FRANK1991 3,329 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 hmmm IDK from first listen Gonna Get Better is good but the rest sounds so so I guess cause Work from home, the life, and write on me is too good, they are instant likes for me since first listen. Just like Ari's DW I need a couple more listen to get into it. The songs are not bad they just don't stand out; we'll see after I let it sink in for a few days Cause once you let it go you better know it's gone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The songs are not bad they just don't stand out; we'll see after I let it sink in for a few days I think I have the exact opposite feeling. At first spin I bopped through the whole album, but after a few spins I had the feeling that the album really focusses on current (shortlived) trends. So much so that I think that I'm gonna get sick of this music really fast and that it will sounds super dated in a few years. Free my mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eightpop 2,288 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 THIS ALBUM IS SOO DAMN GOOD! One of my fav this year. That's My Girl is the best song on the album and probably their best song!!! Litterally scalped me when I heard it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some think I'm overhyping it but I'm a sucker for songs with a dark theme and haunting production, the title, the lyrics, the vocals, the sound effects in the production. I almost cried cause it's a Japanese bonus track. How on earth do songs such as Dope, Squeeze, Gonna Get Better make it to the list and BBW doesn't. If I was able to pick the singles off this album I would have picked 1-Work From Home 2-I Lied (better summer anthem than flex in my opinion) 3-That's My Girl 4-Big Bad Wolf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be killer between Going Nowhere and Worth It is what I meant with it feels more Reflection I really freaking hope this turns out well for the girls, they stepped up their game so much Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsTommyBitch 12,640 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 After a day of listening, I had bad first impressions of the record. Squeeze grew on me, but I still think the way they sing "squeeze" in the chorus seems very out of place, and the production on some of the songs doesnt really seem like it fits the song at all. Songs I use: That's My Girl Work From Home I Lied (Best song on the record hands down I just wish Camila didn't make the words "Cause Love never got me THIS HIGH" sound so extra The post chorus breakdown is what Scared of Happy tried to do, but it succeeded. The bridge is also orgasmic ) All in my Head (Flex) (Fetty Wap's warbley auto-tuned voice is just so encapsulating, tbh I literally listened to all of his 20 song album after I got to this song on the album because It was so good Then I continued ) Not That Kinda Girl Big Bad Wolf (Camila's verse here is the best shes ever recorded Which isn't hard I guess but ) ~~~ The rest is okay, only songs I actively do NOT want to listen to are: The Life Write on Me Dope ~~~~ In general, the production is very modern and good, the songs are "catchy" so they do their job, but none of these lyrics showed an ounce of personality to me tbh. On Reflection there was a more inviting, girl power, empowerment theme that connected the record. Scared of Happy is a really good song, minus the refrain's instrumental, its really jarring to me and not as "dancey" as I think it should be. Gonna get better started out really good, but I was done with it when Camila came in ~~~ I give the album a 7/10. I much prefer Reflection. At least Camila isn't singing every chorus on this album (though she is balanced as the high voice and stands out more than I'd want from her on many tracks still...) and every song is not a weak form of sexual innuendo like I expected after Work From Home. It's good, but im a bit disappointed. 私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockySayTalk 504 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Ok it was on UK Apple Music so finally listened to it! highlights: Squeeze, That's My Girl, All In My Head (Flex) and No Way I'm so disappointed in the Scared of Happy break down honestly, the intro, prechorus are all so so good but that sound is just off putting and I really want to like it... Maybe if I hear it a bit more overall I really like the tropical house production (Kygo good job), but I wonder what the Max Martin rejects were I Lied is nice, but I'm not hearing the single potential definitely recommending the album! Work From Home was a great first single but it's not entirely representative of the album hope it opens doors for the girls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discuss! Honestly its okay. The only tracks I like are Work from home, thats my girl, write on me. Their second single all in my head (flex) literally sounds like every single rap beat that was made last year like that song loyal, show me etc. Thats my girl is a serious bop shouldve been the second single instead. Its the only other hit I hear on it.

BlondeKingOfGGD 2,007 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 SOO glad I gave this album a listen.. LOVE every song on it.
