Soobin Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Just now, Freakshowvato said: Why is Unbroken so hated It literally turned me into a Demi stan. Lightweight, Hold Up, Together, In Real Life, Fix A Heart, For The Love Of A Daughter, Unbroken.... all bops The issue is I don't necessarily hate it but the majority of it hasn't aged gracefully, the first four tracks are out of place and it sounds extremely dated in the current soundscape. It's like listening to 2010s faceless electro fodder, as much as it has some of Demi's all-time grails such as MLILAS. I love GYHAB and the ballads, the rest...

ATRL Moderator Ampersand13 Posted June 15, 2022 ATRL Moderator Share Posted June 15, 2022 Can we talk about the outtakes from TAOSO because I’ve been listening to them obsessively for weeks - Hope Is a Scary Thing, It’s All Good, Killing You Softly, Eden, Emotional Top Shelf, Bad Ideas, Forget You they are literally all good, Demi could’ve easily released a double album I fear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soobin Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 ... leaves me cold. Self-titled is the one that sounds surprisingly fresh next to other 2013 albums. Ahead of its time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATRL Moderator Ampersand13 Posted June 15, 2022 ATRL Moderator Share Posted June 15, 2022 Self-titled just has some of the highest highs in their career: HA, I Hate You Don’t Leave Me, Nightingale, Two Pieces, Without the Love, and Shouldn’t Come Back whew an album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soobin Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Confident is a disjointed convoluted mess with no clear direction compared to gorgeous self-titled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact we have a lesbian hook up pop rock banger as the 2nd track only for a few tracks later to have a soulful Church song begging a heterosexual man to marry Demi.

Confident is genre-wise and thematically all over the place and its tracklisting was as arbitrary as it gets. What was Demi trying to do placing Stone Cold before Kingdom Come?

DWTDTAOSO is such a strong album and even the songs that didn't make it on there but from that universe are incredible. I think Demi highlighted the ones that are colorful and interesting production wise on the tracklist, and left off the more straightforward songs. I'm happy with Demi's decision making. The rest of the songs remind me of Still Have Me in that they're more basic and not as daring in sound. Some of my favorite unreleased tracks from that era: Emotional Top Shelf Forget You I'm Fine Hope Is A Scary Thing Eden Breathe Mistakes All I Wanna Know Written In The Sand Let's Hang Out In My Dreams (still did not surface but the way Demi describes it) Third Eye (Psychic, still did not surface) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was Demi trying to do placing Stone Cold before Kingdom Come? We have the same taste! Literally feels so disjointed sound and topic wise. DEMI and Unbroken are similar albums, like not conceptual or anything, but still able to achieve a sense of cohesion and stability, like Demi knows who they are in those songs. Confident was just an attempt at different things all at once, and it feels unfinished. It needed like 6 more months to fully realize the potential and concept of that album IMO.

Freakshowvato Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Does anyone else wish Demi worked with other producers than just Oak? Especially for a rock album? For example, John Fields, Jason Evigan, Justin Tranter. All these people have produced amazing songs for Demi in the past and I think would've been amazing on a rock project.

I wish Demi experimented with reputable rock/metal producers she hasn't worked with before, e.g. Steve Albini (Nirvana's In Utero & PJ Harvey's Rid of Me), Terry Date (BMTH's Sempiternal), Kevin Shirley (Iron Maiden's Senjutsu).

alp Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 they are rumored to be featured on the cover of a turkish magazine for the first time INTERESTING i also heard that it is pretty famous so i expect a BIG SLAY MOMENT (the magazine in question: https://omcdergi.com/ ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakshowvato Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Can this go viral on Tiktok? Such a summer banger I need more EDM collabs by Demi, especially since we have a rock era, we should get side projects that are EDM collabs to expose Demi onto radio and help sell the tour.
