SimonBaetens 8,716 Posted March 10, 2024 Share Posted March 10, 2024 Every song I've heard so far is nice but uneventful. I understand the desire to make understated pop, but Ariana's recent music just lacks life and excitement to me. when you're lonely, I'll be lonely too / https://www.last.fm/user/SimonBaetens Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson123 38,581 Posted March 10, 2024 Share Posted March 10, 2024 Oh man Supernatural with Troye is so much better. Apparently it's exclusive to her website so I had to find it on that other website. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allim200 36 Posted March 11, 2024 Share Posted March 11, 2024 Honestly absolutely love this whole album. Slay Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrawberryBlond 14,897 Posted March 11, 2024 Share Posted March 11, 2024 It's not quite what I expected, very sedate and plain. Based on the lead, I think a lot of people were expecting a bouncy, happy vibe. I can see why she released WCBF as the second single as it's the only one other than the lead that say 'hit' to me. I see that Bye is gaining a lot of traction on Spotify worldwide but we've found that doesn't mean the public will actually make it a hit if it becomes official. The best songs are just about ok. And that's really not good enough after just under 4 years since her last album. Don't know why critics are lauding it (unless its been paid for). Those same critics were the ones who didn't like it when she stopped using her range in favour of mainstream pop sounds now they like it when she keeps it simple. I just can't get over how she's so brazenly making songs about this guy she had a affair with, no reference to his wife or her being guilty for this and the critics don't care about it either. And if her husband really did cheat on her, she needs to say it officially, instead of subtely referring to it in lyrics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smother Em Eh 7,135 Posted March 11, 2024 Share Posted March 11, 2024 Listened to it for the first time last night and it isn’t bad. A lot of songs may sound the same but it’s a mature version of her previous sound and her vocals sound crispy and mature. Her enunciation has improved drastically! I love the boy is mine, supernatural, yes, and? & we can’t be friends! Get Applause & G.U.Y to 1B views! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monstermilo 4,633 Posted March 12, 2024 Share Posted March 12, 2024 this is her best album to date, and one of the best albums released in the last few years, anyone who says otherwise is a hater - its literally a no skip album except for the last song..........

Monstermilo 4,633 Posted March 12, 2024 Share Posted March 12, 2024 anyone that dislikes this album doesnt like good pop music this album is way better after the second or third full listen - yall need to stop judging albums based solely on the first listen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson123 38,581 Posted March 12, 2024 Share Posted March 12, 2024 After a couple listens the songs are finally starting to sound like their own to me. The first and second listen I felt like it was quite same-ish like Positions which flows like this one long song but yeah it is a grower. We Can't Be Friends is easily Top 10 Ariana songs for me, the music video moved me and even if it sounds like Dancing On My Own, I like it a lot.

Guest Posted March 12, 2024 Share Posted March 12, 2024 I've been listening to eternal sunshine a lot today and its gone from a 6/10 to a 8/10 like I thought it would. Its my favorite album she's released by far. 12 minutes ago, Anderson123 said: The first and second listen I felt like it was quite same-ish like Positions which flows like this one long song but yeah it is a grower. I try to disregard that blending into each other thing when I listen to an album that is very sonically cohesive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bim 465 Posted March 12, 2024 Share Posted March 12, 2024 This album is really growing on me. There is something incredibly tender to it that feels so soft and powerful at the same time. It puts the rest of her albums into a new light for me too. Almost like the playfulness of them and how she went about life at the time is now sinking in and she’s telling us how much her heart has actually been through. Energetically it’s showing growth and maturity and introspection and self awareness. Sonically, it feels the same. Vocals are stunning and gentle and tell such a story. Production is tight and crisp. I appreciate Gaga for a similar reason to this, Ari has a serious vocal range, so the decision to utilize it in the way she did in this album and be vulnerable is an intentional choice. I find it perfect, especially considering the eternal sunshine theme resonating throughout. Proud of her and everyone involved. This album a work of art and a labor of love.

Monstermilo 4,633 Posted March 12, 2024 Share Posted March 12, 2024 i think ariana has grown into the artist shes always tried to be. this album blends all of her past sounds all while being a cohesive body for work. i appreciate that she does go off on certain parts with her voice, but for the most part practices restraint in her vocal delivery. the production is top tier, the lyrics are meaningful and personal and she has so many writing credits on this album. my only complaint is that i wish we ended with a more solid track, i feel like ordinary things is such a throwaway even tho i like some parts of it. the fact that she created this body of work in 90 days is mind blowing to me.
