Recommended Posts

some of the vocal choices or the way her voice sounds here remind me of her unreleased work, especially in Peace & Quiet i STANNN

Yes and a 60 from NME :skull:

 

Counts towards MC (change compared to High Road):

  • The Independent: 100 (+20)
  • Rolling Stone: 80 (=)
  • Pitchfork: 71 (+12)
  • Clash: 70 (-10)
  • Slant: 70 (=)
  • NME: 60 (=)
  • musicOMH: 60 (-20)

Some totally undeserved scores, but we've already surpassed Rainbow's peak score (91) and haven't hit Rainbow's lowest score (50) yet.

Why do you care so much about online blog reviews? Why not just enjoy the music. I don’t get it.

Because critical acclaim is what talented artists and the majority of their fans are looking for.

 

It's not that deep and I don't know why you are always acting so bothered about everything.

I don’t think that’s what Kesha is aiming for this era, I think she just wants to get her truth out. I think Rainbow was more about acclaim. It just comes off as you needing some validation from critics, I think we should just enjoy the music. Not bothered.

love how she isn't really using that shaky vibrato thing to end her phrases anymore thank you sense!

Almost everyone here is enjoying the music, I don't know why you're creating a strawman by coming for people who want this album to get the recognition it deserves which is a totally normal thing for fans to have and it's not mutually exclusive with enjoying the music. Very weird.

Shocked by the more mixed (though still incredibly positive!) critical response when pretty much everyone I've seen listen to it has marked it as her best. :rip:

I appreciate High Road for her reclaiming the fun but THIS is the real follow up to Rainbow

I really like Fine Line, Only Love, All I Need Is You, The Drama, Peace & Quiet, and Happy :heart2:

 

Overall a strong album. Does the All I Need Is You chorus melody remind anybody else of White Mercedes by Charli?

Wtf this is bait right

No sorry.  I know the lyrics might touch people but the song sounded like a p!nk funhouse song.  Completely out of place!

It depends on what your definition is, but it is a pop album with catchy hooks.

OLCSUN + Peace & Quiet are the two "bops" on this album.

 

The Drama & Something To Believe In are also rather upbeat, the rest are slower songs.

You have to give Kesha respect for coming back with something different that’s not expected of her. I love when artist take risk unfortunately this album just isn’t for me. 
 

Totally understand why others love it but this direction is boring. I have never been this bored to tears with a Kesha record. 
 

This is the most disappointing release this year (so far) from all the main pop girls that release so far. I’m still in shock her label let her release this.

The amount of commentary I've seen that's like "I respect it... I get it... I understand it... BUT" 

 

Like LISTEN to the content and engage with it. Let it sit with you. This isn't immediate. 

 

*insert Nicki "You're not gonna get the song the first time you hear it. After the second and third time, you're gonna be like, 'Whoa, what is this?'. It sounds nothing... nothing like anything that's out right now..." video*
