Illuminati Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Just listened and wow, she really shines on her shorter albums. The last four tracks + Birds Of A Feather and Chihiro are all great Lunch as a lead seems like a weird pick though Happier Than Ever clicked with me eventually but it was such a hard listen at first, it's a bit all over the place and would probably hit harder without a couple of tracks. This one flows very well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Close to a 10/10 in my eyes. I just drove to work and it didn't hit as hard (and soft ) in the car than headphones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KatyPrismSpirit Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Lunch is low key overhated. It's such a feel good bop. Seen people saying it's the Lost Cause of the album like let's be real Its def not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it a lot, I gave it a 8/10 and the only real critique I had was that I think it's not really something "new" for her but that it expands and improves on what she's done before so that's fine. I just think, although her and Finneas make magic together, I think it's time to work with someone else for better or for worse. I think with time people will start to see the "Jack Antonoff" effect with them, where their best days are behind them but they keep working together and it.. stagnates a bit. Thankfully that didn't happen here, but I dunno if it'll work a 4th time. Then again, I thought that prior to this album and was proven wrong so who knows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papi Juancho Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Ok, after my initial hype I think it's just another Billie album, amazing but nothing new. Finneas is a production genius, my goodness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elevate Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Fantastic album. Very meticulous and intentional. Easy contender for AOTY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I just said the exact same thing in another thread I don't necessarily agree though, I think Finneas is very talented and versatile. Can't wait to see what they come up with next 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relampago. Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 I knew this album would be one of those albums I need to play at the right time and right place, but the way Birds of a Feather is about to make me cry in my dark kitchen at night as I sit alone eating yogurt Lemme toss on Chihiro real quick instead 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to be one of the greatest things to have ever been made. It has that nostalgic feeling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suilen Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 The issue with Antonoff is that he's been resting on his laurels for a while now while Finneas still feels the pressure to improve. This is where another AOTY win might nip his ambition, but we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4th Time Around Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 (edited) I have really been loving this album so far I think it clears HTE and is about equal with her debut. Billie and FINNEAS continue to find ways to explore new territory without losing the magic of their creative partnership Edited May 17 by 4th Time Around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
