ATRL Moderator khalyan Posted August 28, 2022 ATRL Moderator Posted August 28, 2022 None of the tracks outside the title track could make it on SAWAYAMA, not sure why some of y’all are lying to yourself and trying to gas them up
Price of Fame Posted August 29, 2022 Posted August 29, 2022 I didn't even realize she had another single out and I wish I still didn't because it's bad too
campelo Posted August 29, 2022 Posted August 29, 2022 This is 2/4 for me! I just wish she would drop this Y2K sound, it's tiring at this point
bestfiction Posted August 29, 2022 Posted August 29, 2022 Damn. He's really not feeling these new songs

And don’t get me wrong, SAWAYAMA is a really good album (not great) and HTG is 4/4 for me; but I hate people acting like she changed or something. no, they really couldn't have. Sawayama was peak - anything on that album is light years ahead of what she's put out. Hold The Girl is honestly the only decent one, and even that took a minute to click.

For me songs like Paradisin’, Love Me 4 Me or Chosen Family are exactly the same kind of 2000s and Disney pastiche people are complaining about right now.

CuLtUrAl ReSeT Can't you just love an album without thinking this? Also the HTG songs are indeed nothing like SAWAYAMA. IDK where you got this information Edited August 29, 2022 by ahauntingnearu

What I said, if you care to read beyond your biased view, is that Sawayama is miles ahead of anything she's put out from *this* album. Sawayama took a minute to click for me too, but it's a great album in the sense she could put out anything from that album now and it would still sound fresh.
ItsPalmer Posted September 1, 2022 Posted September 1, 2022 L&Q gave an 90 for the album: "a genre-busting masterpiece from someone uniquely in sync with popular culture".

Iridesence Posted September 2, 2022 Posted September 2, 2022 If there are any Australians/New Zealanders in here, I just got an advertisement on Instagram saying that the tour was coming down here and she hasn't forgotten about us.

Miracle Posted September 2, 2022 Posted September 2, 2022 Very excited about To Be Alive and Holy! Also Hurricanes studio could be great
ItsPalmer Posted September 2, 2022 Posted September 2, 2022 Another review is out: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/rina-sawayama-hold-the-girl-review-a-star-with-a-sense-of-humour-slxhxs7l5
ahauntingnearu Posted September 2, 2022 Posted September 2, 2022 MF mostly vocals with some nice bass. Forgiveness def the most country song she's been talking about ... Cute but won't really be a fan favorite Holy huge, huge sounding - dark / not happy lyrically Your Age banjo hard rock bop, STFU!-lite. Great lyrics and she really goes IN Imagining literally sounds like there's a feature in the verses, the vocal production is so wack Hurricanes way better than the live version, easily one of my favorites Frankenstein a huge, weird ass bop but I LIVE - huge 4 on the floor SML guitar and gorgeous vocals, think CF the live version she plays on tour (IK this will probs scare people, kii) To Be Alive is truly the worst of the worst, lyrically speaking - Katy Perry-level bad.

Absolutely, some articles got deleted but all of them acclaimed the album. TFF gave an 80: "On her second full-length record, Rina Sawayama speaks to her inner child through genre-spanning, festival-ready bops."
