yup... the song immediately transitions into End of the World  a continuous album it is

 

Christ alive this is exceptional 

This song alone clears that **** insider's opinion about the album.

Could this album be a more polished and streamlined version of Dead Petz? 

GROWN UP DEAD PETZ WTF 

the stoner rock vibes of the title track?? I'm living! WE'RE LISTENING MILEY 

4:32 song length

no tiktok appeal

no radio appeal

no gimmicks

bringing jazz, rnb & rock into 1 track, experimenting yet again

pure talentry

MUVA IS HERE

 

ART NOT THE CHARTS

MUSIC NOT THE BLING

MOTHER MILEY IS HERE TO SLAY

not sure how I feel about the title track. Dead Petz were my least favorite era of hers.

we'll see what the full project will look like

I love the direction, but the real single is coming this friday?

My personal theory is that Handstand was one of the last tracks made for ESV, and that's when she decided she wanted to work with Maxx on a whole project. It was a hint as to what was coming next, as Handstand is so left field compared to the rest of ESV.

No explicit tracks 

My only issue is that the vocals mixing is very... muffled, fire whoever mastered title track and the prelude

 

Either way

she's always bringing something interesting to the table, at the cost of not always managing to actually do it perfectly. but Miley ******* Cyrus will ALWAYS be that girl whatever she does. A true chameleon that follows her own path

That bothered me too, but it also kind of happened on Handstand, so maybe the blame here lies on Maxx. 

 

That said, I do think it doesn't take away from the overall gorgeousness of the song.

idk if i'm imagining things but it reminds me of arthouse movies. Maybe she inteded for the songs to sound like this

The way the suburban wine moms that started stanning Miley after Flowers will be weirded out by this entire album    oh, Miley, I'll be in the trenches for you! 

i just listened with my studio speakers and jesus it sounds even better. i LOVE LOVE LOVE

I think the vocal mixing is definitely intentional. At least to me the Jazz parts do sound actually pretty nicely mixed. Unlike UTBY which still irks me how off the vocal mixing is

Am I the only that felt some similarities between some parts of SB and Mirror?

Literally listening to Mirror as I read this  I definitely hear it, the structures are quite similar.

I thought there was something wrong with my headphones. It really doesn't sound good 

Aside from the awful vocal processing they've been doing over her past two albums which completely stifles her resonant, powerful voice (wtf), this song is huge and is what I've been wanting from her for forever. She shines best when she gets to be weird and let her artistic side show.
