Idk if someone else wants to get the mods attention, but there’s 2 people here that keep posting daily, fighting with anyone that disagrees with them and attempting to force them to agree with them, and it’s clearly bothering everyone else that just wants to talk about the album. Can we please threadban both of them?

I love to see your upgrade

@ mods can't we just threadban the lot of them? It's ridiculous at this point. 

 

OT: Trying to listen to HTG while doing work, but Rina's too distracting

 

Literally all I’ve done was post my opinion once that the album is a bit disappointing for me (and tbh it’s actually grown on me a bit). I’m not over here picking fights with anyone I disagree with like Jagger and Tyrion. Not sure how a threadban would be warranted for me.

Oop nvm, miss Tyrion is still mentally unhinged 

The obsession you have 

[LastGreatBloodline]

tracks 6 - 9 + SMLTJ are amazing but everything else is so generic and sounds like a soundtrack to a coming of age disney movie. At least she gave us some gems

You should stop harassing me via DM, honey

Wait Minor Feelings is that girl

This Hell HIT me like a truck today. Best song on the album, perhaps?

The synths in the chorus are heavenly  i love the very subtle “ohhhh” that are added to the synths in the 2nd chorus (i think it’s the same melody as the Holy demo video that was posted few pages ago)

Can't believe she removed the belting from the final version - makes no sense. Holy demo was serving I Drove All Night - a serve, but the final instrumentation is substantially stronger. All-in-all, GREAT song . . but the empty spaces in the chorus pain me

So a version with belting in the choruses actually exists?  I had thought the belting was only a one-off rehearsal she did in the insta video.  
 

A pity the “ohhh” in the second chorus aren’t louder - would have definitely elevated the second chorus and made it different from the first too. Oh well still a bop though

Great album

Yeah, she talked about in some interview (or maybe the Apple Music things) that she went through several versions of this song. The final instrumentation REALLY compensates for the 'loss'; it's excellent 

[Supervillain]

Holy demo is ass, she took the final version to another level

This Hell and Forgiveness were... not needed

 

To Be Alive is SUBLIME. It's not Rina's fault some of you have never experienced happiness

 

Also, I can't believe she released 5 (!) pre-release songs and none of them were Holy or Imagining

Oh I have but I would be able to express it much more elegantly than "flowers still look pretty when they're dying" and other cliches

I’m not talking about your opinion girl. I agree with your opinion. What I disagree with is the way you’re going about expressing your opinion. You’re posting about it constantly, and arguing with anyone who dares to disagree with you, which is literally the same thing you agreed with me that it was bad for that other user to do. You’re literally acting in ways that you recognize as bad for others to do. I’m stunned as to how you don’t see the problem with that 

The way you switched like an f and are now trying to snitch on me or something  the virtue signaling is too much! Also stop harassing me via DM it's kinda creepy I'm not going to answer 

 

the outro to Your Age is THE BEST MOMENT ON THE ALBUM

When was it posted? I scoured back and couldn't find it unless something wasn't loading

She’s doing exactly the same to me. Just report her, hopefully she gets banned and learns how not to harass people in a damn forum.
