Julia Fox Posted January 10, 2023 Posted January 10, 2023 I didn’t knew they were releasing a new album that soon tbh. Gonna check it for sure but I didn’t liked their previous album sadly
TrueBlood Posted January 10, 2023 Posted January 10, 2023 It sounds like it's going to be a mess indeed. The singles are completely different from each other, So Typically Now is the only interesting one.
Sanguine Posted January 10, 2023 Posted January 10, 2023 Not feeling the singles that much, what happened to her IAPU and Half Free are two of my favorite albums from the 2010’s
shookspeare Posted January 10, 2023 Posted January 10, 2023 hopefully it's more along the lines of IAPU than Heavy Light
Ewan Chaos Posted January 10, 2023 Posted January 10, 2023 Still hate Heavy Light kinda, but So Typically Now is amazing so I have hopes for the album. Will just wait until Feb to listen to the rest of the record and skip the singles.
sam.teas Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 Tux (Your Body Fills Me, Boo) seems to be the next single, 6:26
ATRL Moderator madonnas Posted February 24, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted February 24, 2023 Not very good. She def branched out and tried new things but the lead single + Tux are the only keepers tbh.
Femalien Posted February 24, 2023 Posted February 24, 2023 I totally enjoyed this. I think her voice is so unique I could honestly listen to her sing the phonebook, and I'll always have a soft spot for her after my original infatuation with her when she was a crusty little oddity making unintelligible noise music. I think the music/production on this is gorgeous. It still shocks me to hear her voice being matched with such high-sheen beautiful music. Love all the disco influences on this record
K$Ellie Posted February 25, 2023 Posted February 25, 2023 not awful but not great either, a handful of cute songs but the fillers really drag it down
liquiddiamonds Posted February 25, 2023 Posted February 25, 2023 (edited) The disco tracks are really good and the production is nice overall. I just think she hasn’t been in her best songwriting game here. The melodies are lacking here. Even the songs in Heavy Light were better written, although she dressed them in more stripped down and pop-soul productions and alienated some fans. This feels more like a continuation of In a Poem production-wise, but without the focused and rewarding songwriting. So it’s all over the place. I’d take Heavy Light over it just because the melodies are quite delicious. I do miss the bite of the GEM/Half Free days though, but its harder to capture that after years and growing so much sonically regarding production Edited February 25, 2023 by liquiddiamonds
JoeAg Posted February 25, 2023 Posted February 25, 2023 I'll listen tonight, I LOVED Half Free and In a Poem Unlimited, both of them are chock full of indie classics Heavy Light wasn't it though, it felt extremely lacking to me for some reason. I like the two singles off this one so let's see if i like the rest...
uusagii Posted February 25, 2023 Posted February 25, 2023 This is such a let down like.........what happened
JoeAg Posted February 25, 2023 Posted February 25, 2023 now wait is that Merrill Garbus doing background vocals in the opening track??
ATRL Moderator Unoriginal Posted February 25, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted February 25, 2023 I like it but it's all over the place
SitarHero Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 It's not as bad as you're all saying. But my god, the album should have ended at track 9, cuz the following two.... IAPU was so effortlessly cool, I'm afraid since Half Light some of her choices feel decidedly dorky
Ewan Chaos Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 The last 4 songs should have been DELETED, whew I wasn't expecting them to tank my enjoyment of the album that much The first half is quite good, especially Tux. I know a lot of people seem to note the 3rd song as the beginning of the tanking, but it's giving Animal Crossing hour music realness that I love. The title track is where it starts to go downhill for me, sans Tux. Futures Bet is just okay too.
AMIT Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 Only Daedalus is certified BOP sadly besides that one, STN and a couple others the album is very weird IAPO was SO good, like really REALLY good it, I really don't know what happened after that
