holy scheisse

I got into it in the second half more so than the first. Oh well was the first song that caught my attention. Freak had such beautiful verses and a bridge but the chorus was a lil not what I was wanting- still enjoyed it. Bad thing was my fav by far - that spooky Cali beach rock vibe was so fun! All in all she has a very scorned, haunted, horny sort of mood on this album that’s strange and interesting.
 

I liked it!

I was pleasantly surprised by this. I was one of the few who quite liked the lead single which was unusual for me, so I had a feeling about this one. The opening of Kiss Me really floored me, this is one of her most gorgeous tracks. And I felt that the other ones were sweet, airy, gentle and all-round very pleasant on the ear. Another album with no grand display of vocals, though. I don't know if she's doing it to protect her voice now or if it's just her preferred style. Not seeing why this was experimental for her as some are saying because it sounds like the style she's done for quite a while now but I can get behind how there's not lots of obvious chart fodder here. The lyrics were better than what she usually puts out and while the situation of the theme is a bit eyebrow raising (it's obviously all about Ethan followed by Ricky which suggest that she was already back with him for quite some time to write all this and was there some overlap?), I can accept the art for what it is as opposed to who's making it. My ultimate faves were Kiss Me, Hate That I Made You Love Me, Petal, Big Feelings, Like I Do and Never Get Over Me.

It's ironic that this is the album that a lot of critics are more meh about when they've been loving her work for so long now and I've been the one that's been meh. But I feel that this is her best album since Dangerous Woman, which I've been eagerly waiting for her to achieve. Clearly, whenever she makes an album about Ricky, she's onto something!

Listening now....this is a strange album. I feel like it's going for a dull constant throbbing melancholy aching for release but it just never goes anywhere, and comes off as unsatisfying

I’m sorry but this needs to be talked about. First, for Ariana’s sake and the hope that her family or staff finally feels the pressure to intervene. And second, to let impressionable young girls know this is not healthy or something to aspire to…

No, it doesn’t need to be talked about whenever Ari is mentionned. It’s been 24/7 for an entire year, it’s completely useless, mean and if someone has access to Ari images on the internet, then they also have access to education and are aware of what’s good for them or not.

I've always thought Ariana has an insane voice and I like her popular songs but I've never felt the urge to listen to her full albums.

I might start... I've been checking Madonna's albums out lately :neyde: music 🎵 makes the people 👫 come together 💦 yeah :neyde:

There are zero pop bops on this album. That is a big reason for the backlash she is receiving

Cute minimalistic album, kinda like it and love that it’s this short because a long album with this sound just drags the experience. Better than Positions but Eternal Sunshine is still her best. 

I need to give it more listens because honestly I don’t remember any of it but Freak was kind of a standout, potential next single.
