BleepBloop 10,191 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Well it's not just Pitchfork. Reviews are bad all across the board and I can see why Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsemanche 87,242 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 None of the snippets I heard sounded interesting to me so I'm not really surprised. It's really strange how he can produce so well for Billie but his own tracks are always so meh. Soft, soothing, and succulent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylucifer 4,792 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I actually quite enjoyed the album however the subject matter was kinda all over the place, in one song he's talking about the planet and the next his girlfriend and back to the state of the world, usually this wouldn't bother me but it was really disjointed 1989 (TV) is out NOW Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSlash 14,539 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I really enjoyed the album and it has actually no skips for me. But I agree that he's really playing safe with all of his music compared to Billie and his other collaborations. Maybe he holds back for his own music to not get as famous as a singer as Billie does, bc I remember him saying once that Billie's level of fame is scary to him Ew, David!

Billie has so much personality and unique character that when her and Finneas create something, the projects have strong legs to stand on. Finneas is very talented, but I don’t think he has that forward-facing star factor like Billie. Been a cuff touple, a puff bupple, a tough couple of years.
