so basically if it was a completely different song :deadbanana2:

Not really, it just lacks a few details in background vocals and whatnot to make it pop off at the end. Some lyrics could have been better tho

Im really trying to get into it but this entire album sounds unseasoned and bland :rip: this could've been 100 times better

I have listened to a lot of FN outtakes and a large portion sounds like this but less summery. Ball and Chain, Crocodile Tears, Berlin Summer. I loved these songs, however these songs don't hit the right spot for me. 

 

I loved the singles, but these songs seem very plain like potato, meat and vegatables. There are no real dishes to me.... 

 

I think the problem lies in the production, it's really stripped back, some of the instruments sounds straights out of GarageBand. 

 

But I will give it another try.

Finally listening to this in my country. Omg it sounds so good.

 

The 6.6 from * is also so surprising to me. Considering it's been getting 3s and 4s, I assumed they would go in. Dua must be in their "we don't mind her" list.

Welcome to the panned club, sisters.

I must've loved you more than I ever knew 
(Didn't know I could ever feel)
'Cause I'm happy for you
(Now I know everything was real)
I'm not mad, I'm not hurt 
You got everything you deserve
Oh, I must've loved you more than I ever knew
I'm happy for you

The review itself is kind of harsh tho :skull:

After 24 hours, I still think Falling Forever and These Walls are career hightlights.

If I say this is more consistent than FN...

Happy For You is one of the highlights. 

 

Maybe if the entire album fit its vibe of summery, breezy escape instead of trying to pretend to be psychedelic pop... it would've been a much better album.

There's a few new important reviews out but they're not rated, we'll have to wait for Metacritic to update. But one of them looks panned and the other two seemed to like the album.

there's hints of an interesting pop album buried in here but overall it's just very bland and flat

I want to give the entire album another replay but Grammy's For You has me in a chokehold.

Who knew Dua would release the SOTY?
