album Sigrid - 'How To Let Go'

[sam.teas]

it's not that bad, but... it's a no for me

[smoore95GAGA]

This is… interesting. Not bad but not great either unfortunately. Sucker Punch>>>>

 

I definitely appreciate the more experimental songs tho ala It Gets Dark, Dancer, Mistake Like You and Grow

Meh, Mirror is still the best by far. And maybe I'll keep A Driver Saved My Night, it really goes downhill after it. 

[lover.]

This is… not what I was expecting. Not bad but just not really memorable, excluding the first 3 singles. 
 

Sucker Punch >>>

[computer.boy]

Inch resting reactions, I think it's a decent album but not bad necessarily, specially from the winner of BBC Music Sound who released her debut album with awful lines like:

 

”Both our hoodies red, you're in my head / The airline lost my luggage, Still got all this weight”.

 

I like the fact that it's 70's / 80's inspired, some Fleetwood Mac, Elton John, ABBA, etc vibes in here. But not exactly a rip-off? I actually enjoyed the ballads in this, compared to the ones included in the Raw - EP.

 

Again, it's definitely not AOTY for me but it’s cool to see that she matured in a way.

currently listening and Dancer, Mistake Like You and ADSMN are the standouts so far

 

mistake like you is excellent

[ultraviolence.xx]

anything like Never Mine? 

[Polgg48]

initially i wasnt sure but AMAZING ALBUM sis, the absolute vast improvement from debut and step into right direction, she is here to stay. 

 

fav: Mistake Like You, Dancer, Thank Me Later, It Gets Dark

[alfonso12]

At first listen, I like this more than how I liked Sucker Punch at first listen. That album was a grower for me so this one might be the same. 

 

I didn't like the ballads from her first but I'm enjoying the ones in this so that's a good sign. A Drived Saved My Night also sounded nice.

[Dualove39]

she made the right single choices imo 

 

a driver saved my night was a highlight

[Moonlightbae]

A Driver Saved My Night is a smash waiting to happen 

overall it was a very cute album, still too early to compare it to her debut. the single choices have been perfect for sure.

[Delirious]

a little underwhelming imo. her debut has very high highs but unfortunately this album had none

[enchanted0]

It's actually really a cute album. Kinda hard to compare it to the debut since both are very different.

As the other user said the inspiration is really apparent, imo she really did a great job

[Argent]

honestly i feel like it gets dark is her best song, never mine is the only one that can compete for me, so i really think this album is a great improvement over her debut. sucker punch was a good album, but this feels like a natural progression. genuinely the only song i don’t like is bad life…and i really don’t understand its inclusion on the album. like it’s on the physical editions right? feels like a last minute add-on attempting to boost streams a bit and i don’t think she needs it really.

 

anyway, my faves are: it gets dark, burning bridges, risk of getting hurt, and a driver saved my night. part of me feels like maybe it gets dark would have been a better closer than high note? i don’t know, need to sit with the album for a while. overall though i’m very happy to see her growth and see how she progresses going forward!

[cadililian]

Really enjoyed this album!

 

There's now a Spotify Green version if anyone's interested! (might be UK only though!)

Overall not as strong as her debut, but it’s a solid effort (and this is coming from a big fan of hers who has seen her live multiple times).

 

Outside of the singles, Thank Me Later and A Driver Saved My Night are great, the rest seem a little lacklustre and forgettable, but including the singles, it’s a good album. Maybe I set my expectations a bit too high.

As a big Sigrid fan I do love this, but it's not as instant as Sucker Punch. Still amazing though, I'd give it 8/10 maybe. 

[Tyrion_LMG]

It's a very solid pop record. I haven't disliked any of the songs and I think all of them are enjoyable enough not to be skipped. I prefer this over her debut.

[dreamofyou]

high note is really cute

 

also my 'orange vinyl' arrived and it's red, oh naur

[dreamofyou]

thank me later's chorus really reminds me of a song but i can't put my finger on it

Human by The Killers? 

[Nick_317]

Thank Me Later is a COLLAPSE

[Obsession]

Her debut did more new things but this is a lot more consistent, though a bit less distinct sonically. But I do think I like this more than Sucker Punch on first listen.
