Fantano hating the middle of the album and liking the singles and the last couple of tracks :skull: A reverse this thread experience

He does make points about the compression tho.

Holy being his least favorite is literally criminal...

The mastering has been bad on some tracks since Sawayama, I agree it's especially horrible on Hurricanes though.

hurricanes is truly a bottom of the barrel track :deadbanana4: could've easily been cut as it has nothing to offer.

Your Age sounds like something that could’ve been on Halsey’s last album. I love it. 

I was ready to disagree, but now I kinda see your point. maybe the vocal delivery from Rina is a bit slow here, but Halsey could've actually done that, yeah!

my thoughts

 

i like all pre released songs so ill focus on album tracks

 

minor feelings - grower 

forgiveness - is cute

holy - i like this one

your age - this was a grower and now a bop

imagining - i haven't paid attention to this yet lol

Frankenstein - MY SONG

send my love to john - cute but on lower end

to be alive - another i havent listened to much

 

definitely not as good as Sawayama but its been growing

Genuinely curious as to how an artist as small as Rina is competing for the #1 spot? It must take like 1000 total sales to achieve that now?

I just heard Flavour Of The Month and why is it another Tokyo Takeover situation where it's Japan exclusive. I need it in streaming. :biblio:

This Hell... it insists upon itself

She's already sold +10k in a few days in the UK only so maybe she's not as small as you think

Imagine getting banned from posting for 2 days while someone makes up a lie about you and people start judging you for that lie :skull: 

 

So I’m gonna clear this lie up, then I’m dropping this entirely and will only respond if someone has a question about anything I’ve said. Snide remarks and/or flamebait will be ignored and/or reported.

Just a quick note here, I’m going to be talking about multiple people whose genders I’m not sure of, so if I misgender you please let me know and I will fix it. I’ll just be going with he/him for everyone for now.

 

I didn’t dm @Jagger. I’m unsure as to why he claimed I did. Perhaps he thought he saw a dm from me, or perhaps he saw @Tyrion_LMGtalking about how I dm’d him and thought he could make me look even worse. Either way, it didn’t happen.

 

I did dm Tyrion, and while he claimed I harassed him, literally all I said was that I wouldn’t be responding to anything he was saying to me in this thread. He had been quoting me multiple times with obvious flamebait posts, and I was simply letting him know that I wouldn’t be taking the bait. I’ll let you guys decide if that sounds like harassment.

 

Obviously I can’t prove that I didn’t dm Jagger, but I ask you this: why would I randomly admit to dm’ing one person but not the other, if I did dm both of them? Why wouldn’t I either lie about both, or tell the truth about both? 

Tyrion, first of all I want to apologize for my comments about your mental health. I crossed a line there, and while I do still intend on completely ignoring your entire existence, I did feel compelled to apologize for that, because I know how that can negatively affect a person.

 

Jagger, like I said, I’m not sure why you made up that I dm’d you, but I’d appreciate if you didn’t make up lies about me (hot take I know). 
 

To both Jagger and Tyrion, both of you have been attacking several users in this thread for simply having opinions that you disagree with. Tyrion attacked me for liking a Sabrina album all because I said that I was a bit disappointed with this album. That’s pathetic, and I’ve already called it out. I’ve also seen Jagger posting more times than I can count about how he hates this album and I’m pretty sure I’ve seen him attack others for liking it, and that’s just as bad as what Tyrion did to me. Both of you seriously need to grow up and learn how to cope with people having opinions that differ from yours.

 

I do apologize for this long post that has nothing to do with this album. I was debating making it because I know it’s off-topic, but seeing as false claims were being made about me, I did feel that I needed to address and debunk them. I’m hoping that now that this has been addressed, we can move on and talk about this great album that has grown on me tremendously over the past week :party:

Kiii this thread:bibliahh: 

 

OT: Fantano was never giving this a good score. Wonder if she'll be upset because she loves him

Fantano's review is so validating, I don't understand the obsession with Holy and Imagining at ALL :rip:

Imagining still the best song :party:

This album is still growing on me, but I can confirm Imagining is the best song :jonnycat:

10k probably is enough and the vinyl variants are doing the heavy lifting since most are uk-exclusive, pretty smart move.

Not Fantano's least favorite being Holy :toofunny3: bye

Seriously, stop it. You crossed the line and you got banned. Basically because I reported the three consecutive DMs you sent to me calling me mentally unhinged and acting creepy. I don’t want to keep going off-topic and I don’t want to talk to you anymore. You are in my ignored list and forever you will be.

 

Wish you the best tho.

Wish you the best as well. I genuinely regret my part in it getting to the point that it did, and I hope over time we can possibly forget about this and be ok with each other. I do still stand by most of what I said, but I always try my best to not have hate in my heart for people.

 

OT: For me the ideal singles would’ve been:

 

1. HTG (even tho it’s not one of my faves, it makes the most sense to me as the lead)

2. Frankenstein

3. Holy

4. Imagining

5. This Hell (yes!)
