Kiss It Better Posted March 29 Posted March 29 B8 LITERALLY the songs after THE LINDA MARTEL SHOW are so unexpected 1
ABeyBraith Posted March 29 Posted March 29 I am absolutely FLOORED. I can't even begin to describe how that just made me feel. She truly is one of one. I need to sit with the album for the next few days to really take it in but this is genuinely a masterpiece 2
Draper. Posted March 29 Posted March 29 Just a reminder that her las 4 studio albums are Everything Is Love, The Gift, Renaissance and Cowboy Carter. She went in completely different directions with each, NOBODY is doing it like her. 4
chaeyonce Posted March 29 Posted March 29 Just now, Kiss It Better said: B8 LITERALLY the songs after THE LINDA MARTEL SHOW are so unexpected Dare I say the best songs on the album?
Augmented Posted March 29 Posted March 29 Levii's Jeans oh I'm definitely bopping The provocative lyrics and production make it feel more contemporary but the delivery of the chorus feels so traditional I LOVE it!
Eóghan Posted March 29 Posted March 29 does anybody know why "blackbird" and "amen" finish the same way? it's so random
Babydoll. Posted March 29 Posted March 29 reading some of the reactions and realising im going to have to be a full time SPAGHETTI defender..... 3 1
chaeyonce Posted March 29 Posted March 29 Rolling Stone didn't even give Rennie 5 stars and Rennie is a more accessible album (I really disagree wth the people who claimed this one was)
skwonderfactory Posted March 29 Posted March 29 I'm waiting until midnight EST to stream while watching all of the lyric videos for a proper first listening experience but I can NOT wait!!!

Kiss It Better Posted March 29 Posted March 29 my track by track review: AMERIICAN REQUIEM — great opener, it's giving Janelle Monae BLACKBIIRD — the beatles cover, so beautiful 16 CARRIAGES — one of her best singles PROTECTOR — cute mid tempo acoustic country track, love Rumy voice on it MY ROSE — an interlude, sonically somewhat similar to Protector, too short SMOKE HOUR WILLIE NELSON — an interlude, she teased this on the album teaser, the radio theme is so real TEXAS HOLD EM — this was a grower for me, such a fun song and i usually hate this type of country music BODYGUARD — one of my faves, it sounds so fun OOOHHH WEEEEE OOOHHHH AAAAHHH DOLLY P — Dolly Parton's introduction to Bey's Jolene cover, loving the transitions JOLENE — she elevated this one like how Whitney elevated IWALY love this new lyrics DAUGHTER — i'm hearing hints of Fur Elise here, is it just me? SPAGHETTII — she gets nasty on this, the production is insane ALLIIGATOR TEARS — it sounds different, i like it SMOKE HOUR II — talking interlude again, not what i expected at all, i feel like i'm in the wild wild west JUST FOR FUN — not exactly the sound i was expecting, a slower ballad II MOST WANTED — the Miley collab, they did THAT!! soo good LEVIIS JEANS — Post Malone collab, my least fave on the album, he sounds different on this but cute FLAMENCO — sounds spanish to me, she should've started singing in spanish THE LINDA MARTELL SHOW — interlude again, sounds like a TV show now, fits very well to the next song YA YA — this is giving Bday, another fave of mine OH LOUISIANA — interlude again, the vocals sounds like that vocal intro from Drunk In Love lmfaoooo DESERT EAGLE — this is when the album is starting to turn into different sound but still fits very well with the rest of the album RIIVERDANCE — country but make it dance, if renaissance and cowboy carter had a baby, top 3 on the album II HANDS II HEAVEN — longest track on the album and best song on the album it's giving Honey from Renaissance TYRANT — this is crazy, hip hop country who's doing it like her SWEET HONEY BUCKIN — SHES INSANE!!! this is like 3 songs in one, top 2 on the album, the instrumental reminds me of a RWT interlude AMEN — going back to the sound of the first song, perfect closing track ranking based on first listens: II HANDS II HEAVEN > SWEET HONEY BUCKIIN > RIIVERDANCE > BODYGUARD > THE LINDA MARTELL SHOW/YA YA > TYRANT > DOLLY P/JOLENE > SPAGHETTII > II MOST WANTED > TEXAS HOLD EM > 16 CARRIAGES > JUST FOR FUN > ALLIIGATOR TEARS > DAUGHTER > BLACKBIIRD > DESERT EAGLE > MY ROSE > AMERIICAN REQUIEM > AMEN > PROTECTOR > FLAMENCO > LEVIIS JEANS > OH LOUISIANA > SMOKE HOUR > SMOKE HOUR II 1
FlyOnTheWall Posted March 29 Posted March 29 (edited) Done with my first listen and it's an amazing album. will have to give it some more spins but it might just be able to dethrone Self Titled as her magnum opus for me. The length isn't much of an issue to me being used to overlong slow paced albums with Miley's Dead Petz capping at 92 minutes. My favorite songs after first listen: Tyrant (best song on the album Alligator Tears II Most Wanted (MOTHERS ) Leviis Jeans Ya Ya Riiverdance Jolene II Hands II Heaven Texas Hold Em 16 Carriages Edited March 29 by FlyOnTheWall
Mean Trees Posted March 29 Posted March 29 Bodyguard on repeat Of course Texas and 16 Carriages are amazing. Disappointed I didn't like anything else and especially since it's 27 tracks long. And the Miley duet gave the same vibes as Florence and Gaga. I have to let it sit I think, I hope...
Mocha Posted March 29 Posted March 29 the first listen i thought was it was good, but now i'm on my second and eveything is hitting like a truck
Babydoll. Posted March 29 Posted March 29 i felt shy listening to desert eagle lmao she was horny in the booth damn 1
Augmented Posted March 29 Posted March 29 Not going to judge people at all but I'm not too sure how some people (critics included) are even able to fully review/rate the album already. I was already overwhelmed by about track 13 to what I was listening to There is A LOT to digest hear like let's take our time before we start ranking things please
