Haze Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 (edited) I've gone through it once, and I'm floored. It feels like a paradigm shifting album from an uncompromising artist. It's his Homogenic. I've adored all of Red's projects before this, but they all felt indebted to other works and artists (as is the case for 99% of music, and is not a bad thing), but this feels completely singular. Something only he, with his story and sense of melody, could create. He should be so proud. The lyrics are also brilliant throughout, so terribly sad at times, but full of desire and life.

campelo Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 Well, no words. I can't process everything that I heard right now
Pink Matter Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 I'm pretty excited to listen to this. All of the singles were good! Gonna have to take extra time to listen to all of 3 sides in full.
Archetype Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 This is like a magnum opus within a magnum opus within a magnum opus. AOTY by far
omrimayo Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 Yeah... it's something else, it feels like a mega WHOLE piece. Wow.
305 Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 Wow these comments are making me really intrigued, I'll have to listen
M.R. Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 This is simply brilliant. So happy for him and this release.
Tillz Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 Yeah I think this might be his best body of work, but I'm gonna need more time with it because it's so damn long.
Kern Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 I think it’s growing on me. Also I think I clicked something on Tidal accidentally and the album just disappeared? Like once the queue will end Im not sure if I will be able to go back to this album So I try to cherish listening while it lasts
Chemist Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 Lick the light out is the best song Madonna has been a part of in decades 1
Chemist Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 So i saw him live at Primavera Sound and he was so good. Maybe too good for a festival (in a festival you just eant to listen the greatest hits) but his perfoming skills are truly out of this world. He deserves to be really big
Archetype Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 We have to be friends Also the PRODUCTION wowwowowow
Pendulum Posted June 10, 2023 Posted June 10, 2023 I'm on the first part so far and it's alright? I don't know what y'all are raving about but I have high expectations for the remainder and I'm ready do be floored, hopefully
B-Luke Posted June 10, 2023 Posted June 10, 2023 This album is like a weird blend between Bedtime Stories, ye (the album) and a little Björk. Really well executed and ambitious albeit pretty bloated. 070 Shake‘s sound is also very prominent, mainly on CD 2.
ATRL Moderator Unoriginal Posted June 10, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted June 10, 2023 tbh this is super overwhelming. i respect it majorly because it's evident he didn't compromise on his vision at all, but that does by design make it a lot.
big-eyes-lies Posted June 10, 2023 Posted June 10, 2023 (edited) let me touch you once reminds me of portishead/pj harvey... it's a great experience Edited June 10, 2023 by big-eyes-lies
Pendulum Posted June 10, 2023 Posted June 10, 2023 uhh yeah, La Vita Nuova remains his best project, I'm sorry
Pendulum Posted June 10, 2023 Posted June 10, 2023 the spoken-word Madonna interludes are an auditory jumpscare 1

It took me two days to listen in full, but it was worth it. 6 hours ago, B-Luke said: This album is like a weird blend between Bedtime Stories, ye (the album) and a little Björk.

Kanye is definitely an influence, but it’s worth noting that Kanye was very inspired by Rick Rubin, who produced this album. Classic rock and 90’a grunge-pop are also huge influences. I can hear Björk is some songs as well as Portishead, MJ, Madonna, Zero 7 (with Sia), Moby, etc. It’s a lot to digest at once.
Lil Mxnster Posted June 10, 2023 Posted June 10, 2023 Oh, guys. I think he did... He did AOTY! This is how immaterial and no-binary contemporary music sounds like: soft electro-R&B, 90s rockish/grunge and classic/orchestral beats. It almost sounds like a spiritual madness masterpiece, depending on the album side He risked and he won, that's it Score: 7,2
ATRL Moderator madonnas Posted June 10, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted June 10, 2023 Disc 3 > disc 1 > disc 2 1
Delirious Posted June 11, 2023 Posted June 11, 2023 This album surpassed all my expectations. It's super atmospheric, lush, melodic & warm. I haven't felt this way for an album since like Nicole dollanganger's album in early 2023.
ariesgroove Posted June 12, 2023 Posted June 12, 2023 the production on this record is insane, it’s definitely a heavy listen but i will return to this again in the future!
