Klein Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 7 hours ago, Scheissex said: Do you mean in terms of theme? Because TTPD is not really known for its cohesiveness Yes, in terms of theme and story. I know TTPD is not cohesive, but that's actually my main (and pretty much only) criticism towards the album. There's only really one critic of the album that I think is warranted and unfortunately agree with: the album is bloated. The three main topics that I'm gathering when listening to the album are: Joe, Matty, and how fame can impact her personal life. Most of the songs fall into 1 or 2 of these categories. But then, you still have: - Travis (So High School) - Kim Kardashian (thanK you aIMee, Cassandra) - Childhood (Peter, Robin) - some songs that are redundant with another (ex: Florida!!!, that says nothing that wasn't already said better on FOTS) That's just... too much. It dilutes the message of the album. And I sadly don't find any reason to include these songs other than just increasing the number of tracks of the album to get better numbers. Imo, TTPD standard should've been about Joe/Matty, and then the deluxe be about the celebrity aspect of the album. That way the deluxe could've come and brought another level of understanding to the demise of her relationships by bringing her fame into it, because sadly, as it is, the deluxe repeats things that have already been said, and brings a ton of new topics on the table that just confuse the overall message. I think if she wanted to release SHS, TYA, Cassandra, Peter, Robin, etc... (the song I mentioned earlier), it would have been better as vault tracks. Because I think most of these songs are great and wouldn't want them erased from existence. Spoiler Standard 1. The Black Dog 2. So Long London 3. Guilty As Sin? 4. The Albatross 5.

The entire song is her positioning herself as Wendy and Matty as Peter. The loose ends left behind after their initial parting in 2014, broken promises, and their inability to find themselves in a timeline where they fit together. "I won't confess that I waited, but I let the lamp burn, as the men masqueraded, I hoped you return" -> literally biding time in each successive relationship while a flame still burned for her eternal muse. The song uses a point of reference from childhood, but that's only a device to illustrate her naivety for believing that one day things would work out between the two as well as provide a direct link to cardigan through the lyrical parallels. It's kind of the perfect song to serve as a prologue to lay the scene for the story that follows. Edited July 19 by Kyle-x 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can stream that song as much as you like and you can think it's the greatest song ever made but idk why we have to hear about it I hope you enjoyed your Eras shows though 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
