perpetual novice Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 I'm not really a fan so far of her return to cheap sounding "dark pop". Flux may not have done the numbers but it was such a rich and accomplished album, some of the songs on there are shining examples of what modern punk music can be. We'll see what the album holds in store tho 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It kinda sounds like a Poppy.Computer song gone dark (and like a poppier My Microphone). Definitely a bop and it's also a complete contrast from Flicker which was a synthy mid-tempo.

Flicker has (had) a music video ready for its release too, but plans changed and I really don’t know if it will come later on the album release date making it a focus single or just with other “visual” videos for each track. No idea currently about the existence of a video for Motorbike. Visually speaking, she is making a lot of vinyl variants and I preordered some of them ‘cause they’re very good!

Thanks, I'm very excited for this new single and the entire album. So far it's been 2/2 for me, too bad Spit is not there (I know it's a cover) as I love it so much.

We'll see what the album holds in store tho Glad someone agrees with me on Flux, seems like much of her ATRL fanbase hates it. Definitely her most timeless record. I'm OK with this being more pop-oriented, in part because I think she's making the transition very smoothly. I wasn't crazy about her EP earlier this year but it's obvious it was to gloss over the change in genre. I think I Disagree and Flux were both born from a place of frustration and her moving on from that seems healthy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I can definitely see Flux and I Disagree coming from unhealthier parts in her life, but I think the heavier sounds suit her, I still love rock and metal when it’s executed with some levity to it, like she did with Say Cheese. Bring me the horizon also do this very well, KINGSLAYER is a fun campy metal bop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 To me her releases (Minus instrumentals, xmas and covers) have been like this: Bubblebath EP = cute but uneventful. Poppy.computer = cute but uneventful. Am I A Girl? = half of it meh, the other half pretty good. Choke EP = Beginning of her experimental sound, love it. I Disagree = ******* amazing. ID (Deluxe) = Good. EAT EP = Really cool and fun. Flux = Great timeless sound, love the big 90s grunge throwback. Stagger EP = Pretty meh except for the title track which is one of her best rock ballads ever, maybe her best rock ballad.

JohnWayneHolland Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Not it actually sounding straight out of AIAG I'll wait to hear it in HQ to deliver my opinion but it sounds like a bop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam.teas Posted August 21 Author Share Posted August 21 nnn I don't wanna say things, but I see again a change in the dates. Now I see that Motorbike will be released in the first half of September, giving up the place to another single lemme stay quiet and let's wait for her official announcement.

I think it's actually better this way, there's still 2 months til the album comes out, another song in September and the final song one week before the album would be great.
