LadyEnigma 1,065 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 i’ve been looking around but can anyone link me to a possible alternate cover art vinyl or signed bundle without the cassette? thanks in advance if they exist Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson123 36,267 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 For a second album I think it's pretty good but maybe that's because I had like no expectations about it. I've listened to her debut a couple times but the one I keep going back to is STFU but overall I'm not really a Rina super fan. I do know what it's like to have an album you anticipate so much only for it to not be your cup of tea, this happened to me with Solar Power. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsemanche 92,189 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Just finished listening and... yeah this ain't it sadly. I skipped most songs because they just bored/annoyed me and most of it didn't stick. Holy is good, probably my favorite Imagining is cute, not a huge fan of the verses but the chorus is interesting Frankenstein is also a highlight, could have been great if it weren't for the "i don't wanna be a monster" repeated 500 times and had a longer outro instead. but still, very good track, second fav after Holy Send My Love To John is a cute ballad, I don't love it but it's not a skip at least The rest is just skip after skip sadly Soft, soothing, and succulent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oriane 19,994 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Disappointed, I thought she had found her style with SAWAYAMA. I wasn't expecting her to keep doing the exact same thing for every album but she went from something experimental, where she mixed different styles/influences I'd never heard before, to something bland and basic that anyone else could have done. You popped my heart seams, all my bubble dreams Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
secfelix 192 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 I enjoy it. It's not a pop album. I don't think anyone should have gotten that impression over the last few months. I can tell the lyrics are very sentimental. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALGAYDO 30,635 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Holy Your Age Frankenstein Hurricanes all-around a solid album tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantasmas 10,098 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Finally fully listened to the album while I was tipsy a few min ago and all I can say is this is absolutely meant to be an album meant to heal Rina and her friends which is why some of u ungrateful homos won’t accept it into ur hearts because u weren’t a part of their story or can’t relate anyway, STAN RINA I cant wait to see her live in concert soon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiritBunny 3,478 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 The most forgettable album i've heard in a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magneto 13,303 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 OMG, I really like this! Holy slaps so hard! Her debut was amazing, but this feels more accessible and I'm loving the throwback vibes. Also: for the people saying the album isn't experimental enough. What were you expecting based on the singles she put out? Free my mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quasi 10,867 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 I am absolutely shocked at some of the reviews in this thread. I loved this album start to finish. The production was heavy, unique, and pulsing, like it felt each song had its own distinct personality and everything worked together as a whole even though so many genres were being addressed. The lyrics felt insanely personal and honest, you can tell she put every piece of her heart into every line. Send My Love To John sent me into a full on breakdown in front of my breakfast for like ten minutes. If I could describe this album to anyone, the one word I would use to describe it is “important”. That idea of caring for our inner child and reconciling with the traumas in our past is something we can all benefit from, and I’ve never heard it told in such a cohesive musical story like Hold the Girl. F*ck it’s so good, and I think everyone will realize it eventually, regardless of what your opinion of it now is. I don't understand pineapples, so I don't eat bananas.

I hope it does really well - Rina delivered and she deserves the success Mte The only critic that really counts is each person individually. What matters is whether or not it connects to that person. If there was a megarate of the album, I would give most of the songs a 10. That's just how the album hits me personally. I live outside the space time continuum.

I feel like this will be a grower. Same. But some of the other songs are such bops they give Hold The Girl strong competition. I can't decide now. Several 10s.

KevinLeto 325 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 I love this album as a whole, the only songs that I’m not really feeling yet are Holy and Your Age, will probably be having this album on repeat for the next week I'm the spirit of my hair, it's all the glory that I bare Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
