Mujinkyaku 262 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 The reception, critical or commercial, has been tepid at best. Even a big portion of the fandom can't seem to get excited for it. I feel like this single has almost been a hype killer for this era, because it is so far below most expectations, especially considering the talent involved (it took 4 people to cook up this Pat Benatar B-Side? Okay...). The sound and image are interesting choices but the execution leaves a lot to be desired: the song is one of her weakest in terms of hook(s) / melodie(s), and her worst single. Perfect Illusion is album filler, not lead single material... The video is also underwhelming. Like, she / her team need to come harder. /rant Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quartz 11,923 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Dude, she has more artistic integrity than anyone in the industry right now. She will never do that. And she isn't aiming for slayage this era omg. She's putting out art she likes. This will be the era where she won't have any top ten hit and I think I'm ok with that for the most part. Inside, we are really made the same. 🕊 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKillerQueen 1,983 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 The song is amazing, but I agree. It wasn't a good choice for a "comeback" single. Don't even get me started on the music video... Lace up my boots, throw on some leather and cruise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morphine Prince 95,948 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 No. It's her best lead single since Bad Romance imo. I love it and idc how bad it does commercially or what the public thinks of it. My love of the music is all that matters.  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
