhausted" vocals and the drums during the chorus. 2 Quote Just do it. Just do it - don't wait!

American Money 681 Posted August 23, 2015 So should I preorder the Target exclusive? Do you all think it's worth it? I haven't listened to the album yet. 0 Quote Nothing scares me anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luckyonewithoutyou 1,929 Posted August 23, 2015 So should I preorder the Target exclusive? Do you all think it's worth it? I haven't listened to the album yet. There's a price cut right now, it's basically the deluxe edition, and the album (to me) is spectacular so I recommend it! But if you want to hear it first before you buy, there's a DL link I posted a few pages back 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bootynugget 2,926 Posted August 23, 2015 I actually like Castle, Hold Me Down sounds like a Lorde rejectThat's disrespectful lmao I only really like Castle, Gasoline, New Americana, Hurricane, Hold Me Down and Ghost. The rest I really wanted to like but I'm on like my 3rd listen and I'm just not feeling them 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AKA Lizzy Grant 2,238 Posted August 23, 2015 I gave the album a fair chance: I liked Castle & Young God, but the rest of the songs sound very try hard and overproduced imo...But most of the lyrics are cringe worthy. Also Colors. pt 2 was so extra lmao 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SirAlex 71 Posted August 23, 2015 Its available in the US store, I don't know if you're willing to pay the extra for shipping or if it will let you Thanks but they only ship in the US And I'm not 100% sure if they really still have it, because myplaydirect often has wrong stock information 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StarryEyed 397 Posted August 23, 2015 Hopefully her next album's concept is stronger, I don't think it's possible to understand Badlands' concept without watching the trailer or some interviews. It's in her mind but not really on the album itself. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drewby 9,246 Posted August 23, 2015 when the songs are good, they're good and when they're bad, they're awful the lyrics in Strange Love are cringeworthy 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Divisive Princess 3,754 Posted August 23, 2015 I'm going to be completely honest, I really didn't like this album at all. I'm not some Halsey-hater or anything, but I gave the album a good, solid chance and it just felt very faux-deep. The one song that stuck out to me that I love is Hurricane. I had already liked that song before and I was hoping for more songs along that speed. Maybe the album will grow on me, but I just had trouble understanding the concept. I might try it again, but that's what I'm feelin from this album. 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's in her mind but not really on the album itself. I'm listening her album now and I can't really get where the "concept album" comes from. Do you remember in which interview she explains it? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick 857 Posted August 23, 2015 https://twitter.com/halsey/status/635585440884457472 At least she's learned to take a positive attitude about the leak I still need to listen to most of the album. The studio versions of Colors and Roman Holiday are just as great as I was expecting tho 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you remember in which interview she explains it?basically the "badlands" are the dark parts of halsey's mind. It kinda makes more sense when you watch the badlands trailer 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
320kbps 3,633 Posted August 23, 2015 Ooo this album was the definition of underwhelming tbh. I expected more after the EP but I just can't really get into any of this. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
