Halsey

[Honeybear 2,047]

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.

[National Anthem 9,902]

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.

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/

this is a mess

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

Look, I'm fairly sure she didn't produce this at all, if there's anyone to call a fraud it's Lido

oh god like no one cares. lana or whoever your fav is could honestly have never written an original lyric in her life for all we really know. It's not gonna make me stop listening to her, even if such a tragedy would be exposed.

Ugh Strange Love is SO fucking good

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.

[StarryEyed 396]

I'm talking 'bout my generation

Talking 'bout that newer nation

And if you don't like it

You can beat it, beat it, baby

You never liked the way I said it

If you don't get it, then forget it

'Cuz I don't have to fucking explain it

Soooo ...  where's the Drive Demo at?

[thatsomason 1,201]

Soooo ... where's the Drive Demo at?

I got my boxset yesterday and the drive demo is similar to the album version but with this weird electro intro and her voice is autotuned

[DeadAgainst 1,515]

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?

[JudgingYou 196]

Drive demo is on timblr

[Plastic Rainbow 32]

I'm obsessed with Gasoline and Young God

[AKA Lizzy Grant 2,238]

Reminder it's ending in 4 hours

[Atom Heart 1,929]

Still, it eludes me how different she looks

Its Sideara St. Claire, but she kinda does resemble Halsey.
