Yellow 824 Posted March 30, 2023 My favorites are faerie soiree and tunnel vision. Death, the contortionist and spider web are also very up there. I love the new guitar in faerie soiree. It needs to be loud n high qual for the whole experience 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hashtagtylerh 3,934 Posted March 30, 2023 the transitions are fine in a first listen but imo they really hurt replayability. they should've just been made interludes tbh, idk what Melanie was thinking. but it's fine I just edited them out and made them separate anyways so it works overall I really like Portals I'd give it an 8/10 favs: Death, Void, Tunnel Vision, Light Shower (this is my #1 song idk why you guys hate it), The Contortionist Spider Web could've been amazing with a different chorus the verses are so good idk why they ruined the song like that lol 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

13 Bitches 2,642 Posted March 30, 2023 the way I’ve always wanted a CJ Baran-produced album so I got punished with EVIL BOTL and MOON CYCLE instead 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salem 872 Posted March 30, 2023 After a few hours of sitting with Portals, I don't see myself returning to it beyond the occasional listen of 1-2 tracks. I tried to give it as many chances as I could (listening through it a few different times on different headphones) but I just can't get behind the way they've handled not only the production but the mixing and mastering. A lot of tracks feel both like they've been overworked but also unfinished (the worst of this being Void). Songs I loved the demos of like Tunnel Vision and Faerie Soiree seem over-sterilized in a way that removes much of their charm, while Leeches had so much added to it only to remove a lot of what I loved about the session in the final mixing process. There's also the transitions, which remove a lot of the replay value songs like The Contortionist otherwise would've had. I had hope for this project after hearing she had worked with a few different people during the sessions, but ultimately what was released was another sole-producer project that, in my opinion, is on par with the quality of K-12 despite there being so many career-best tracks within the Portals sessions. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
