PerfectSacrifice Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 Jaded, Violet Chemistry, River are the top3 for me.Overall this is a pretty solid album, come on Miley beat that racist and get the #1!!
RockStarShit101 Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 I'm halfway and it's already an underwhelming experience
B-Luke Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 First listen is pretty underwhelming. Nothing instant for me but a pleasent record nonetheless. Rivers, Violet Chemistry, Island is my trinity right now. Island is very UB40, I like it. Could be a nice single for summer. Rivers sticks out (positively) but still a rather odd single choice.
WildAmerican Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 if i strongly dislike Flowers should I even try it? Really liked Plastic Hearts... i kinda stan Brandi Carlile so lemme check out that one
WildAmerican Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 omg Brandi got Snow on the Beach'd, yup not even listening to the rest that song was so generic omg
RockStarShit101 Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 Sia is barely on that song... why is that?

There are different sounds

CREATIVEREBELLION Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 ITS SO GOOD Bangerz & PH still beats it, but I love it. my ranking after first listen: Handstand VC River Island Muddy Feet Wildcard RCL You Jaded Flowers Wonder Woman Thousand Miles

EtherealCat Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 i love island, the rest not so much theres potential it just doesnt go anywhere and her vocals are kind of grating in places, why does she insist on that sort of gritty rock voice it just doesnt fit most of the songs and what was the point of the features?
Ale Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 She's incapable of making a good, cohesive album, isn't she? Oh well, there's always a next time. River and Flowers being singles and the most upbeat songs on the album will make a wrong impression since it's pretty boring.
campelo Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 What a mess of a tracklist it feels so boring overall. plastic hearts had more personality

HeavyMetalAura Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 Okay when I first listened I ranked it as her fourth best album but this might just take the cake as her very best. Idk man.. Island, Jaded, Rose Colored Lenses, and Thousand Miles are just so vibey and chill, River is THAT glittery robotic 2010 electropop bop, Violet Chemistry and Handstand slapping way too hard... even Wildcard and Wonder Woman grew on me. Maybe some of her other albums have higher highs (Bangerz, Dead Petz, Plastic Hearts) but this one is just so focused and confident. Only ones I really don't love are Flowers (but she gets a pass for making Miley successful again), Muddy Feet (I love the Sia part though), and You (the live version is one of my favorite Miley songs ever and I'm just disappointed she ruined it). But damn, what an album. She's really been in peak form the past few years and I'm glad she's finally - no pun intended - getting her long overdue flowers.
smoore95GAGA Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) To whoever said RCL gave them Dignity vibes, I actually get that from River. The sound effects in the second verse particularly give vibes of both Dignity (the title track) and With Love. Edited March 10, 2023 by smoore95GAGA
tbhmatt Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 Jaded is excellent as well. Jaded & Violet Chemistry really stand up on their own. I haven’t felt the need to return to any of the others just yet. Idk, maybe the rest of the album will grow on me. I think River and Island both have potential but they’re just kinda… lacking.

Anyone know It sounds like Don’t You Forget About Me from The Breakfast Club to me and it makes me love it a little more than I already do

sunbathinganimal Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 it's nothing special but it's a pleasant listen and definitely better than I thought it would be
Blue Monday Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) Gotta say I’m pretty underwhelmed after my first listen. I don’t mind that there aren’t a lot of big songs like Flowers, but it feels underwritten in a lot of places. The songs just don’t really feel like they go anywhere Edited March 10, 2023 by Blue Monday
