ChicaSkas 22,292 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Actually sort of upset they released a short album and didn't have like 3-5 legit bonus tracks I hate to say this for fear of rotten tomatoes hurled at me, but I was expecting more melodic and substantial "hits", like the variety and even pace of Rock Steady, like, more of a driven flow. Things tend to peter out and get weirdly repetetive after a certain point on the album. Also wanted faster songs and more Ska haha. OFF TOPIC -- Push And Shove so so so reminded me lyrically for a second of this rare 1991 Disneyland demo by a very young No Doubt: "Where's Your Lovin'?" http://www.mediafire.com/?t4mqs3xd7cb3n3t I'm doing it for something I think it's your lovin Your huggin' your kissin' you're sweet tender lovin' The thought of you comin' makes me come a runnin' I ran all the way just-a pushin' and shovin' Do YOU own the 4' by 6' Perfect Illusion promo Poster? Will pay you for it. Pic: http://i.imgur.com/UWuzumk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The copy of the leak I downloaded was corrupt so I haven't been able to listen to it, I won't hear it until I get the CD between classes. Although based off the previews, I wish more songs were uptempo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although based off the previews, I wish more songs were uptempo. I agree with you, I was hoping for more. who knows though, we might get an Everything In Time 2 or something one of these days. Sorry it was corrupt, i got mine from KingAlan1/RoyalJester who so kindly untorrented it and uploaded. Thinking of going to Target today and picking up a copy :) Do YOU own the 4' by 6' Perfect Illusion promo Poster? Will pay you for it.

kupo 201 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 It doesn't really bleed together to me at all, though I can sort of understand how it does for some people, because this is an album with a very, very focused aesthetic. Like, Push and Shove, Looking Hot, Settle Down, Sparkle, and Undone--those five sort of do their own thing, but the other six tracks all explore a very specific strain of 80's inspiration. I personally find that a strength--it's just a very rigorously explored aesthetic, and they pull it off beautifully. For me, each of those songs sort of feeds off each other. Easy, One More Summer, and Dreaming the Same Dream form this sort of dreamy, nostalgia-soaked trifecta, and they're just perfect. Gah. I love this album so, so much.

ChicaSkas 22,292 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 ooh i miss this kind of track: Leftovers: http://www.mediafire.com/?je5f525hrz5h5bh Big Distraction: http://www.mediafire.com/?e3effw5z4bkdnbj It doesn't really bleed together to me at all, though I can sort of understand how it does for some people, because this is an album with a very, very focused aesthetic.

I missed Gwen's unique quaver so so so so much. her voice is legendary. I think I need to listen to it more for it to start growing on me more. Do YOU own the 4' by 6' Perfect Illusion promo Poster?

One Five Ten 70 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 (edited) Love the video for P&S apart from so many shots of Gwen alone stroking her hair looking like a vampire But other than that it just looks like they're having fun singing along to their song looking hot in black and white, and there's nothing wrong with that!
