HookerDotGov 542 Posted November 14, 2024 Share Posted November 14, 2024 Nothing against shorter songs in this case, cause the album itself doesn't feel designed for commercial success given the genre. That said, a 30-min album should not be selling for $40 (vinyl records). I was shocked when I saw the price, lol. That's the cost of *expensive* double-LPs.

Guest Posted November 14, 2024 Share Posted November 14, 2024 Guys these short songs are actually a good thing!! The songs feel much much longer than they are. Thank goodness they are actually so short! disclaimer: I do like quite a few. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
princedeeblebleble 2,216 Posted November 15, 2024 Share Posted November 15, 2024 Its a cute vibe of an album, the production suits his voice, lyrics are nice but overall its like eating a regular chocolate ice cream. It satisifies a basic itch for chocolate ice cream but it's nothing special, the album lacks a unique perspective, it could be written and sung by anyone in the industry.

SimonBaetens 8,871 Posted November 15, 2024 Share Posted November 15, 2024 The songs are beautiful but too similar to me, can’t really differentiate them.

I geeked out when Disease actually had a bridge! Bring back bridges I'm so glad my favs continue to make good songs without pandering to the 5 second attention span of the average TikTok consumer (which is also me btw I waste hours on that godforsaken app) Billie and Finneas better win some awards for HMHAS Anyway.. someone tell me if Shawn alludes to homosexsual behaviours on this one Hide contents Disease doesn’t have a bridge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it is a bridge because it brings everything down and completely changes before bursting into the final bit of the song. Third chorus of Disease you will always be a bridge to me I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
4th Time Around 4,658 Posted November 16, 2024 Share Posted November 16, 2024 Shawn Mendes is the definition of milktoast. A friend of mine played one of his albums on a road trip and I thought it was extremely mid but was polite enough to not say anything Hey, I'm king of the world, you ought to hear my song, you come on measure me, I'm twenty inches long Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 16, 2024 Share Posted November 16, 2024 I quite like it. Listened to it a handful of times. I think the album length is perfect. Any more and I probably wouldn't like it as much. The songs end when they need to and don't overstay their welcome, for me. I am quite into indie/folk/hole in the wall coffee shop music. This is the only album of his that I really like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickMonster98 7,471 Posted November 16, 2024 Share Posted November 16, 2024 It's not THAT bad? added a few songs to my playlist, also "why why why" kinda deserved better Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightadieu 4,531 Posted November 16, 2024 Share Posted November 16, 2024 It’s doesn’t reinvent the genre but that wasn’t his goal. I actually enjoy listening to it and the production, especially on Who I Am, scratches my brain in a good way. You can tell it’s a very analog album.
