the instrumentals are fine in some songs…

 

but the lyrics… the more I hear them… I feel my brain rotting… SHE REALLY DID COMMIT TO THE KINDERGARDEN THEME, THE LYRICS FEEL LIKE A TODDLER HAS WRITTEN THEM 

 

“I’m scared I will get thrown away like a banana peel” 

 

I could make a top 5 with her worst lyrics for each song, seriously 

detention's lyrics hurt my soul.

I forgot The Principal has that phone ringing sound which is the EXACT same tone as my work phone and it is the most triggering sound since my phone rings all day

“Stop calling up my phone tryna say that I've been out of line
When all I ever asked was to go to the bathroom” 

 

it’s bad 

 

also in Lunchbox Friends the “they want a fat ass in their brand new jeans”… she really had a thing-y for the fat ass 

 

goddamn awful 

 

and Orange Juice as a whole… the metaphor is so straight up insensitive and out off line I don’t know why hasn’t people clock that before 

 

I mean Ms Potato Head was also a little camp with a similar subject matter, but the writting at least was good on that one

Maybe Lana was lowkey a Nurses Office fan and that’s why she put a sneeze on A&W

 

But yeah this song is unlistenable.

Wait, how is it insensitive?

I like the song as a whole… but that bridge… girl that’s too much, as someone who cringes so hard with ASMR I find it extremely triggering

Maybe the intention isn’t but I don’t know… with that subject to use orange juice as a metaphor for vomit… it’s a little too graphic for me, maybe not insensitive rather distasteful?

oooh I'm late to the skips mention but here's mine:

Cry Baby - Training Wheels, Mad Hatter.

K-12 - WHEELS ON THE BUS, Class Fight, The Principal, Nurse's Office. I'd skip Orange Juice too but I like the instrumental so I let it slip. (also adding the three outtakes we have is a slight improvement)

After School - Glued

 

okay but for real if you arrange 13 brilliant CB outtakes you have a skipless album right there, even more than one

I agree a lot with you, specially in the K-12 part (I also would have included the outtakes) 

 

the thing that makes K-12s lyrics even worse is to have in consideration that came after Crybaby, wich, say what u want but had genius writting… a disappointment through and through! I wonder if Melania feels proud of that one

I started stanning Melanie like she could do no wrong, and that’s on me of course but it’s interesting how my relationship with her music has developed! 
 

At first I loved everything she did and though of her as some kind of mastermind when it comes to writting

 

the thing is when she dropped Piggyback I noticed a shift in her writting and after K-12 I started to see her as this trainwreck you can’t take your eyes off (the disappointment hit hard)… I tried to convince myself it wasn’t that bad because her making such an awful album wasn’t an option… when she released AS EP I already had lost any interest and the recent leaks… some are good some aren’t but for sure it won’t be as impactful for me as CB era was

 

Like I don’t take her that serious anymore and I think she can even be funny! Like those lyrics… made me laugh for sure and I don’t mean that as an insult at all!!

Everybody keeps saying stuff like "I don't know why y'all are so desperate for a new album, she just released the EP two years ago". But when you think of how disappointed her fans have been with her music since Cry Baby, it's obvious to see why people feel like it's been 8 years since they've gotten any decent, REAL music from her

Which is odd for me cos I've looked over the (terrible) lyrics since piggyback and have always liked something from each project so I didn't see how hated they were

You spilled 

 

for me the last thing she dropped from her “golden era” was Gingerbread Man! I might have things I like from her latter eras but it hasn’t been the same at all 

[The Siren 30,521]

Despite this reminiscing over how disappointed most fans are post- CB era, I'm still way too fucking excited for Portals

[Anonymcomenter 4,675]

Another thing I’ve noticed listening to K-12 again it’s the unnecessary use of curse words… like every song is explicit! It’s like a teenager when they start to use insults to appear more “adult”… I Dont have anything against explicit tracks at all, I think some in Cry Baby were, but here she clearly over uses it! 
 

HSS is one of the best from the album yet she has that awful line “and dammit if u fuck me over I will rip ur fucking face apart”

The After School EP is still her best work. No odd concepts, just Mel.
