Azor Ahai 18,861 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Did you even listen to the album? What do you call these songs? Pop trap? or what? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiona Apple 13,006 Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 What do you call these songs? Pop trap? or what? It's not trap or edm at all.. It's a mix of dark wave with electropop.. And you seriously think that it's not original? I want EVEN 1 ALBUM that sounds like this one.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenniferella 2,774 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I don't get the point of your comment If you really mean it though.. It's the BRILLIANT debut album from the alternative new artist Melanie Martinez.You should give it a listen I will !!

Eros92 2,481 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 PRESSED AFThe album is literally flawless. For a DEBUT album it's pretty damn good. It's all al giant story. It's brilliant. Every song has a meaning and I think thats beautiful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prometheus 1,494 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 that's unfortunate. FROOT is amazing. give it a listen, you may fell in love again. I've given it a listen, but it's just not there. I'm not a big fan of the sound. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcphee 1,778 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I just thought the concept was all a bit much, it sounds okay but the track listing is so basic it actually hurts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creyk 16,842 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 It's a fair score. They were generous already, that album doesn't deserve more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whispering 18,865 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I always liked Melanie on The Voice. I listened to the album and liked a few of the songs, but it did seem to be a bit too much of the same thing. It also stayed at one level for me. I think it is a good starting point. The real telling point will be what she does on the next album, how she grows from her debut and what she can do, past the little girl theme. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mucinex 4,260 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 i think it was a great album for a debut and i listen to it often, i would give it a 3.5 or a 4, i love it but it is bland. but melanie has an idea and stuck with it and did it well you can't give that a 2, that is just disrespectful Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kayla 7,595 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 This thread and article made me curious about the album, so I went and gave a passive listen and read through the lyrics. The concept of the album is extremely unique and I love how she paired up things which represent a childlike innocence with very dark and serious subject matter. It's also personal to her, as it reflects her emotional troubles.She even wrote a book and had it illustrated where each page corresponded to a song on the album.It's completely cohesive, which is rare to see. The only issue I have with the album is that there isn't a lot of diversity in her vocals throughout the song and some of the sounds seem pretty basic for the genre (I can't describe them...just like...typical music sounds to hear with music like this?)It reminds me of Kerli, but with better album concept, direction, and lyrics, but less advanced in the non-verbal part of the music, if that makes sense. Billboard gave a bad review. Not only is the review horribly written, it doesn't give Cry Baby the credit it deserves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kayla 7,595 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 basic? Not the song itself, just some of the musical...effects? Sounds? Like the less noticeable equivalent of the airhorn in rap music. There are just certain sounds used that pop up a lot in music like this that I noticed. They tend to stick out like a sore thumb to me, despite the fact that I can never describe them appropriately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with everything you said except of the "some of the sounds seem pretty basic for the genre" part because I think that her musical style is very unique...But yeah I don't think that an album like this can actually get below 3,5/5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
