BMURDA617 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Ok, seriously one of the best bands we have. Another phenomenal record. They deserve to be HUGE. The production, the lyricism, the melodies. All *chefs kiss*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Achilles. Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Imagine having a massive undeniable gay bop like What I Want up your sleeve and not releasing it as a pre-release single in time for pride. The self-sabotage. It should have been released instead of Home By Now and Kind of Girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twilish Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 I still think Saves the world is their best album as a whole since nothing has topped Pink Light and N1Fan for me but WIW comes close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pavi Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Okay so after a few listens this is how I would rate the songs now Silk Chiffon: 10 --> Can't believe I didn't like this on first listen, cause it's stil SO GOOD What I Want: 11 --> BOP BOP BOP. They're saving pop music by releasing this 4+ minute banger Runner's High: 9.5 --> ******* hell, the production hits so hard every single time. Does feel a bit flat towards the end tho, maybe it needed a better outro the last time that beat dropped Home By Now: 10 --> Classic MUNA. Everything that has a fast-paced beat like that is an instant favourite of mine, so this one is too Kind Of Girl: 9 --> Katie's voice sounds so good on this and I love the songwriting Handle Me: 8 --> Cute, love the dragged out vocal in the chorus No Idea: 9 --> The post-chorus really saves the chorus here tbh. This SCREAMS for an extended outro or an extra chorus. It's giving Memento cut-off vibes at the end Solid: 7.5 --> Cute, but kinda repetitive too. Might grow on me more. Love how Katie sings 'Yeah, she is of material substance' before the chorus Anything But Me: 7 --> I know everybody loves this, but for me this is clearly the weakest song on the album. It's definitely cute, but a bit generic in the wrong way imo. Can still bop tho Loose Garment: 8 --> The strings are gorgeous and love how Katie changed it up a bit with the vocals here. Might grow on me even more! Shooting Star: 9 --> They're so good at building up tracks towards a good explosion and this is no exception.

The7thStranger Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 This is how I feel after my first listen: Anything But Me - This might be their best song ever. Silk Chiffon - Loved it when it first dropped. Love it now. Home By Now - This is why we listen to MUNA. What I Want - A bop. A bit over hyped, but good. Kind of Girl - This one had to grow on me, but now I love it. Loose Garment - ****. Me. Up. No Idea - Fun with some 90s flourishes. Handle Me - Waiting for a Robyn remix. Shooting Star - I think this one will grow on me. Solid - Eeeeehhhhhh... Runner's High - This one didn't click for me.

greento Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Handle Me on second listen I really liked this album on first listen but a lot of the new songs will need repeated listens to grow. I tend to find that with their songs though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhMyAlf Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Thought I'd check this out after only just finding out about them for their 'Sometimes' cover and I am BLOWN AWAY. This entire record is such a vibe I love it so much. Had it on repeat most the morning and just decided to get tickets for their London show later this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
