brooklyndaddy Posted March 9, 2023 Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) Jaded - I really like this. One her best songs in years for me. The production is really good. I just wish her vocal production the chorus was a little cleaner because it’s giving Adult Contemporary when it should give multi-layered smash RCL - Very cute. The production is nice. A mid tempo bop. I can see this one being a TikTok hit. It feels like it should be later in the album. Love how she’s experimenting with her sound. The song grows very organically. A little forgettable though. Thousand Miles - I like elements of this and the overall energy. But again, the vocal production feels demo-like. I think the problem is there’s zero reverb making it sound a little claustrophobic and flat mix-wise. The chorus snare feels… off too. A shame because there are cool elements to this song. Love the folktronica vibe, kind of giving American Life Headstand - might be my favorite song EVER from her. This is what the whole album should like. 10/10 song. The synths are so ****** cool and twisted. She’s got me so on board now. River - THIS CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD. This is GREAT. I love how it sounds like a bit of the last, present and FUTURE. She’s having so much fun and the production is top notch. I’m glad she continued the electro vibe of Headstand right into this. Those SYNTHS Violet Chemistry - EXCELLENT like this one is great and so unique. Reminds me of early 2000s indietronica. The outro alone is incredible. Muddy Feet - I don’t like this one at all. Goes nowhere, repetitive and she doesn’t sound good. Could have been scrapped. Wildcard - I like this one! Maybe not as standout as some of the earlier tracks but it’s really good. Island - I really like elements of this. The production is breezy and electronic but not in the boring tropical house way. Chorus is meh. Also why are the verses LITERALLY Devils Don’t Fly by Natalia Kills Wonder Woman - I mean it’s a fine ballad but totally out of place. Like… why… I fear this album is too unique and textured for some of you Ava Max’d and Selena’d H&M dressing room f words. Miley went in with no intention to follow trends (besides on Floppers) but she really sunk her teeth in on this project Overall, I really liked this project. She’s coming into her own finally and not afraid to experiment. Not buying the corny AM and PM thing, I’m sorry. Girl, you banished some flops to the end because they won’t get streams, not that deep wish she would have explored the sound of the first have some more.

thatsmydemi Posted March 9, 2023 Posted March 9, 2023 Depending on reviews, this could be her Sweetener (negative reception from stan world but loved by critics). We'll see tomorrow.

Better Mistakes Posted March 9, 2023 Posted March 9, 2023 I'm loving this. It's her strongest effort imo and she's really spent time crafting this. This will be her Midnights imo

wish Posted March 9, 2023 Posted March 9, 2023 I hate to dwell on it but... Taste Of My Own really does sound like it's from this era and it could have easily fit on here. Robbed
wish Posted March 9, 2023 Posted March 9, 2023 Like the softer rock sound, guitars & the little synths and touches of 80s with the cowbells... it sounds like an ESV production so I'm shocked/confused that we found out it's from 2020

wsurferwayne Posted March 9, 2023 Posted March 9, 2023 Violet chemistry really reminded me of say it right!!!!
ChrisTheLoner Posted March 9, 2023 Posted March 9, 2023 @#Beautiful There's only 1 actual picture in the booklet and the rest is lyrics and the credits Still ATE regardless ot: She did THAT on River, such a BOP
JohnWayneHolland Posted March 9, 2023 Posted March 9, 2023 Muddy Feet is unlistenable, who would've thought that Sia would be the best part of it Handstand's production is amazing but it kinda gives me interlude vibes. Jaded sounds better in HQ, i like it, it's a chill bop. I like the vibe of Rose Colored Lenses, another chill bop. Thousand Miles is fine, i don't know if i would ever listen to it again tho, i liked the production, it was interesting. You is a cute ballad but my life would continue to be the same if i don't listen to it ever again. I didn't find Wildcard interesting tbh I kinda get La Isla Bonita vibes from Island, another chill bop. Wonder Woman gives me vibes of that "in the arms of an angel" song, kinda boring, kinda forgettable. Violet Chemistry is definitely the best song on the album. If i had to describe the album in 3 words they would be "cute but forgettable"

smoore95GAGA Posted March 9, 2023 Posted March 9, 2023 Did a second listen and wait it actually grew on me It’s definitely an album you just have to sit back and vibe to, which I wasn’t doing the first time so that’s probably why I didn’t enjoy it as much that time. Only tracks I still don’t care for are You and Wildcard. Hell even Muddy Feet works in the album.
