ithinkheknowsoutsold Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Surrender My Heart - Pop perfection, give me my Emotions Side B anthem, love the heartfeltness of the lyrics (8.5/10) Joshua Tree - Love the grooviness, the Aphrodite lyric is so quirky, this is Beach House done right, the hook is so simple but so effective, too short though (7.5/10) Talking To Yourself - More pop perfection, classic Carly at her best, insanely catchy, love the theme and the questions she asks in the chorus, the honour this meeting bestowed upon me is unparalled in my universe (10/10) Far Away - Starting off like Western Wind 2.0, love the sweetness of the 'oh oh oh's in the chorus, a bit mellow and subdued compared to the rest of the songs, the vocalisation in the bridge caught me off-guard (6/10) Sideways - Love the lyrics of this one, the self-assuredness of the song is so refreshing, a bit too soft for my liking (6/10) Beach House - Kinda digging the intro now, this song has grown me a lot since I first heard it, adore the quirkiness and the humour, I wish it was just a tad bit longer (7.5/10) Bends - Love the tenderness of this one, the 'do do do's remind me of Kylie's In My Arms, a little too slow for me to truly love it, it might grow on me in the future (6/10) Western Wind - This has grown on me since my first listen, almost sounds relaxing now, the chorus still goes nowhere though (6.5/10) So Nice - Okay this is a good one, I thought it would be a filler, but I like the productions, chorus reminds me of the bridge of Store (8/10) Bad Thing Twice - This is starting off good, like the chorus, the album is picking up for me again (8/10) Shooting Star - Definitely Kylie-esque, I love this one too, so groovy, love the slight disco influences, the 'I believe, there's a true connection' part reminds so much of Kiss, thank god the song actually has a proper ending (9/10) Go Find Yourself or Whatever - Very different sound for Carly, love the earthiness of this, very relatable lyrics (7/10) The Loneliest Time - Love the idea of closing the standard editions with a disco-influenced power ballad rather than the mellower GFYOW, dig the post-chorus of this song, love the bridge, already iconic (7.5/10) Anxious - Starting off great, wow the chorus is excellent, glad it doesn't end immediately, such a good song, the chorus is just brilliant, love the outro too (9/10) No Thinking Over The Weekend - Love the intro to this, oddly enough this gives me Harley's In Hawaii vibes, love the moodiness of the song, glad it doesn't have an explosive chorus and instead remains constantly relaxing, sounds like something that would play in a beachside location in a video game (9/10) Keep Away - Cozy, synthy ending to the album, the synths in the chorus remind me of Real Love, cute but not as memorable as the past few tracks (6.5/10) Overall - This is the kind of album I expected Carly to make after Dedicated, mellow with a few bops thrown in to placate the long time fans. I guess mellowness isn't always a bad mood for a Carly song to represent, but a lot of the album feels quiet and a little too subdued because of that. Overall I enjoy it, but it's not my favourite Carly album. I do think it has the potential to grow on me immensely, since that's what slow songs are good at. 7.6/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATRL Moderator Ampersand13 Posted October 22, 2022 ATRL Moderator Share Posted October 22, 2022 Okay, so I've been a little pre-occupied with another release this week, but just popping in to say that Carly delivered an immaculate pop album. Though I don't love every single song, I don't think there is one that I flat out dislike either. So Nice, Bends, Bad Thing Twice, Sideways, TLT WHEW bop after bop I fear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reginald Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 (edited) This is such a good album, I've listened five times already. CRJ never disappoints. It's a damned shame that Carly isn't getting the moment in the spotlight she deserves, because of a similar/larger artist choosing to release the same day. It's giving Witness 2.0, and I hate that for Carly. Hopefully she does a side-b release for this album as well, and can collect more attention over time.

Guy12345 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 I don't know how well the album is going to hold up a couple of months from now, but I have to say this is such a phenomenal pop record and the easiest listen. pop at its most comforting form. tracks like Bends, Go Find Yourself, Surrender My Heart and The Loneliest Time are just pure beauty, they almost feel spiritual.
