Velvet Night Posted October 27, 2023 Posted October 27, 2023 My opinion after first listen: The tracks that were produced by the original producers sounds as good as/close to the original, some of them even better (e.g. OOTW, I like the improvements they've done). The others which weren't produced by the original producers are kinda hit and miss. Sometimes hits and misses are in one track, but I'll get used to it eventually. I especially hate that she has done New Romantics dirty, it was my favourite 1989 song The vault songs are good tho. "****!" isn’t at all what I expected, but it’s good. It sounds so dreamy. Say Don't Go is a supreme song, can’t get enough of it. Now That We Don't Talk, I absolutely adore the chorus. The ‘I call my mum’ part is so cute. Suburban Legends sounds like Mastermind, it’s not my favourite. Is It Over Now? sounds like OOTW sister. It’s a certified banger, my second fave off the vault tracks.
kellebrity98 Posted October 27, 2023 Posted October 27, 2023 My Vault Track Ranking 1. Is It Over Now? 2. Say Don’t Go 3. Now That We Don’t Talk 4. Suburban Legends 5. Slvt!
Komet Posted October 27, 2023 Posted October 27, 2023 I'm sorry but Style does not sound finished, mixed nor mastered, did they ship the wrong version 1
Theluckyone Posted October 27, 2023 Posted October 27, 2023 Say don’t go and is it over now are good enough go to make even the standard of 1989. They are that good wow.
Frozen99 Posted October 27, 2023 Posted October 27, 2023 2 minutes ago, Mr. Duff said: I Know Places has the same issue as Style, the first verse and chorus were mid and flat but after the “We Run!” part I felt her anger and the song elevated. I can live with this. And it’s so much better with great headphones because you can really hear the production, it’s great actually. just what i was saying, it sounds muted but then she screams "we run" and you can finally hear the passion / aggression.. i don't think it was like that in the OG but i can also live with this.
Theluckyone Posted October 27, 2023 Posted October 27, 2023 Ready for “are you ready Mr styles” in 9 minutes ??
Catch22 Posted October 27, 2023 Posted October 27, 2023 not apparently vault sounding like Midnights now when you were all saying Midnights sounds like rejects from her pop albums what's the truth? 1 1

Arrows Posted October 27, 2023 Posted October 27, 2023 Say Don’t Go is the radio smash of the album this time. It reminds me of an Enya pop hit, very 80’s indeed. 1

Finny Posted October 27, 2023 Posted October 27, 2023 I don’t think anything was botched as much as Enchanted TV was, but most of these aren’t as good as the originals. That’s fine with me though because each TV has been like that for me so far. I’ve gotten used to keeping the originals. My favorite moments on the original album (Style’s guitar intro, “and you love the game!”, AYHTDWS adlibs, etc) have all been very underwhelming on the TV. “****!” And Say Don’t Go are excellent!!!! The other 3 are good but they haven’t fully clicked yet.
Life Savers Posted October 27, 2023 Posted October 27, 2023 Her assistant was running late with the Starbies the day they recorded I Know Places... whew.
réveuse Posted October 27, 2023 Posted October 27, 2023 Shake It Off was an experience, but let's move on. I Wish You Would????? BOP!
kyoshi Posted October 27, 2023 Posted October 27, 2023 still a classic, still fresh, still crisp and we finally have the visuals from the 1989 tour 3
DuffLavigne Posted October 27, 2023 Posted October 27, 2023 You people are insane, everything sounds incredible. Just use good headphones! 3 1
Theluckyone Posted October 27, 2023 Posted October 27, 2023 Ryan tedder nailed WTNY and IKP! Thank goodness. I think Chris Rowe did a good job overall, especially with blank space and SIO; arguably the two most important to get absolutely right. Style though… ugh. That’s my favourite song from her ever in history. I need more listens with it.
