ZeroPoint Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 My first listen thots: 1. I figured Anime Eyes was going to be my least favorite as soon as I saw the track list and I was right 2. I wish Heart of the Woods was a lot longer 3. I figured Cardinal was going to be my number one from the album and I was right 4. I’m surprised so many people are comparing this to Golden Hour sonically, I feel like this is Star Crossed 2.0 but with less dark lyrics 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troll Idle Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Why is everyone so obsessd to compare the album to GH and SC? I think DW stands out as it's own. It's very earthy and grounded, Cardinal is probably one of her darkest and most spiritual songs to date. The album feels like it's set in the deep and mysterious woods, but it's not scary, everything is well connected to nature and its beauty and to the inner self. It feels nothing like GH or SC to me. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tylerbv Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I’m trying to hold out to listen Are Deeper Well and Too Good to be True top, mid, or low tier on the album? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Hour Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Went to a listening event yesterday and I have been dying to hear this album again since. I like every Kacey release but this is really something special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irvine Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 this is very calming it doesn’t really sound anything like GH or SC like some in here said…it’s kind of standing on it‘s own it definitely sounds much less ‚produced‘ and feels more grounded love her voice and i‘m happy about new material i think the songs in the second half of the album are a bit more interesting overall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxelFox Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I got to listen to this as well. I agree that it stands on its own and is quite different from past records. I loved a lot of it, especially the love songs. Cardinal is amazing and such a great opener! The sequence of Too Good To Be True - Move Out - Giver/Taker is superb. And it would've continued on to Dinner With Friends (another favorite for me), if not for Sway. I really don't like what they did with it; it was my most anticipated track based on the snippet she posted in her stories a while ago but the final version is too fast paced and the instrumentation doesn't work. Hoping for an acoustic version of this one down the line. I had high expectations for Jade Green based on the comments but I found it rather clunky to be honest. Some of the others I need to give more listens to, but this is definitely a very good album. I feel like the tracklisting on the second half could've been better but we'll see how I feel about it after a couple days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troll Idle Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) The zine in her shop comes with a CD, is it the regular album with a case and a cover, or just a CD sticked to the back of the zine? I want the zine and the regular CD but I'm unsure if I need to order both. Pls help Edited March 14 by Troll Idle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not wanting it to be like SC but it's always received hate so I'm just not affected by the comments I've read. I'd prefer it to be closer to GH if anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimberly Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I'm not going to listen to the album until it comes out on streaming here in the US. but I just checked out "Cardinal" -- I'm excited to hear the rest! this will be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin. Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 It literally has an 81 on MC, and the girls are calling it polarizing? I'm doing my first listen-through. I'm on Giver/Taker right now, and I'm enjoying it so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
