sadness is a butterfly 5,796 Posted March 27, 2023 I kinda think she might have blown her chance to appeal to the masses with this album. Death did really well and brought a lot of eyes on her work, but I think people are going to be disappointed with the album overall. Predictions: Death, Void, Tunnel Vision, Faerie Soiree, and Evil will be widely liked. Moon Cycle, Nymphology, Spider Web, and to some degree The Contortionist will be polarizing and most people will not like them. The rest of the tracks are just sort of unremarkable, non offensive (unless you figure out the double meaning of Light Shower). 2 Quote It's a beautiful life, remember that too, for me.

Anonymcomenter 4,675 Posted March 27, 2023 I mean… Light Shower is tired and overused already… many songs have used water as a sexual innuendo before and better: Madonna: Liquid Love, Holy Water or Rain Miley Cyrus: River Lizzo: Water Me Kylie Minogue: Mighty Rivers RAYE: Waterfall Kary Perry: Tsunami LIZ: Laguna Nights No Doubt: Bathwater or even other similar elements: Mirah Carey: Honey Katy Perry: Hummingbird Heartbeat, Bon Appetit or Milk Milk Lemonade Slayyyter: Candy LMFAO: Champagne Showers (feat. Natalia Kills) Doja Cat: Candy or Cookie Jar Those to mention a few! I don’t have anything against it, I love sexual references in water related songs but in this case it’s really bad and the song doesn’t live up the expectation! 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t have anything against it, I love sexual references in water related songs but in this case it’s really and the song doesn’t live up the expectation! Light Shower is already one of three slow songs on the album as well. I think if we weren't also getting Leeches and Womb it wouldn't be aging as quickly. It's length also doesn't help it, and I honestly feel like it would be better as a whole if it didn't go past the 3:00 mark just because it has a tendency to feel so long due to it's pace in a way that songs like Sirens don't. A lot of songs from Portals have weird structures that make them feel almost never-ending, and it's not usually in a good way. With so few having bridges, it can really make what would otherwise be a small thing sound much worse. For example, BOTL has a super short second verse, which on it's own would be fine but alongside having no bridge it feels like over half the song is a repeated chorus run. I am going to give the album one good listen through on release just to give it a final chance, but so far of the new content I've only really found myself going back to 1-2 songs (and streaming the demos for the previously leaked ones) just because the transitions on these tracks makes them much harder to stream casually. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We don't care what you think about her fans (and that mentally unstable and limited intellectual capacity parts were really uncalled). I think it’s pretty clear I’m not referring to ALL her fans… if u feel personally attacked I’m sorry but I stand by it Being a fan doesn’t mean to idolize your fave and eat up everything she does. Even Melanie has critiqued this kind of behavior plenty of times U can tell most of them don’t even care for the music or the quality she puts out (they are only there for the aesthetics). This is very evident in the listening parties where no one would shut up and listen to the actual songs… or when they received the snippet eggs and exploited that for clout Being critical of an artist doesn’t mean u hate them, I actually like Melanie and even enjoy some of her “bad” songs… but facts are facts her career has taken an unexpected turn for me, and since this is an open discussion I’m sorry u don’t care about my opinion… but I will give it anyway… stay pressed or cry me a river 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is all really true, I was feeling the same way about how a lot of these songs sound very long, and like you said not in a good way. On the same note, I wish TV and FS were longer. TV only has two verses and two choruses, and then an inflated run time with two outros. I never cared much for the original outro, though they have improved it some. I would have much preferred another verse and chorus, and one outro. 2 Quote It's a beautiful life, remember that too, for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am all for long songs as long as it adds to the final product! I don’t mind the practical sounds as much as others do, but the structure in Evil, Void and BOTL make them a bit boring to me… feels like the chorus over and over again (eventhough I really like Evil) I must admit, at least she’s not givin up to the streaming era! Im sooooo sick of these 2 minute songs, and that deserves some credit BOTL is not completely bad but doesn’t have any business in the album… another more thematically fitting song could have had the spot, but she rather trash her ex lowkey iconic 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I never cared much for the original outro, though they have improved it some. I would have much preferred another verse and chorus, and one outro. Yeah that was another thing I picked up on with a lot of the finished album. Songs that would've benefitted from having extra runtime were extended with long transitions to/from the surrounding tracks instead of truly adding new content to the song. In a lot of ways, Portals embodies being an album length version of After School, with a lot of the same problems, but I think the biggest thing that is going to turn off casual listeners is that the album is pretty clearly intended to be listened to in track list order. The transitions being on every song really deter just putting them into a playlist with whatever else you want to listen to, because hearing a minute long transition from Faerie Soiree into a random Britney Spears song or something would feel really goofy. 1 minute ago, Anonymcomenter said: U are so right!
