Thanks for first review ;)

 

If End Of An Era reminds you Count Contessa Im really looking forward to it, sounds like a proper summer heavy dance one

 

The lenght of Anything For Love is pissing me off, seriously, 2:22 song on 11 track album

 

 

There are also some spoken words throught the song.

Okay guys, so I heard the album twice and here is a quick review, as promised:

 

End Of An Era - Amazing opener, the production kinda reminds me of Count Contessa/Along The Coast by Azealia Banks, but with a groove. She starts the song with counting (1, 2, 3). It really captures the summer vibe. 8/10

Houdini - Nothing to talk about here, definite first single, I found it weak at first and now I like it more than Don't Start Now, which is one of my favorite songs ever, that speaks for itself. 10/10

Training Season - I was not feeling this one AT ALL at first, but it also grew on me a lot, tho I still think it could've been a little punchier. 7/10

These Walls - The production is nice, kinda reminds me of Kelly Clarkson, don't ask me why. I'ts not bad but also not anything spectacular right now. 5/10

Whatcha Doing - This one is really an adept for the next single, really groovy and catchy. 9/10

French Exit - Starts with drums, then goes into guitar, one of my favorites so far, also captures the summer vibe very well. 9/10

Illusion - At first, I thought it was just a weaker version of Hallucinate, oh how wrong I was. Already my song of the summer. 10/10

Falling Forever - The production is INSANE in this one. She starts with "How LOOOOONG?", same for the chorus. It's really like Choose Your Battles by Katy, just very sped up. Can we keep falling forever, she asks? 10/10

Anything For Love - Starts with laughing and talking with her friends/family, I immediately thought of her insta photos.  Then goes like a ballad and then suddenly, an uptemto banger, but unfortunately it ends really abturbly, it's basically an interlude. 8/10

Maria - Guitar driven, another summerish one, also could work as a single. Something Álvaro Soler would release. 9/10

Happy For You - Really interesting way to end this album, the production is heavy for her standarts, kinda reminds me of Linkin Park/Twenty One Pilots production, but maybe that's a reach.  Oh, and there's also a little psychadelic outro and animal sounds in the end of the song. 10/10

 

This review was written quickly and I still need time to absorb the album, but so far I can say that it's better than FN imo, it has the same highs as FN but no songs as bad as GIB and BWBB. And honestly, I'm glad that she changed the aesthetics of the era, I can't imagine the aesthetics of Houdini and TS with songs like End Of An Era, French Exit and Maria.

 

 

oh I'm so ready

She posted a cute snippet 

OMG it sounds so good

 

 

Which song do we think this is? 

album descriptions sound quite tragic, tired of her doing quality over quantity when the quality is barely there 

Count Contessa production? oh shes taking it...  

not 68 members currently browsing 

 

 

comparisons to Kelly Clarkson, Katy Perry and We're Good  oh how I miss the DL1 sound

71 members…

the chicken hasn't been served early has it?

The snippet of her singing is from "end of an era"

I don't get the We're Good hate, it doesn't fit Future Nostalgia, but it's a great song  

We're Good is easily Top 5 on FN, maybe even Top 3

81-85, probably, even though the album itself is probably going to be better than FN

 

honestly idk how FN managed to snatch an 88, it's a good pop album, but….that's a bit of an exaggeration when you look at other albums in that bracket. MAGDALENE by twigs for example

 

EDIT: Future Nostalgia IS iconic and impactful, but to me it's more of an 81 and not 88 😭. Still rightfully acclaimed 

They're dragging you but it's an 11 song album where 2 of the songs, the last two at that, are awful compared to the others.. FN tracks 1-9 are pop perfection but the last two are so bad it should have a ~84 score instead

 

That's why I'm fairly certain RO will be better than FN cause I don't see Dua adding 2 huge stinkers on this album

FN ranking before RO comes out:

1. Break My Heart
2. Levitating
3. Prisoner
4. Pretty Please
5. We're Good
6. Love Again
7. If It Ain't Me
8. Hallucinate
9. Future Nostalgia
10. Physical
11. That Kind Of Woman
12. Don't Start Now
13. Fever
14. Cool
15. Not My Problem
16. Boys Will Be Boys
17. Good In Bed

idk why GIB gets dragged so much  it fits well with the album

now BWBB? the lashings are justified

She sounds like a sheep in the chorus 

BAA BAA BAA BAA BAA 

I would like to know if she tops Levitating on this album cause if she does it's a contender for my favorite of all time since FN is already in my top 10

Grating chorus and a clunky post-chorus

It's so "bubblegum pop" and basic. It's the kind of song you might expect from Sabrina or Selena Gomez.

She already has
 

 

Good in Bed really grew on me over the years and while I don't like the album version of BWBB, I'm obsessed with the remix. Cool may be my least favourite actually. I don't really understand why so many people like it.

It's a fun pop song, people do the most! It's an album track for a reason lol We're Good in the other hand...

Houdini and Illusion are both better than everything on FN already so RO is going to be a legendary album I fear
