Rina Sawayama - 'Hold the Girl'


Recommended Posts

SAWAYAMA wasn't perfect either; first three tracks are over-compressed to death. But she has even said she loves compression.

You hate Forgiveness but it's literally a song recorded originally for SAWAYAMA. :toofunny3:

You (or someone) keep saying this but it's not true; it was written during lockdown lol

Listening

Still not a fan of pre-released singles

Forgiveness is pretty good but that bridge is WEIRD

Some of the comments :deadbanana4:

 

Some of you giving terrible scores to songs, because "nothing is as good as her debut", even though Your age, Imagining, and Frankenstein could easily be a part of SAWAYAMA.

 

"this is not even close to SAWAYAMA" yeah, because we already have SAWAYAMA, you can not expect the artist to keep making the same type of music all the time. I think that her debut kinda spoiled some of the fans, so right now everything that falls a bit shorter is dragged beyond limits. It's still an amazing album, even if it does not reach the excellence of SAWAYAMA.

 

If this was Gagas album you would be praising it and losing your minds.

Your Age finally grew on me despite me not liking it very much while listening to the lewk.

the Forgiveness-Holy-Your Age-Imagining-Frankenstein 1-2-3-4-5 punch is out of this world. i keep going back to Imagining, it's genius. this is why I listen to Rina :jonny5:

Yeah this album is bad. Literally Solar Power level of disappointnent

Frankenstein, Hurricanes and Phantom are the most coherent songs on here. Imagining was ruined by terrible mastering. Forgiveness is fine. The rest... :doc:

Your Age is brilliant, would love to hear it live. Also love Imagining and Holy (Til You Let Me Go). The rest of the album…let’s hope it grows on me.

You do realise Chromatica is probs one of the most hated albums here right? This album just isn't that great. It has nothing to do with the artist.

I've kinda been over Rina since all the Gaga comparisons on this album's lead single, how mediocre Catch Me in the Air was when I first heard it (and still is), and all the pressed ODHs she has as fans, but this is so many levels below RINA and SAWAYAMA - it's wild. There's a few good-to-decent tracks near the middle of the album, but that's it.

I do, that's why I said what I said. In my oppinion Chromatica is not a better album than HTG.

But most people around here would probably agree with that statement.

I subscribe every single word of this post. Those coming to give 0 and 1 to some tracks and stanning other basic pop stars. The audacity.

I lot of the lyrics feel a bit cheesy to me, but on first listen Frankenstein and Holy caught my attention. I think I would like Imagining and Your Age more if the mixing was better.

Not p4k panning this. I was expecting a score in the 7-7.5 range so I'm quite surprised. Even Solar Power managed to score higher :deadbanana:

Considering they gave 7.7 to SAWAYAMA (probably the lowest rating that album got), I totally expected this.

At this current moment, I think I like this a lot more than SAWAYAMA. The only song here that is lackluster is This Hell while SAWAYAMA had Comme Des Garcons, Love Me 4 Me (it's cute but there's something about it that doesn't 100% click for me), and Chosen Family. :coffee:

Holy - Your Age - Imagining - Frankenstein - Hurricanes back to back punch :jonny5:

it's a pretty mediocre album on first listen - the only songs that stand out for me so far are this hell, hold the girl, your age and imagining

Currently on Hurricanes and she served some BANGERZ on this record :jonny5:

 

AOTY I fear

Did someone order one of the signed bundles on her label's store? I bought the bundle with the CD, cassette and signed art card but it hasn't shipped yet :noparty:

Posted

it's okay, I guess. it has some cute moments, but probably won't listen to the whole thing again. This Hell is the worst, Forgiveness is bad as well.

Holy and the intro are the best takes :jamming:

Send My Love To John BROKE ME! :cries:

 

She already did that with Phantoms and now this? NO. :chick3:
