Salem 872 Posted March 31, 2023 12 minutes ago, sophiesmom said: i dont care about locals tho, i care about my experience listening to the album and i can confirm my experience was definetly ✨enhanced✨ in fact I was thinking earlier about the interludes being actually included in songs and not as separate ones — while its not the most common choice, it definetly brings a different album experience. and it makes you wanna listen to the songs in full and enjoy those transitions instead of just… fading in and fading out and fading in and fading out. the songs are not chopped up and i dont think it actually gets in the way of the singles, for example I feel like there are some songs that are a lot worse than others, like Faerie Soiree is over half transition instead of being it's own track, and in other cases there's the Amulet thing that would sound better if placed at the beginning of Evil instead of the end of Nymphology. There's some like Death/Void where it's certainly less noticeable, but for some tracks it takes away from the track significantly and feels more like a way to force songs to feel more cohesive even though they were already fine without the transition. I hope Melanie eventually does an abridged version of Portals on streaming so people can listen more casually to the tracks that have long transitions and moving the vocal transitions onto the tracks they fit with (TV outro to FS intro, FS outro to LS intro, etc) 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When i listen to Nymphology I wanna listen to Nymphology, and then Amulet is a nice addie thing in between tracks that make me wanna keep listening. the same with Moon Cycle, whose sound intro is actually at the end of the contorsionist. When you click on moon cycle, the song starts right away (which is “good” for locals and playlisting and whatever), but if you listen to moon cycle in the context of the album you get to experience these small but consistent transitions 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anonymcomenter 4,675 Posted March 31, 2023 Who gave her the right to make such a Bop about periods? shaking my ass to her period cramps! the melody is so wholesome and nostalgic, I don’t know why but it makes me feel happy and cozy 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chocolate Eyes 548 Posted March 31, 2023 Void and Evil are some of the best songs she's done in a while. My feelings on the album are mixed. I like half of the songs, but then others I either don't like the melodys or production (Death sounds jumpy and I find Nymphology's chorus silly). I still prefer this album over k-12. 3 Quote 🌧️ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anonymcomenter 4,675 Posted March 31, 2023 Also, why does Tunnel Vision, Spider Web, The Contortionist, Moon Cycle and Nymphology sound really good mixed and the rest in 192kps?? It’s like they don’t belong to the same album 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DRAGONS BLOOD 15.FINGERS CROSSED 16.WOMB Ran through this playlist a few times today and I love it Moved Garden and Synchronicities (shame that one is more demo sounding, but it seems very honest that way). The transitions all work pretty well too. 10/10 2 Quote It's a beautiful life, remember that too, for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s like they don’t belong to the same album im lowkey pissed that Evil sounds muffled but I will understand it as aesthetic. Through speakers it still slaps tho 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
