I love that! Especially since NGNDA is track 6 of 13 and wasn't there a rumor the other day that the album starts AND ends with a ballad? Maybe NGNDA is the end of a two or three songs "dance break" before she's giving us all the feels again? 1 hour ago, EnterTheAttic said: That's a great idea! That last line has been a punchline to a joke since the song was released. It sounds as if she says 'Efharisto', which in Greek it means Thank You. Me and my boyfriend pretend like she is thanking us for listening to her song I love that! Let me tell that story to my Greek coworker real quick. 7 minutes ago, Grenn-O said: Good to be back for new album excitement Willkommen zurück! Good to have you back here! And with the appropriate emoji too. We love a great entrance.

I know she loves to have this messed up albums, with songs all over the place, but I wish that for once she would kinda tell a story with the album, you know? Like having it cohesive, from the beginning till the end, not some Beam Me Up/Walk Of Shame kind of mess.

Oof that was rough, that was rough But I totally agree with you - and that's why she's never really been an 'album' artist for me, but rather a 'throw a bunch of everything to appease everyone' one.

I think she's an album artist in the sense that her greatest songs are all hidden gems in the albums, and the singles 90% of the time don't have the quality she has on album tracks. I was hoping the flop of H2BH would teach her a lesson, but it seems like nothing changed at all.

I guess but that's most (many, at least) artists. Her albums - no shade - are pure chaos* and clearly a mix of many different things to appease as many people as possible, vs. her having one vision / theme / idea for the album era. And that's not necessarily bad I guess, but it does make me view her differently than other artists who don't do that. * Maybe with the exception of BT, probably her most cohesive album, thematically (IDK what do you think haha)?

pinktennisfreak Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 She has always been like that. That's who she is, because that's how she perceives life. And it's reflected into her work. I like that about her. True Love Beautiful Trauma Leave me Alone, I'm Lonely etc... Life is beautiful, bot so ******* traumatic.

Can you give us more info on the songs? You said before that it's like stripped down instrumentally but with overly produced vocals. Is it comparable to, for example, Ocean Eyes by Billie Eilish? A lot of vocal layers that very much make the melodies and everything, but the actual instrumental is held back. I take it from your comment that this album is yet again a collection of songs rather than a cohesive body of work.

Not quite, Ocean Eyes is lovely The way I described it before is still how I feel about it: like a fan took the acappella off of a heavily produced electronic track and put it over an acoustic guitar or piano. Some of the songs just don't sound right, way too much processing and perfecting for an otherwise raw vibe instrumentally.

Can it be that the songs still needed to be worked on or do you think that was her artistic choice to have it sound sort of disembodied from the surrouding instrumental and not incorporated right?

I honestly have no idea, but probs not 'artistic choice' (no shade to her tho nnn). And honestly, people might disagree or try dragging me when it's out - it might just be a me thing

Surprisingly, I think her most cohesive album is Can't Take Me Home, followed by Try This. I'm Not Dead (my fave btw) also has too many distinct subjects, but she somehow managed to not make it absurd.

Also, are there only 3 collabs in it?

Everyone's got their own taste in things. I am just super curious and hope I am not too annoying with these questions :D Buuuuuuut....... is there anything new on the album? Or maybe old producers that are back? *cough*lindaperry*cough*

Most tracks have that heavy beat that goes throughout most of the album and most of the subject matters/themes she sings about are of the same nature.

There are a few more upbeat - NGNDA is definitely the most and stands out quite a bit IMO - but for the rest, even if they're not traumatically sad, they're still not 'bops'; this is not a 'bops' album. 14 minutes ago, Grenn-O said: Haha, yeah, don't worry!

I'm definitely not an insider and don't want to put myself out there as one Linda Perry returning? A dream, a literal dream - but only that

A dream, a literal dream - but only that I knooow we can still dream, and hope, and pray... But from the features, I have sort of a feeling that this (or a couple songs) might sound like the roady indie alternative songs from like 10 to 15 years ago. Anyway, I am excited! Where would you rank it amongst her other albums?

Paddy Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 I wish she updated her EU store, some of the items from her UK store can't be shipped to Ireland.. c'mon! Also I wish they said what's in that super deluxe boxset.
