forgiveness is straight up a 2000’s avril lavigne track it makes me tear up every time i listen. my number one right now 

it gives me I’m with you and tomorrow vibe

[Coney Island King 26,002]

Forgiveness is one of the worst songs she has ever done. It’s beyond generic.

[Voignamir 4,265]

i rarely enjoy albums on the first listen but she SNAPPED, picking favs will be hard

[Time 1,775]

Pitchfork hit the nail on its head once again!

[DeadSeaOfMercury 22,973]

Still no shipping notification, I fear this is going to be like crash and get an email at some point today saying it’s delayed by a month or 2…

[SalvaWHORE 34,006]

idk guys,the album wasnt bad but it lacks something.

 

It lacks soul.

[Mountain 1,889]

[blameitonme 15,673]

It won’t be on streaming 

[Glitter Boy 16,558]

Holy (Til You Let Me Go) is the one for me. It's... impeccable

Stream/BUY Hold The Girl!

https://rinasawayama.ffm.to/holdthegirl

[Inferno Euphoria 6,494]

This could have been a better album had it been shortened imo:

1. Hold The Girl

2. Frankenstein

3. Your Age

4. Imagining

5. Send My Love To John

6. Hurricanes

7. This Hell

8. Holy

9. Catch Me In The Air

10. Phantom

 

And obviously with the HTG single cover as the album cover

 

But yeah overall it's a downgrade from her first two projects but it's still great imo

[Dominikx4 25,408]

IM HOLY TILL U LET ME GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Dominikx4 25,408]

my ranking for now:

Spoiler

1 Holy (Till You Let Me Go) 2 Imagining 3 Catch Me In The Air 4 Hold The Girl 5 Your Age 6 To Be Alive 7 Frankenstein 8 Minor Feelings 9 Phantom 10 Hurricanes 11 Forgiveness 12 Send My Love to John 13 This Hell

 

where is Flavour of the Month? Our Japanese friends need to come thru

[the ocean 67,601]

i know i already gave my review but let me just post my ranking

 

Spoiler

 

1. hurricanes (12/10 - cleared my skin watered my crops evaporated my trauma etc)

2. holy (til you let me go) (11/10 - dance pop from heaven)

3. imagining (11/10 - hyperpop from heaven)

4. hold the girl (11/10 - the gen z version of like a prayer)

5. catch me in the air (10/10 - excellent pop rock)

6. frankenstein (10/10 - getting punched in the stomach but it's an aesthetic)

7. forgiveness (9.5/10 - classic rock but yassified)

8. minor feelings (9/10 - excellent intro; -1 point for not having much replay value)

9. your age (8.5/10 - very solid song; gets a little stale after multiple plays)

10. this hell (8/10 - inoffensive bop)

11. phantom (8/10 - very good song but hurricanes, forgiveness & catch me in the air are superior)

12. send my love to john (7.5/10 - i appreciate the sentiment but it falls a little flat especially placed where it's at in the tracklist)

13. to be alive (7/10 - the chosen family of the album, although it's significantly better than it)

 

 

edit: to be alive clicked hard like 5 minutes after i posted this i'd put it between forgiveness & minor feelings with a 9

 

overall this is a 10, a hard slay & a gift straight from the bottom of mother lake

[LunaeManifestum 8,305]

Giving my first listen now, havent heard any singles off it until now 

[dollanganger 5,104]

i was nervous before and the only single i'd listened to was this hell but i love how the album sounds

[Honeyyoung 17,096]

phantom is a masterpiece of a song. your age is a bop. forgiveness and frankenstein are good. the singles are cute. everything else looks straight out of the credits of a teenage disney movie. huge stepdown from sawayama

[the ocean 67,601]

just did some researching and this might already be known but the japanese cd is actually released the 17th (so tomorrow for me, i guess it's technically already the 17th in japan) so flavor of the month should be released shortly

 

also my cd is coming the 19th so i will send pics of that when it comes
