Pennywise 36,079 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Disappointing. Underwhelming? Should have been scrapped. So long ggd, it was nice while it lasted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glamourpuss 29,062 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I expected his involvement to pack more of a punch. I am happy with how Plastic Doll turned out because it's perfect to me but when I learned that he produced the track I was shocked because it doesn't sound like it has his stamp on it.

Anderson123 38,218 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Same. I thought it’d actually sound more like 911 with the electronic sounds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickkoko 922 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Personally, the quality of the production is up to par with what Sonny is capable of. I wish the song was a lot darker, and heavier. I think that's where he really shines in his production. Maybe we'll get a remix from him this era? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds really well done but it was a little too bright and bubblegummy for me which I imagine is supposed to be ironic or w.e but it would've been so much better if it had that grit and edginess that I love about skrillex A remixed ver of album would be amazing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gagaism 11,629 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 This is one thing very interesting on her collabs, we always get expectations on how it’s going to be based on their styles and she just comes with different things. We would recognize easily a production from her old or long time collaborators but not with 90% the of those “one time” ones. I think she made to get a very good work with BloodPop in Chromatica, which is quite different from what they had in Joanne and it just shows how she can manage and brings what she wants easily. I really liked Plastic Doll since the beginning and I have a feeling that she wanted to bring some The Fame nostalgia on its production with kinda of an Skrillex “up leveling” which is very well done imo.

HausOfAntonio 8,021 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I LOVE Plastic Doll and will defend it from haters to my grave. That being said I can’t help but wishing we got to hear a little more of that experimental, exciting Skrillex we know he can deliver. They made an excellent, albeit safe pop track (which totally works and which I love) when they could’ve made something really outside the box.

Miel 15,009 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I personally feel like I hear it in the bass and drum programming. I think. It's so much more distinct and sharp, compared to the rest of the album, which has a rounder, fatter tonality in its percussion and bass. I think the overall sound of Plastic Doll (maybe 911 also) is so much more distinct than the rest of the album, in that it eschews any of the house-inspired or 80's synthpop inspired (SL) factors. That's just what I think I hear! 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
