MaxMartin Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 Quick Review: Standouts: -INHTMF: Single worthy, very catchy. My only complaint is that the chorus could go harder & develop. -Perfect: Very cute track , I love the melodies , although the production in the chorus is a letdown. I blame Stargate. -No God: Another very cute track. Love the message on this one. -Lose You: ******* SMASHA In between: -Six Shots: I mean , it's nice and there's good hooks but I don't see myself returning to this one. Flops: -How to cry: So boring and forgettable... I can't believe ILYA came up with such a meh track. -Who we love: Amazing message for such a non event of a song.
Europe Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 I thought six shots was going to be a bop but it's an underwhelming not catchy midtempo instead. The intro is greatly going to sabotage I'm not here to make friends on streaming unless they make a single edit without it. Anyway this is not single material the chorus is not explosive enough and what is up with that outro? Sam just goes "lalalalala" over and over again and it's way too long and then the song just fades out without a big final chorus. Flop. The Ed Sheeran collab is surprisingly very good . Perfect is good too, 2 lovely ballads. The obvious and by far best song on the album is Lose You, a cute uptempo BOP, this is what the real second single should be once Unholy is done smashing.
charmed23 Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 Geesuz, this song came on my Spotify New Music Friday and I had to turn down the volume then hit next. It was a mess of noise with zero melody. Then realized it was Gloria the song :(

Motivation93 Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 Y’all are critiquing too hard lol. This album is good. I like that they’re doing more r&b tinged sexy tracks that one with Jessie reyez is great

James_XL Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 This is better than his last standard album. I need Lose You to become a single though I get why he chose the safe INHTMF for album release.
Yog Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 The transitions between the songs are just perfect. Now I know what Sam meant when they said you have to listen to the whole album at once and not only the songs independently

In fact this new album has lower lows & both have the same issues of being all over the place not consistent.

Cqmerqn Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 Album is good! Hopefully it grows a bit more. Love Goes beats this I’d say, but this new album is so chill! Excited to hear the HMV-exclusive tracks when I pick up my vinyl. Shook at the RuPaul sample on I’m Not Here To Make Friends! Huge bop.

Glad you loved, you made it very CLEAR how you despised love goes, glad to see liked this one better.
