Oktober Knight Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 1 hour ago, mike_int said: The 2:21 one is giving me internal rage already LOL Like, add one chorus or extend the intro or outro but 2:21 on 11 tracks album Exactly. Thank god they're giving us extended versions at least which are far superior and not rushed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely get that - I was originally bummed that and the "ok" were left out. But I like the extended version allowing the song to build from the bottom up vs. just starting with every instrumentation line already playing like the og version That plus the added instrumentation in the third chorus before the breakdown, which helps the song grow (vs. copy and paste from og) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mixing wise, not the breakdown and new verse obvs A lot of her vocals feel more muted and they're barely present in the breakdown imo, first time listening to it felt off because I got so used to her vocals, but I love the edit because of it now cause it feels like a diff song almost. I think Houdini extended mix feels the most like a different song whereas illusion and TS extended mixes are exactly as the name entails, an extended mix and nothing more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a shame Gaga didn't do it justice. Even bigger shame nothing from Radical Optimism comes even close to this production 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgechxng Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 i love dua and i was super excited for this era and i'm still curious to hear the album but i agree w most people saying that something feels off. the songs aren't distinctive enough from FN but the biggest issue is that they aren't even as good as them. they're good/decent tracks but i feel like they're missing an extra punch. I also feel like visuals are not super inviting or compelling. I hope this is a success for her and it turns out to be a long term/slow burner smash tho. she's clearly a very dedicated pop artist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
