Def the best on the album (also bc it sounds fresh compared to some other 3 year old songs on this album...) 1
Wonderland Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 I get it’ll be critically dragged a bit but I’m still stanning it has some decent bops on it. I wish it had more personality though.
Twilish Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 Minute in HQ is all i needed this needs a single push ASAP.
Alex Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 (edited) Great King of Hearts Revelations Castle in the Sky uhoh Good Minute Claws Meh Hit it from the Back (shortened version) Sex Talk Alone brrr Scrap this BAIT Feed the Beast Thousand Pieces Coconuts Unholy My review: Spoiler 'Feed The Beast', Kim Petras' definition of her debut album, is a scattered array of tracks compiled together to attempt to convince us of who Petras is an artist. Unfortunately for her, the end results aren't convincing enough. This project, which houses the undercooked "brrr" and "Alone" featuring Nicki Minaj, sounds like that of a compromise between her record label and the music that once used to define Kim. Feed the Beast was preceded by multiple vast efforts to get Kim Petras a hit of her own following the overwhelming success of "Unholy" with Sam Smith, which appears here as a bonus track in a last ditch effort to attach streams to this album. This same strategy (if you can call it that) can also be spotted with "Coconuts" which was meant for leaked-and-scrapped album Problématique, which in comparison to this is a way more concise and consistent offering. One of my biggest gripes about this playlist-esque album is how short some of these songs are, which limits their potential for a climax. A prime example of this occurrence being "Castle in the Sky", which could've been so much more with a bridge. Certain production changes that I wasn't the biggest fan of include the Hit It From the Back skip to verse 2 and the new drums in Claws, both of which are side-eye worthy at the very least. The rollout of this album also had me taken aback, as it seems the weakest efforts were presented first from the album. It's almost as if Kim and her team intentionally wanted to alienate her fanbase in search of a smash hit. Now it's not to say that this album doesn't have it's moments that remind you why we're tuned into this project in the first place. Cuts like "King of Hearts", "Revelations" and "Castle in the Sky" are reminders that Kim Petras still has a sense of what good pop music is. Perhaps a tighter collection of songs that don't span from multiple projects would've given us a better idea of what Kim Petras wanted us to hear, but that wasn't what we got here. Highlights: Castle In The Sky, King of Hearts, Minute, Revelations Lowlights: Thousand Pieces, Bait, Alone, Brrr, Unholy 5.6/10 Good luck to Kim with this album release, I hope she can find a way to get a hit out of this which she absolutely needs.

Wonderland Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 Castle In The Sky is amazing. She needs to do more over europop beats
magazine Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 Not me missing HIFTB also being on the tracklist She wasn't lying
Lady Claire Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 The album in FLAC whew I don’t care for critics and sales, this will be my AOTY for sure
smartalek22 Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 King of Hearts is the new focus and will be getting playlisting next. I was hoping for Minute but still a bop
brooklyndaddy Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 There are some bops but not much personality... I actually do think this is way better than Problematique though. Here's a better tracklist which would me it a 6/10 instead of the 5/10 it is: Castle In The Sky Alone (DallasK Remix) King Of Hearts UhOh Revelations HIFB All She Wants Feed The Beast Claws Minute Future Starts Now

GardenPanty Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 after hearing the album in HQ here are my opinions: - my biggest gripe is her vocals. outside of the dr luke songs, she sounds atrocious. just compare Alone to Thousand Pieces or Castle In The Sky and you’ll see what i mean - a bunch of these songs were not needed. Unholy, Sex Talk, Thousand Pieces and Coconuts weigh the album down. BAIT is also crap but it lines up with the album theme so i guess it works This album was clearly just made to please Republic. At least she got to put something out. Unfortunately I don’t see her getting another hit, Alone was the biggest chance but they fumbled that HARD. The 2.0 version should’ve been the original from the start. Republic needs to stop making her something she’s not, stop trying to make her some global pop icon and just accept she’s niche for the gays
BlueBlue Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 (edited) Best: King of hearts Good Alone Hit it from the back Coconuts Sex talk Claws Minute Castle in the sky Mid Feed the beast uhoh Thousand pieces brrr Revelations Bad Bait Delete Unholy This is very great album 8/10. The only thing this album lacks is concept that's why problematique is better for me Edited June 25, 2023 by BlueBlue
Schami66 Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 It's a perfect pop album filled with bangers. And yes; overall it's better than Problematique. We love her but Problematique wishes she had King Of Hearts, Claws, Castle In The Sky, Uhoh and Minute. It is what it is. *I deleted Coconuts, Sex Talk and Revelations. Because they belong to Problematique in my opinion. I replaced Alone with Alone 2.0 and deleted Unholy too. And I included If Jesus Was A Rockstar.

Lady Claire Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 NME gave the album a 80. The article was removed (it’ll probably be out at midnight) but y’all can find it searching on google

blackstar Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 Era 1 = Clarity > TOTL > Feed The Beast > Problematique > **** Pop Don't get me wrong, FTB is not a bad album at all, but it definitely lacks personality and cohesion. I hope she'll get dropped by the label after this era just so she can gain back artistic control over her work. Instead of signing with Republic she should've sign with more indie label where she can express herself artistically. I feel like her next project is going to be THE one
rodamik Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 Alright, this album SCREAMS for a tracklist rearrange. First and foremost, the album cover. (we lost so badly with the og...) 1. Feed The Beast 2. Castle In The Sky 3. King Of Hearts 4. Minute 5. If Jesus Was A Rockstar (EW...I know...but weirdly it fits) 6. Alone (with Nicki Minaj) (the extended version ofc) 7. Thousand Pieces 8. uhoh 9. brrr 10. Claws 11. BAIT (feat. Banks) Bonus Track: 12. Unholy (with Sam Smith) (unneeded but I kinda like how it sound after BAIT) Please, lets let Problématique rest in its peace and glory (aka scrap all of those old ass track from FTB)
