MezcalPapi 300 Posted October 6, 2022 Ok, I love Rina and it hurts me to say this, but some her lyrics are terrible and it's about time we start admitting this. This new LP is such a step down from SAWAYAMA. The production, vocals and aesthetic are top notch, pero like, the lyrics are downright horrible at times. She needs to sharpen her pencil and come back stronger. 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glitter Boy 16,618 Posted October 7, 2022 yeah yeah yeah both RINA and SAWAYAMA are more unique than Hold the Girl so? While HTG is not her best album, it doesn't deserve the hate it gets, it's Rina embracing mainstream at some extent and I kinda love it. Yeah it probably lacks the lyrical brilliance of previous releases, but tbh I enjoy it for what it is not you This Hell, and particularly everything from Forgiveness through Hurricanes is excellent. Title track is fabulous as well. the only thing I still hate about this album is the horrendous cover, and maybe the chorus of This Hell. Holy might be coming for SOTY tho. 3 Quote "I'm wild, I'm free, no man can handle me" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Off To The Races 2010 demo pls 19,336 Posted October 7, 2022 The thing is... this album is way too cheesy and overwhelmed for me. While SAWAYAMA served vehement but ambiguous lyrics with some sass, HTG lyrically is corny & overloaded both lyrically and production-wise (to me). Hurricanes reminds me of something that Big Time Rush would make and Frankenstein is something Gaga would have written (") for Chromatica. By the way, This Hell, to me, is the most bitchy and sassy track from this album (something I specifically love in Rina's music), so I don't think it deserves the amount of hate it gets... Anyway Take Me As I Am best song RINA. 0 Quote "ser bella me dio privilegios, pero ser astuta me dio poder" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

californianfreak 3,484 Posted October 7, 2022 Ehhhh I absolutely love RINA and SAWAYAMA, and there are a few songs from HTG that I like. But overall I have to agree it's nowhere near as good. The album is a bit too 'loud' for me if that makes any sense, but I am hoping HTG is one of those albums that need some time to grow on you or will sound better live. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Psychedelic Pussy 30,111 Posted October 7, 2022 The only song I like on the record is Imagining. Everything else is either boring or terrible. This Hell is literally one of the worst songs I’ve ever heard, I do not see the appeal at all… the weird country voice, the cringey lyrics.. it’s hell indeed 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Finally listening to the album now I’ve received the record, Your Age is making me regret Not getting tickets to her show!
