But it kinda sounds too "disney" to me, or almost like a Miley Cyrus song back in 2007 or something. @Turuncan As sweet as sugar, as light as vapor, as innocent as a baby. Everything ‘All Good Things (Come to an End)’ is trying to be, but fails to do. @KING ELIZABITCH A beautiful heart-breaking ballad that may not have been a hit but is very well-written. One of those bittersweet traditional pop songs that make you smile. Yass. What's up with @kyanewest tho?

narcoswing 1,129 Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 No. 5 - Wait For You Score: 8,428571429 My own ranking: #8 Highest score: 11p @Turuncan Lowest score: 4p @kyanewest Comments: Spoiler @kyanewest I feel like the instrumental is the star, you could listen to it alone and it does the song for you. The verses add nothing, the chorus could've been improved, feels like the voice was edited in such a way that the instrumental is overpowing, that's what I'm noticing with this album is that at some point when everything comes together (the instru + voice + added instruments for the chorus) it just sounds like a big noise sometimes. This song wouldve been better if the chorus was improved though @Turuncan I am a person who is very fond of ethnic melodies in contemporary music. That being said, I fell in love with ‘Wait for You’ the minute I heard its “bağlama”s, a prominent element of Turkish folk music, which she samples from the late Turkish folk singer Muhlis Akarsu. Being a Turk myself, I could not be more proud of this song, no matter how Timbaland shamelessly ripped it off from Akarsu. I also love the lyrics about commitment and trust, a must for every relationship. @KING ELIZABITCH Old-school Nelly. This one sounds like a leftover from her past releases but it works perfectly. The outro is my favourite part. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

narcoswing 1,129 Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 It's awfully quiet right now so I'll get on going! Part 2 of #5: No. 5 - Do It Score: 8,428571429 My own ranking: #7 Highest score: 11p @juju Lowest score: 5p @kyanewest Comments: Spoiler @kyanewest Damn, the drums sound very 80s, same goes with the melody. The synthetizer in this context works to create the vintage vibe but I'm not sure it was done on purpose. Whatever it is, Nelly's high notes are everything. The chorus isn't boring, imma give this 5/10 @Turuncan I don’t care about the controversy surrounding it. This 80s stuff is what this album needed the most in the midst of the 2000s. I love both the album version and the single edit featuring Missy Elliott. And it’s a shame that it was excluded from “The Best of Nelly Furtado” probably because of Timbaland’s aforementioned copyright infringement controversy. @KING ELIZABITCH One of the poppiest sounds of the album. It's quite bright and mellow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
narcoswing 1,129 Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 Four songs left, all are hit singles. Not surprised tbh, so the suspense is placed more on whose favorite track will win! I'll take a break and be back with #4 shortly! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

narcoswing 1,129 Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 No. 4 - All Good Things (Come To An End) Score: 8,78 My own ranking: #3 Highest score: 10,5 @kyanewest Lowest score: 5 @Turuncan Comments: Spoiler @kyanewest God damn Nelly, this song could become a real classic. The melody fits the instrumental perfectly like a missing puzzle piece, so much so that you feel like you're in a dream. I like the violins joining in for the chorus, and different voices coming together creating an atmosphere, that's what I like the most in songs, you feel like you've escaped to some place else (sounds cheesy but you're visiting different feelings). This song is sad, if you love sad songs that should be part of your playlist. "Why do all good things come to an end?" Same girl, I think bout it everyday It keeps building up and actually going somewhere unlike some of the songs in this album. It closes with Nelly's beautiful voice singing the melody in such a childish but charming way, adding to this beautiful vibe. Ugh, it's a masterpiece to me, I wanna give it a 11 but oh well @Turuncan Surprisingly, this successful single is my least favorite among all album tracks. Maybe due to its inability to be genuinely sweet as much as it desperately tries to be, or the existence of Chris Martin on the track, whom I hate from head over heels, I could never warm up to this song. @KING ELIZABITCH Another highligh of the album is this track with it's poetic sadness that closes the original version of the album in the most elegant way.
