Anonymcomenter 4,675 Posted March 31, 2023 All this songs about “white cis men” or “the patriarchy”… so tired already! This victim mentality has to go already so in my head this will be about a man who loves period sex, period at least the beat slaps Also, love how she tried giving Tunnel Vision a deeper meaning than what it actually has (to all the songs really)… sure Jan she should try not to be that enlightened and pedantic (wtf is that hypnotherapy thing?) because that’s where her lyrics get bad in my opinion. Yet half of the album are diss tracks to Oliver Tree to sound cunty bitch just admit ur angry at the ugly man, we wouldn’t mind a revenge album at all! Gays love conflict… get her Jade! Nothing wrong writting about relatively superficial topics. She’s so afraid of being seen as basic she ends up being just that! 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rocket0212 2,055 Posted March 31, 2023 I really dislike this woman for some reason but I decided to give this album a listen cause visuals caught my attention... Spoiler 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tulsa jesus freaks 9,370 Posted March 31, 2023 obviously after CB she grew up, but i feel like she's going more and more towards a direction that i don't vibe with, all this talking about supernatural and stuff i don't believe in, it's hard for me to connect to that, it's kinda giving demi lovato talking with alien ghosts. i'm happy if she's in a happy place and in peace (sounds like im talking about her death lol) which seems to be the case, so im glad, but idk maybe im just not there yet? or maybe i find happiness and inner peace in different things, idk im just not a spiritual person and this album is all about that. the good thing about music is that you can give it your own meaning and interpretation so we'll see how it grows on me 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

13 Bitches 2,642 Posted March 31, 2023 also she pretty much confirmed that she’s making the next album with cj baran too how many album cycles do we have to go through for her to realize that her best music is always produced by k&ol 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lindsay Lohan 10,437 Posted March 31, 2023 Wow this album was great, much better then k-12 and after school which were arguably.... trash. I think every song is excellent except Spider Web which lacks compared to the rest of the album. I didn't even mind Moon Cycle, huge improvement from the horrible leaked version. CJ BARAN WE LIKE YOU!! 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rocket0212 2,055 Posted March 31, 2023 I was thinking about Grimes way too often while listening to this but like a watered-down pop version. Wanna listen to Miss Anthropocene now. Saved Tunnel Vision, Faerie Soiree and Light Shower. Not sure if I'm gonna keep them though. I was really bored in the 2nd half, feels like visuals are a lil too edgy for this kind of music. 60/100 for me. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sadness is a butterfly 5,795 Posted March 31, 2023 The more she talks about the album the less I like it . Why is she acting like Tunnel Vision is the only leaked song on the album? She’s got tons to say about Moon Cycle, Faerie Soiree, and Leeches, but TV she’s like well I couldn’t write a better song so it stayed She really hates K&OL for some reason. Someone needs to tell her she makes her best music with them. I would have never guessed the theme was about death and the space in between or whatever if she didn’t say so. The only songs that seem remotely tied to that concept are Death, Void, Leeches, and Womb. Tunnel Vision, Moon Cycle, The Contortionist have no meaning like that at all that I can tell. Spider Web is about people being addicted to their phones for gods sake All that said, I genuinely like the album. It’s not as good as it could have been, but I like it. I’m just going to enjoy it for the music, but her explanations of things make me shake my head, as do the visuals. 6 Quote It's a beautiful life, remember that too, for me.

Tunnel Vision is the only one she actually co-wrote with Kinetics & One Love — Faerie Soirée, Moon Cycle and Leeches were toplines she wrote on other producers' instrumentals, that later got sent to K&OL (I don't think One Love ever re-produced Leeches, but the leaked versions of MC and FS were definitely done by him). So that could have something to do with it? 4 Quote wanna get to heaven, so let's get high Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tunnel Vision is the only one she actually co-wrote with K&OL, so that could have something to do with it too I wonder if she was some how obligated to include one song with them or something? I mean they spent all that time in Hawaii, to use nothing at all. Like you said before it’s surprising the other leaks don’t have either of them credited on them at all. I feel like maybe the label insisted or maybe she had a deal with K&OL for at least one song and she’s salty about having to include it. Pretty much putting any hopes to rest that there’s any leaks on a possible Deluxe, MAYBE one song (my bet would be Dragons Blood with all the dragon visuals, or Garden since there are so many Garden references). 2 Quote It's a beautiful life, remember that too, for me.

I edited my post a bit before you quoted to elaborate more on Faerie Soirée, Moon Cycle and Leeches! I love CJ Baran and his production, but it'd be a real shame if Melanie isn't on good terms with K&OL anymore. CJ didn't even tag them in his post about the album, but tagged randoms like Simon and Jared ⚰️ 4 Quote wanna get to heaven, so let's get high Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I get not wanting to work with the same producer forever, but they really helped her become the artist she is during the CB era, and they have something special when they make music together. 2 Quote It's a beautiful life, remember that too, for me.

Coloringbooks 14,011 Posted March 31, 2023 2 hours ago, 13 Bitches said: i hate this bitch og death is one of her most beautiful songs Death (2020) is pretty but has nothing on the new one imo Regarding Tunnel Vision; I've seen some people not liking the new version, and tbh I wasn't feeling it either on the first listen since I was so used to K&OL's v1– but it grew on me quickly after a few more listens. The song improved A LOT. 4 Quote wanna get to heaven, so let's get high Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sadness is a butterfly 5,795 Posted March 31, 2023 It’s weird to me that she’s performed Tunnel Vision in every live performance leading up to this release, you’d think she really liked it or something, then she makes two sassy remarks in the live performances about people knowing the words, and then when asked to talk about the song for Apple she brings up the fact that it leaked again and how much she wanted to ‘trash it’! It was also heavily used in the promo clips, including the literal album announcement. 2 Quote It's a beautiful life, remember that too, for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
