ButterflyBones 2,238 Posted May 10, 2023 4 hours ago, The Siren said: I partially agree. Yes the album as a whole seems weak and rushed, but the songs (mostly) are still huge bops imo. We so have her to be.for the rewriting of songs with the same song titles looking for a better version of that song We were (also) robbed of the original death and void Exactly. Her music is good, her ideas are great. But sometimes it's like she overthinks it at the last minute and scraps anything that stands out too much, leaving things sounding underdone. The unreleased vs. released issue is the perfect example of that: You'll get 20 leaks forming a clear narrative with great production even on a demo, that all fit perfectly together without being carbon copies of each other. Then the finished album comes out with none of the best songs on it, almost every song sounding the same and overall feeling so watered down. After School almost gave us History, Maze, Under the Desk, Function, Absorb, etc. But instead we got Notebook, Brain & Heart, Field Trip, and Glued. Regardless of how any of us feel about those songs, they are nowhere near as good as the unreleased. It goes without saying that Portals suffers from the same problem and would've been infinitely more successful with better mastering and a tracklist involving more of the leaked songs. It's just interesting to think about how different her career might be if she had chosen different/stronger tracklists throughout her discography. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
