letsescapelizzy 672 Posted September 21, 2015 "I walk the line" is so dark,, but sooooo good. (I just realized it reminds me of the production on cruel world a little bit.. same sorta vibe.. fucking awesome.) love the instrumentals/beats in "Color part 2".. total narco swing vibe.. "Roman Holiday" amazingness at its finest. Actually RH should have been the lead single for commercial radio.. "New Americana" is my least favorite, but the CD version sounds pretty good. Like she mentioned in an interview, (Beats one with Zane Lowe), for people who took the words literally. Its all sung in Satire. (new americana). Gasoline and Young god and Hurricane and Drive all mind blowing. for me thats alot of great songs on one album. i don't find that kinda album too often. by anyone. nice when it happens. I can have all 16 songs playing on repeat, and i dont skip any of them tbh. very great concept album with great cohesion. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
National Anthem 9,906 Posted September 21, 2015 there's a standard and deluxe album version? I just have the CD with 16 songs. Yeah that's the deluxe version. The standard does not include Hurricane, Colors, Pt. II, Strange Love, Gasoline, or I Walk the Line. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick 857 Posted September 21, 2015 I still haven't a clue why Colors Pt. II was at all necessary. It adds nothing. It just sounds like a concert interlude. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
comeintomybedroom 8,663 Posted September 21, 2015 I still haven't a clue why Colors Pt. II was at all necessary. It adds nothing. It just sounds like a concert interlude. then people complain when a little intro/outro is tacked on to a song. at the top of my head i remember when trouble by natalia kills came out, people were like "waa why does television have that intro she shouldve separated it from the song" 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know that Walk The Line is a cover, right? And NARCO SWING? What? I still haven't a clue why Colors Pt. II was at all necessary. It adds nothing. It just sounds like a concert interlude. It's perfect. I love it. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just don't see why it was a necessary addition lol. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KillForLove 13,362 Posted September 22, 2015 Colors pt II just feels very weird to me because even if you listen to it immediately following Colors or combine the two tracks, it still seems/sounds super out of place and too sonically different to the song to be a proper outro. It sounds like one of those cheesy, quickly thrown together sound bites that they use on tours when the performer needs to run offstage to change/get a sip of water but still keep the crowd hyped 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Creyk 11,730 Posted September 22, 2015 I listened to everything by her but I only like 6 songs.... Drive - Sounds amazing I really like it New Americana - I love the National Anthem influence, I hope it will be a successful single for her Hurricane - Amazing chorus, so good Roman Holiday - This just sounds great, I don't have anything else to say about it. She also really slays the live performance of this song Colors - Great song but the bridge is such a cringe-worthy mess Luckily it was easy to edit it out of the song. Strange Love - I think this could be a great single, it's very catchy 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

heartbreakhigh 739 Posted September 22, 2015 I love colors p2 i feel like it is the transition from the *happier side of the album to the darker side, when she leaves/enters the badlands. and i think its a very well put together song, even if it doesnt necessarily go with colors. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nowornever 392 Posted September 22, 2015 Colors Part II is nice. If it wasn't there, I wouldn't really notice, but it's a really good interlude 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Totally agree 100% with this. You are correct! thats exactly how it is intended to be. The production is amazing.
