NoAngelus Posted November 2 Posted November 2 Album is so bad I wish it was never released because it only ruins her overall discography. Not one redeeming quality about it. Not one song to keep. Hell, not one proper song on it. 4 6
sk8erfan Posted November 2 Posted November 2 The album is pretty good, but given it's so short it plays out super fast. Like the fact there isn't a single bridge on it too Mirror sounds so good as well, hope they go for a deluxe because I just need more material 2
GiulioLIFESTYLE Posted November 2 Posted November 2 The two leaks are cute, I like The Driver in particular and I could see it replacing All comes back, which is the only song I don't really like and that breaks the amazing mood created by Honesty>Floodgate>Crown I really like 7 (the fact I had almost accepted we were never going to get any new music from her really makes me appreciate it more despite its flaws), but it needs longer songs and a different track order The songs on 7 were longer and had a different order (and ACB was completely removed), the album would have been way way way better Hopefully we are still getting the deluxe with some extended versions and some new tracks, and then a new album by mid 2026. The interest is still there but she can't just drop an album and then disappear for 5 - 7 years 1
BraveNewSeth Posted November 2 Posted November 2 This album would've been much better if the songs were fleshed out a bit and given proper bridges. As it is now it just sounds like she's chasing a TikTok hit, and an artist of Nelly's stature is above that. There's no way I'll believe that someone who released epics like Childhood Dreams and All Good Things is okay with releasing these dinky little 2 minute songs. 2

I really hate how short are the songs from this album, especially the amazing ones like Honesty, Fantasy, Take Me Down and Save Your Breath. Hopefully she'll quit this annoying Tik Tok trend for her upcoming album. 1

It's sad to see legacy artists who released songs that were anywhere from 3 to 5 minutes long with albums at least 40 minutes or longer are now making songs that are mostly under 3 minutes with the albums being just barely over 30 minutes. I doubt that these artists would have made these short songs 20 years ago 2
FranzJoseph Posted November 3 Posted November 3 (edited) The songs leaked like 2 months before the album came out. You guys didn't notice? I've had them on my phone since early August. Edited November 3 by FranzJoseph 1
makeawish Posted November 3 Posted November 3 i've been meaning to come back to this for ages so i've listened to it a couple times today and i think it's alright, but it does feel a bit generic in places? i think her personality came thru more the second time but there's stuff on here that really could be anyone. i don't mind the short songs so much but it is frustrating when you get something really good like floodgates that just drifts off after 2 minutes and it feels very "wow is that it?" worst songs are the ones with boring generic guy vocals on them, better for worse esp is not good and ironically feels like it lasts for years at about 3 mins 24 compared to the rest of the album 1

rebeltwat Posted November 4 Posted November 4 Not this turning into a 7 hate thread. Is there a consistent view among the base that Folklore is her best album?
Dark Miracles Posted November 12 Posted November 12 Looks like that remix of Yellowstraps "blue" is still coming?
Dark Miracles Posted November 12 Posted November 12 This is kinda the single best melody on the album tbh
Kern Posted November 12 Posted November 12 From this album I only liked Fantasy. The rest is really uninspired and short
