I've been listening to it in the order based off Wiki/the crossword, but the download I have has a completely different track order. Would love some clarity if anyone actually knows haha. 1. Anything to Be With You 2. Kamikaze 3. After Last Night 4. Aeroplanes 5. Shy Boy 6. Kollage 7. Shadow 8. Psychedelic Switch 9.. So Right 10. Come Over 11. Put It to Rest 12. Stadium Love 13. Weekend Love I don't think this tracklist flows well, so when I'm more familiar with the album I'll try to give it a revamp Edited July 21, 2023 by touch
memo90061 Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 I think I’ve enjoyed all songs except Aeroplanes, Shy Boy and Shadow. My favorites are Kamikaze and Kollage.
campelo Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 This album is such a different offering from her, I'm shooketh

By their titles, The Loveliest Time sounds like a cheerful, more upbeat record whilst The Loneliest Time embraces reflection. I think by both sound and lyrical content, songs from both projects could be well separated and we could create 2 albums with different vibes. I'd love to hear some tracklists ideas for that from everyone Side note, to me The Loveliest Time is a much more bold, fresh and even experimental record for her. It's almost as if The Loneliest Time was a b-side album to this. I wonder if she is somehow still unsure with stepping outside of her comfort zone in main projects or what Before listening to The Loveliest Time I would've said that I'd like to see Carly experiment with more EPs, she could've done like 5 (cohesive) projects from TLnT material alone but this album is far and beyond what I was ever expecting. So many different influences and sounds and yet somehow it's her most cohesive project since Emotion Side B, and it works; I understand she had a vision for The Loneliest Time being a mix of different flavours but I think she executed that same idea here to perfection. This isn't exactly what you're asking for but I still very much like the idea of her doing an entire Rostam & Patrik Berger (and Bullion)-type album. I'm also totally in favour of her doing another The Loveliest Time where it's a bit all over the place but so effective. I feel like if Carly goes back to a "one sound" approach for her work that it has the risk of sounding too one dimensional lol. But this is what I came up with anyway: Spoiler - Kollage - Western Wind - Weekend Love - Far Away - Bends - Shadow - Aeroplanes - Go Find Yourself or Whatever - Put It To Rest - No Thinking Over the Weekend Ideally I'd also like to include Waterlines based on the snippet but I'm not sure where I'd place it lmao Edited July 21, 2023 by Kenji 1
Guy12345 Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 The way Put It to Rest is exactly the vibe I needed from her.

And I don't think it's one dimension at all, especially if she is attempting to put something like Beach House in between to break the streak All these songs might sound like they come from the same headspace, but they serve well enough of variety and flavor. I also don't fully agree that TLvT is that cohesive, but the problem isn't really within the songs themselves, but the tracklist order. Need to sit with the album for bit more time to rearrange it though. So I personally think her discography would only benefit with entire album made with 1/2 producers, ideally as talent and suitable as Rostam and Patrik (maybe add Ariel). They seem to push her to evolve more than the others.
djcalpal Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 omg Kamikaze is insane. It's giving Robyn Body Talk in its production.
Riverbank Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 Not to be dramatic but Kollage is like the best song I've ever heard 3
campelo Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 After Last Night has this drum and bass influence that I am just
mystery Posted July 21, 2023 Author Posted July 21, 2023 Come over come over and don't keep me waiting...
Uncatena Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 this is the second time after Dedicated Side B where the companion album is much better than the original record. Emotion Side B was on the level of Emotion, but DSB and this are just miles ahead of their original counterparts.
kharijthedog Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 Kamikaze is just tew good I hope the album gets Dolby Atmos on the 28th because I know some songs are gonna go awf on my surround sound setup

Uncatena Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 is it a controversial opinion to think this is her best album since Emotion? (if I classify Emotion Side B as an EP)

Kern Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 Anything To Be With You is great, it just doesn't work as an opener imo

They seem to push her to evolve more than the others. Has she worked on anything with Ariel recently? I heard he reworked Eternal Summer (correct me if I'm wrong on that) but I think the last time she released one of his songs was Emotion I'd be curious to know what sorta sounds they'd make together now I know what you mean though, Patrik was so influential in her writing and pushing her towards Dedicated instead of disco and opening her up to best experimental songs. I would really like just one album with a limited number of producers, I know she's not the type of artist who wants to deliver a "body of work" but she could truly release something of an opus (like a 'folklore' moment for her) if she keeps leaning into indie and alternative styles like she has between both TLT albums

Kern Posted July 21, 2023 Posted July 21, 2023 The production on songs like After Last Night and Aeroplanes (and the rest too tho ) is so cool. This is excatly what happens when you make music with love and no pressure and with intention to actually have fun 1
