Gwegend Posted August 9, 2023 Posted August 9, 2023 The way that ATBWY is a bop and one of the album’s best songs but the flops keep trying to drag it… 1

theflying Posted August 9, 2023 Posted August 9, 2023 Something this album unequivocally does better than The Loneliest Time is it doesn’t feel like songs were short-changed to fit the “streaming age”. I know people rag on Pitchfork, but they were completely right to complain about it on The Loneliest Time. Joshua Tree ends SO quickly after being SO compelling. Sideways is THAT BOP and just…ends. Beach House is a sketch of a song. Those songs are a big part of the first half of that album, and the momentum totally feels cut off and for NO REASON. I absolutely hated that. It genuinely impacted my enjoyment of the album. That is not a problem on The Loveliest Time. I would’ve given Stadium Love one more chorus, but other than that, no notes.

Temporal Posted August 9, 2023 Posted August 9, 2023 Was worried I wouldn’t find myself coming back to this very much, but it’s really been growing on me Seeing her last night sealed the deal I think! 1

ATRL Moderator madonnas Posted August 12, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted August 12, 2023 Saw her live tonight and it was anothef slay performance. But she kinda skipped all my faves… no put it to rest, aero planes, no drug like me, julien, everything he needs, weekend love… or kiss songs aside from CMM but I expected that. we DID get Bends though which was a highlight gonna try to see if I can get a ticket for Sunday to get some more songs.
