Maybe the intention isn’t but I don’t know… with that subject to use orange juice as a metaphor for vomit… it’s a little too graphic for me, maybe not insensitive rather distasteful? 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Glitter Boy 16,558 Posted February 28, 2023 oooh I'm late to the skips mention but here's mine: Cry Baby - Training Wheels, Mad Hatter. K-12 - WHEELS ON THE BUS, Class Fight, The Principal, Nurse's Office. I'd skip Orange Juice too but I like the instrumental so I let it slip. (also adding the three outtakes we have is a slight improvement) After School - Glued okay but for real if you arrange 13 brilliant CB outtakes you have a skipless album right there, even more than one 5 Quote "I'm wild, I'm free, no man can handle me" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if Melania feels proud of that one 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anonymcomenter 4,675 Posted February 28, 2023 I started stanning Melanie like she could do no wrong, and that’s on me of course but it’s interesting how my relationship with her music has developed! At first I loved everything she did and though of her as some kind of mastermind when it comes to writting the thing is when she dropped Piggyback I noticed a shift in her writting and after K-12 I started to see her as this trainwreck you can’t take your eyes off (the disappointment hit hard)… I tried to convince myself it wasn’t that bad because her making such an awful album wasn’t an option… when she released AS EP I already had lost any interest and the recent leaks… some are good some aren’t but for sure it won’t be as impactful for me as CB era was Like I don’t take her that serious anymore and I think she can even be funny! Like those lyrics… made me laugh for sure and I don’t mean that as an insult at all!! 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ButterflyBones 2,238 Posted February 28, 2023 Everybody keeps saying stuff like "I don't know why y'all are so desperate for a new album, she just released the EP two years ago". But when you think of how disappointed her fans have been with her music since Cry Baby, it's obvious to see why people feel like it's been 8 years since they've gotten any decent, REAL music from her 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Siren 30,521 Posted February 28, 2023 Despite this reminiscing over how disappointed most fans are post- CB era, I'm still way too fucking excited for Portals 6 Quote Last.FM | Discogs | JOYRIDE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anonymcomenter 4,675 Posted February 28, 2023 Another thing I’ve noticed listening to K-12 again it’s the unnecessary use of curse words… like every song is explicit! It’s like a teenager when they start to use insults to appear more “adult”… I Dont have anything against explicit tracks at all, I think some in Cry Baby were, but here she clearly over uses it! HSS is one of the best from the album yet she has that awful line “and dammit if u fuck me over I will rip ur fucking face apart” 9 minutes ago, The Siren said: Despite this reminiscing over how disappointed most fans are post- CB era, I'm still way too fucking excited for Portals me too! 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
