ofc you'd think that How Long and Delirium stan  you should be embarrassed sis! also change your signature to higher than heaven, she needs those streams more than BareBack 

Not at bareback sis...whyyy WHYYYYY 😭😭😭😭

[LCTV]

Have the lower tracks passed 10k streams yet?  We need to give her her 0.000000000000000000001 cents!

I was thinking how it still feels kind of odd for someone like Ellie to even jokingly call a new album her "least personal yet" and while I enjoy the record lots and I know it doesn't try to be something it's not, it does feel like a contract-fulfilling collection of songs and nothing more. So I went to dig some stuff and as a fun fact, these are the dates when each of the songs were originally recorded, more or less  Most of them barely changed since that time as well

Oh this is VERY interesting. The best songs are all pandemic era and it’s not even close. I would think they had some other songs from that session, so wondering why they chose to pull some older ones in instead

it has a trap beat for the breakdown, and also a live band kinda section giving a rock-y vibe, and then some weird electronic production as well so a monstrous mixing of genres... and then clean bandit has a demo where they upped the electronic vibe with synths and other keys and a ******* disgusting pitched down man voice howling something like "you're a ******* dead man" or w/e... 

this description alone sounds like a mess  

[Haze]

I was thinking about how How Long sounded like something meant for EG0, and the date of the recording sort of points that way.

 

Just for you gives me Lights more than Delirium. It's one of my faves. Tastes Like You has been on constant repeat here, and her vocals on Better Man are divine.

Her best song being the one made the most recent. 
 

I enjoy all the 2021 and 2022 songs much more than the others.

I have to be Brave & Come Clean and say that I really like How Long

[TheGreatMrY]

Her worthless store hasn't shipped my vinyl yet so i ordered another copy from my local store. The Power this album has.

Now i get why she said it because half of the songs already made half a decade ago and she can't relate to it anymore 

 

HTH is honestly much better transition album from Lights + Halcyon to more mainstream pop sounds than Delirium and BB imo

wait... there's something about it. I guess I found the 2018 songs the weakest on the project? Like, c'mon, Love Goes On, Waiting For It, How Long, Intuition and Better Man?! I would put literally all of them in the "worse" half of the album. While Just For You and Easy Lover aged so much better while being even older? Interesting. 

I think "How Long" is from the same session as "Hate me"...

Please do you know what the hell happened with those songs she did with Max & his team last year?

[Dear Reader]

Tastes Like You is one of her best songs ever 

[Losing my ground]

I love how every artist is always "this is my best album and most personal to date" in each single new release, and Ellie is just "oh this is my least personal" lol

[Yog]

Midnight Dreams is immaculate

 

[Temporal]

The playlisting on Better Man is just... abysmal

 

 

[Yog]

The way I just purchased this album after streaming “Midnight Dreams”

The way this album has no skips… It deserves so much more

[est. in 90s]

Love Goes On has me gagged a bit on first listen
