its music. there was one song that sounded like a bladee song at the beginning but i cant remember which one
literally nothing beats this album. even when i'm not listening i think about "singing on a feeboo stree" every day at least once. one of the many albums that makes me think of my wonderful boyfriend.
This is basically the only album i listened to when i was 17. basically my years from 14-18 are a blur and something i dont make myself try to remember often, but hearing this album again does bring me joy. I'm going into this not really knowing about the true what and why of it, so this is fully interpretation and also maybe a bit of messy bullshit. I see this album in 3 "acts". the first act spans from Green Light up til The Louvre. It's very bright, very happy, and it reflects a "young, dumb and in love" feeling. Green Light is my favorite opening ever. The Louvre is definitely the youngest, dumbest and most love-struck track on the album. Just fun all around. The second act goes from Liability to Sober II. It feels horribly sad, in a way that I don't really know how to describe--like an emotion for which you don't yet have a name. Sober II is a perfect title track to this album. "Melodrama". I finally have a name for this feeling. it almost feels like it's an emotion found too late, like "how did I not realize this earlier?" The 3rd act runs from Writer in the Dark to Perfect Places. Now that I have a name for this emotion, I can wield it. Writer in the Dark feels like the beginning of growing out of that emotion, but in a wrong way. "How I felt was kind dumb, but I've grown since then, and I'm better now". Supercut is the antithesis of that--viewing the past in perfection, free of all the bad parts. When Lorde says "but you're not what you thought you were" in Liability (Reprise), she speaks to herself. She's not the person she thought she was in that perfect memory, that Supercut. Perfect Places wraps this album up so wonderfully; she realizes that love is going to be stupid and awkward and a little embarrassing no matter what. Nothing wrong with that. Despite this album being so prevalent to me, this is my first time actually thinking about in in depth, which makes me think more about my teen years--something I shouldn't be avoiding no matter how much it sucks to think about.
don't really have much to say. i think it was just some guys fucking around or something, busting out the triangle, the guiro, just for a laugh. whatever
This album is very, very good. This is my first time listening, but it didn't have as strong of an emotional impact on me as I thought it would. It's not that I was emotionless throughout the listen, but the emotions were moreso something I understood rather than felt. Like how your skin feels when there's a callus over it. I feel like this album would have elicited an emotional response from me had I listened to it when i was younger. I will definitely come back to this album.
Funnily enough I came across this album because theres an undertale mashup with Waters of Nazareth. It's a very fun album, although listening to it again I realize it's not perfect. The best parts are the beginning and the end but the middle is weak, like a burger where the best part is the bun.
