Kristie Kuwa Posted May 9 Posted May 9 I think the whole project has great replay-value. She did put some crack into it 1 7

tost1 Posted May 9 Posted May 9 This really hit today. I even bopped to French Exit and End of an Era. It was made for warm weather, no depressive winter hoes allowed
halcyonday Posted May 9 Posted May 9 7 hours ago, Cain said: If I see one more 'higher highs but lower lows' FN has POP EXCELLENCE, the first 9 songs on that album are tight sequenced pop masterpieces. Nothing on Radical Midimism comes even close. Then song 10 and 11 are a dip in quality but nothing laughably bad or embarrassing. GIB is a fun song and BWBB is her attempt at making a statement, which may not totally work but at least she made the swing (even if it missed) RO has no such swings, she's not aiming for anything. She's not reaching for the stars like she did on FN. This is her on autopilot and it's a way less enjoyable jumbled mess of ideas, the sequencing sucks, the tracklisting makes no sense, and the overall theme of 'dating' is weak. I'd rather take the two 'lower lows' of FN if that means I get an entire masterclass in pop on the 9 tracks before instead of the album that's bordering on background music Oh and she also needs to shut the hell up next album cycle, she's clearly delusional and terrible at describing her own music oh it's bad for Dua if @Cain lashes her like that

ahauntingnearu Posted May 9 Posted May 9 Just now, itsjokesta said: I better see Andrew Watt on the DL4 credits. No more Ian pls. Drugs // Chaos Theory would have been a better name for this album. At best, RO is a huge exaggeration for what this album is about, and at worst makes basically no sense
Kristie Kuwa Posted May 9 Posted May 9 My Top Tracks so far: Illusion These Walls Watcha Doin End of an era Houdini Imagine this was the single run. Maybe the whole era would've done much better . Essentially Illusion benefitted from being released not too long ago, so im sure itll fall behind. But These Walls - Watcha Doin - End of An Era during album release and Houdini as the finish of the era wouldve been much better 2
Burqa Posted May 9 Posted May 9 Some user who tried to snatch the album thread wrote Vertical Optimism and I think would've been a bit edgier and therefore better title she could've made up something like optimism being a path that you have to be willing to go down or whatever 1
Post Malone Posted May 9 Posted May 9 The transition between the bridge to the last (adlib-less, change-less, ineffective, useless) last chorus at 2:49 in These Walls is so bad the 10 seconds bridge was like the only part of the song potentially evoking emotion or tension… only for the identical chorus we already heard before to abruptly kick in and repeat itself unwantedly 1 4

itsjokesta Posted May 9 Posted May 9 My Top Tracks: (in no particular order) Maria Watcha Doing End of An Era Houdini These Walls French Exit (hear me out the ***** is a grower)

But These Walls - Watcha Doin - End of An Era during album release and Houdini as the finish of the era wouldve been much better I feel like, (objectively speaking) Dua should've let the singles stay as little psychdelic nuggets for us to listen to when the album released and instead push something more DTN radio friendly initially. (But that's just my take.) 1
Cain Posted May 9 Posted May 9 Wait the PYP thread @Relampago. rearrange my thoughts next OT: These Walls is a HIT 1
roman19911 Posted May 9 Posted May 9 Falling Forever really is my favorite song by Dua ever, I am really in love with it 1 1
