album Olivia Rodrigo - 'GUTS'

[trainsskyscrapers]

As someone who thinks "Deja Vu" shifted something on my "best songs of all time"  list, what should I check out first? 

[Luckitty]

perfect score from rolling stone and nme

AAB kind of a horrible song. Get Him Back is good except for the verses

1. get him back!
2. all-american b*tch
3. vampire
4. ballad of a homeschooled girl
5. bad idea right?
6. love is embarrassing
7. teenage dream
8. pretty isn't pretty
9.the grudge
10. making the bed

Thank you!

Just want to ask anyone comparing this slightly to the “Avril sound” to expand your knowledge of female rock of the last 30 years. Olivia’s sonic references here in those loud moments are far deeper and closer to riot grrrl/Hole/Garbage vibes, plus a number of other alt-pop/rock acts from far before Avril’s career was a thing.
 

Annnyway, what I love about her is that she is making what would now be considered more “traditional” albums without primary concern for single creation and more attention to bringing a full and cohesive story together. I’m obsessed with this already! She’s giving me such beautiful 90s energy.

[smholiv]

every song is incredible byeeee, this really is like a massive leap forward from SOUR which was already one of my favourite albums of 2021

 

she's upgraded basically everything, its brimming with personality, super cool vocal delivery (and lots of interesting range!), and the production and influences are so well crafted. the only "dud" to me is logical, but I suppose it'd grow

 

need those bonus songs NOW

[NoOneDiesFromLove]

The Grudge sounds just like Drivers License? For a Taylor diss track I was expecting something better

[Haschwalth]

get him back isn't the bop that i expected it to be all american b*tch >>>

and she was only 18-19 to begin with  It takes a lot of ANGST and NERVE and TALENT to actually make an album that sounds exactly almost identical to an era when she wasn't even born  

[AmandaHP]

So much  better than Sour I really like it! 

[BuzzCharts]

Listening now...... MAKING THE BED IS THAT SONG

[Marianah Adkins]

I prefer Sour tbh but I can see the vision in this album. Vampire, AAB and lacy ate

[TalkThatRihanna]

Get Him Back doesn’t sound like a hit to me. BIR is very similar to it (and the better version).

 

Although not my favorite, Making The Bed should’ve been the Fall single

[Baby Judas]

Zane Lowe interview..

DV was my fave from Sour and Lacy is my fave from Guts. I think it’s my fave for the same reason too, which is that they’re both the most unique songs on their respective albums.

[NoOneDiesFromLove]

1. vampire

2. lacy

3. get him back

4. ballad of a homeschooled girl

5. love is embarrassing

 

the rest

THOSE RATS 

[Raspy]

already finished it 3 times

still cant believe bad idea right? is the best song on the album

[Into The Void]

I felt really old listening to this for some weird reason

[RenHonjo]

I just hate how most people just want to fuel the taylor drama instead of actually enjoying the music

[Starkboy]

Lacy first whole listen made the song much better  

 

She sounds so good too

[GAGAISTHEBESTYA]

Love the album! I really wasn't expecting her to top SOUR but she did.  The ballads are the weaker songs on the album, but still good...no skips for me.
