My review:

Top Track: Witness
Single Material: Chained to the Rhythm, Roulette, Bigger Than Me
Good Songs: Save As Draft
Songs that could have been very good (if better produced, vocalised, lyricised): Miss You More, Bon Appetit, Pendulum
Growers: Swish Swish*
Fillers: Hey Hey Hey, Deja Vu, Tsunami
Trash: Power, Mind Maze, Into Me You See

My Top 5 Songs:

1. Witness
2. Roulette
3. Bigger Than Me
4. Chained to the Rhythm
5. Save As Draft

Overall, I found the album extremely overwhelming, even more than PRISM. The only song that truly stands out is Witness, which in my opinion should have been the 2nd single. Most of the tracks are either boring, or need further improvements. An example is Pendulum; the verses are very well produced but the chorus is underwhelming and weak, especially as it repeats the "It's a pendulum it all goes back around" line. If I were in the position to choose, the singles that seem to have some potential are "Witness", "Roulette", and "Bigger than Me". 
 

*Swish Swish is a really polarising song for me. Somehow it qualifies both as a banger and complete trash. I was going to put it in the trash section but gave it a last listen and kinda bopped to it, hence listed it as a grower.

Witness - 9/10 

Heyx3 - 0/10 - everything about this song is annoying

Roulette - 6/10 

Swish Swish - 8/10 - refreshing in context

Deja Vu - 7/10 - lines like 'your love is like chinese water torture' and 'figure out the rubic's cube' are a lil too obvious lol

Power - 2/10 This sounded like a really electronic circle the drain or something, but worse of course.  I can't imagine anyone listening to this song ever again.

Mind Maze - LOL/10 - excuse me Kathryn? 

Miss You More - 6/10 - Real potential here honestly, the chorus isn't memorable at all.

Chained To The Rhythm - 10/10 once again refreshing

Tsunami - 7/10 - This song is fun-ner than most of the album has been...doesn't go anywhere though

Bon Appetit - 10/10 - Honestly this is a Bop and we all didn't know.  Shouldn't have had Migos on it and it's SO out of place.

Bigger Than Me - 0/10 - nice try :sweat:

Save As Draft - 2/10 - Why do half of these songs sound like Wide Awake or smthg but worse :toofunny: She is trying to be so uplifting, but is failing so hard.  I like the metaphor, but 'so I take a deep breath and I save as draft' rly? she needs to get off twitter.

Pendulum - 7/10 the best part of the song is that it at least comes at the end.

Into Me You See - Yikes idk I'm just gonna stop now 'open sesame'?? really?? all I pictured was a the gates of heaven, but a vag instead

 

Well that was really hard... I honestly can't believe she released this. :giggle:

My final thoughts: great album but it feels like almost EVERY single song is missing something. Like, it's almost there but not quite :/ 

I think they should have spent more time editing & tweaking it. If ARTPOP was too much, Witness is not enough.

Overall better than her previous work. Has a handful of gems but nothing too special. The title track is great. The production is the best thing about this album.

Do you hear that? It's poison.

Prism > Teenage Dream > Witness.

Sad to realise that the albums standout tracks are already singles. Its a pretty lacklustre album.

I think it's such a fascinating album! She covers some pretty great topics and I absolutely LOVE it!!! :tony: 

My only issue with it is that there are some really deep tracks with interesting themes so when the kinda "hype" songs like Hey Hey Hey and Swish Swish show up it just makes them sound stupid.

I don't have the final version of Witness I only have the demo. It's the only song I don't have and there were long instrumentals where vocals should have been tbh. Also BA is a bop :giggle:

Best Songs

Witness (Props to the producers)

Power

Déjà Vu

Worst Songs 

Bon Appétit

Swish Swift 

The others were just irrelevant to me :awkney: I had hopes for Tsunami as it sounds like a Tame Impala song, but it's just boring.

Pendulum sounded much better as a snippet cause it didn't really do much for me it was meh at best :poot:
