Powder's really good, actually? All the deluxe tracks are good. I think some of you hate just to hate sometimes. :thumb3: 

 

I think it's about her watching a boyfriend or friend lose themselves to drugs (powder).

 

I'm happy she gave us a few more rock-leaning tracks!

Yes and the vocal effect is to represent the buzzy/fuzzy kinda sound and feeling that coke gives you and what not

I'm using Spotify and I'm streaming them the way they are but I wish on streaming and CDs etc. she'd have made the album less of a soundtrack and maybe make the interludes their own thing too

i agree, she should have gone the way of Janet Jackson and put the interludes as their own track :true:

Surprised to see all the Powder hate omg I really love this song. But I shouldn't be surprised by the taste difference since most of y'all on here are full on Melanie stans and I don't even like most of K-12 and After School bshdf. Anyways, I really love these deluxe tracks. Having Milk of the Siren as the closing track feels very correct. I still don't like the track run from Moon Cycle to Evil (with the exception of the song at the end of Nymphology, that was cute) but this album's really growing on me. It really needed a good deluxe so it had more defining tracks and I'm glad it delivered.

The album definitely feels more complete to me now. Super happy with it overall.

 

(Of course we'll have to wait forever now to get the deluxe on vinyl.)

if at all :defeated:

I feel like it's easy to be frustrated with the Portals era released tracks when the tracks we heard from the leaks were *so* good. I think just about anyone here would've rather we got something like Garden over Moon Cycle, or Needle & Thread over Pluto. We saw some of her career best within the leaked sessions, and while I'm glad three of these tracks made it to final release (with differing degrees of quality in their reworks, Sirens being by far the best handled of the bunch) I wish we'd seen more of them, or songs similar to them, instead of tracks like Spider Web and Evil. 

Edit: Another thing I forgot to mention, but it's easy to feel like some of the weaker elements of the sessions made it into these new tracks while abandoning the stronger ones. Ex: Powder has that vocal effect, which was present but better used on many of the scrapped sessions due to their unique melodies and vocal delivery, which is something that is lacking on the final album because a lot of the tracks feel like they were over-thought lyrically and became too wordy or just over worked.
