Perfect Crime Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 This album is absolutely gorgeous so far but most of these songs did not need to be 7 minutes long It kills the replay value I fear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe they're a respected publication the way the keep giving AMAZING projects low scores. They just want to be edgy and that's about it. And the Peppa album getting a 6.5 says everything you need to know about them. Devil's advocate: I think Peppa getting 6.5 is fine, I think all genres have a limit but if an album achieves what it sets out to do I think high scores are warranted and the Peppa album did that. I also think this album mostly did and deserved at least 7.5 but Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewan Chaos Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Clearly no one had a strong enough opinion on the album hence the average score and then the person with the closest score to the average probably had the least to say, hence the kinda shitty review OT: Great album. Honestly, I'm glad I didn't listen to the singles beforehand since I think American Teenager and Strangers (the latter especially whew) were my favorites.

I definitely see the Lana influence as well but holding it against her is nasty. Lana is one of the most impactful artists of the last decade and Born To Die helped in reshaping the landscape of pop music so how is that exactly a bad thing Overall it was just so lazily, poorly and unprofessionally written to the point where they couldn't even bother with the album's concept or talk about it.

Perfect Crime Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Despite some of the songs dragging on a bit (on first listen) I think she is SUPER talented and I really enjoyed it overall. The last leg of the album hit HARDD I'll definitely be revisiting & keeping my eye on miss Cain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

State of Grace. Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 I know this sounds very gatekeep-y of me (esp when I discovered her only around March lol) but I really really hope the poppers sniffing drive hacking homos stay away from ha. I don't want her to become another Charli. She's not interested in "making it", being famous or getting hits. She even said recently that she just wants to drop an album and disappear like Enya in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think this album mostly did and deserved at least 7.5 but I somewhat agree as well, let me retract my Peppa jab. However, to put it into further perspective, P4k has given Nicki's albums 65, 67, 75 and 76 (in chronological order). So, according to P4k all of Nicki's albums are of higher standard than this one. This is coming from a Nicki stan, who at least knows her albums in full are not great bodies of work. Preacher's Daughter is MILES above any of them, in terms of lyrical content, sonical content, themes, concepts etc etc. I could go on and on about every single aspect and this album would still be far ahead. From my heart to P4k, DEATH to all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeachRat Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 this album is soooo good. i love the story behind it and her not giving a single **** and releasing 7 minute immaculate songs. Ptolemaea & Gibson Girl giving southern-trans-horror-lana del rey. we decided to stan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway ******* incredible album. Her storytelling and the journey of each song is so vidid. Especially Throroughfare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely picked up on Lana and Florence vibes during repeat listens of this -- I do think some of her vocal inflections and that kind of forlorn, meandering delivery/lyrics have lana vibes but tbh she really carved out her own niche with this one album which is quite a feat.
