That said, I wonder how much she contributes to the melodies; not to discredit her, it's just that she calls out the lyrics specifically and separate from the songs themselves, as so the songs' credits. 33 minutes ago, M.R. said: This is the most useless release of the year.

selena_lavigne Posted September 15, 2022 Posted September 15, 2022 looking forward to midnight. currently finishing my very enjoyable re-listen to sawayama.
KasioKas Posted September 15, 2022 Posted September 15, 2022 mixed reviews here I'll find out for myself tmrrw
SpaceOddity Posted September 15, 2022 Posted September 15, 2022 The run from Catch Me In The Air to Frankenstein is absolute perfection, brilliant sophmore.
SpaceOddity Posted September 15, 2022 Posted September 15, 2022 Genuinely baffled by anyone who's not enjoying this. Bangers galore, it's perfectly crafted, the production hits, the lyrics are relatable, the 00s ode sprinkled throughout is fun.
SpaceOddity Posted September 15, 2022 Posted September 15, 2022 Is that a Xstatic Proccess sample on 'Send My Love To John'? The guitar melody is identical.
VeniceBeach Posted September 15, 2022 Posted September 15, 2022 The Holy - Your Age - Imagining - Frankenstein run > SAWAYAMA is miles better though
Troll Idle Posted September 15, 2022 Posted September 15, 2022 I like this album a lot more than Sawayama AOTY confirmed
Guest Posted September 15, 2022 Posted September 15, 2022 It's not Sawayama but it's cute, the singles were a horrible choice

flower moon Posted September 15, 2022 Posted September 15, 2022 MF - 7/10 - A decent opener HTG - 5/10 - Its fine TH - 7/10 - Self-aware of its cheese and it works imo. CMITA - 7/10 - Love the last half of it Forgiveness - 4/10 - It just goes on and on. production is bland Holy - 6/10 - Enjoyable. Nothing special. YA - 4/10 - It's giving Demi. A grower maybe. Imagining - 8/10 - noice Frankenstein - 4/10 - Idk... I liked it when it leaked but the production is kinda brown noise/lame Hurricanes - 2/10 - Horrendous SMLTJ - 1/10 - Spare me Phantom - 3/10 - Boring. TBA - 4/10 - -- I feel like if this was the first Rina album I'd heard I might like it more but knowing what she is capable of this just feels so plain.
SpaceOddity Posted September 15, 2022 Posted September 15, 2022 EXCELLENCE Frankenstein Your Age Hold The Girl Holy Til You Let Me Go JAMS Imagining Minor Feelings Forgiveness Catch Me In The Air EH, IF YOU LIKE IT, I LOVE IT FOR YOU Hurricanes Send My Love To John This Hell To Be Alive Phantom
Troll Idle Posted September 15, 2022 Posted September 15, 2022 Send My Love To John is pop folk perfection. Her mind & talent country Queen

Where are the bangers besides This Hell and tracks 6-9? The rest is ballads or midtempos at best
Tyrion_LMG Posted September 15, 2022 Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) Minor Feelings: 8 Hold the Girl: 9,5 This Hell: 7,5 Catch Me In the Air: 10 Forgiveness: 9,5 Holy (Til You Let Me Go): 9,5 Your Age: 9 Imagining: 9 Frankenstein: 8,5 Hurricanes: 10 Send My Love To John: 9 Phantom: 10 To Be Alive: 8 Probably my favourite pop release this year along with MUNA. Literally 0 skips. Loved it much more than SAWAYAMA. She’s incredibly talented in creating melodies and harmonies. Her vocals are holy and the production is rich and diverse. She did that.

Jagger Posted September 15, 2022 Posted September 15, 2022 Minor Feelings - 2/10 pointless Hold the Girl - 4/10 ugly but the last minute is nice This Hell - 8 a jam Catch Me in the Air - 3/10 one of the corniest songs I've ever heard I cringe every time Forgiveness - 1/10 it literally is the definition of bland and boring. also that Disney esque melody on the chorus makes me want to throw up Holy - 7/10 really nice chorus but the melody of the verses is clunky and juvenile. production is amazing Your Age - 10/10 one of the best songs she's ever released. the outro is insane Imagining - 9/10 really awesome song. this and Your Age are the direction this album should've been. It would've been a perfect upgrade of SAWAYAMA Frankenstein - 8/10 a banger and I love the outro Hurricanes - 7/10 I really like this one compared to the other snoozey midtempos. Chorus is nice and nostalgic Send My Love to John - 4/10 way too sappy. Not my thing Phantom - 5/10 boring, basically a better version of Forgiveness but that's not saying much. Guitar is nice To Be Alive - 2/10 horrendous and corny. What the **** are these lyrics? Is she in third grade? average - 5.4 definition of mid
