(wonder if this'll be a less uncommon opinion among kiss partisans generally)
― lowercase (eric), Friday, 17 May 2019 11:09 (four years ago) link
this > kiss (there are a few mediocre tracks but at least they're mediocre solo tracks and not mediocre tracks with owl city) > emotion

this > kiss
a ranking i can’t resist
coming around to thinking this is better than emotion

After three consecutive listens, I thought this the weakest of her records on beats alone; for me the rhythms go splat

i think this one is pretty great up until and including "Too Much" but then falls off a little. idk where it'll end up in relation to Kiss, which is mostly fantastic except for "Good Time" (which would probably be perfectly tolerable if unspectacular without Owl City's presence), "Beautiful" and "Guitar String/Wedding Ring" (just rather awkward to me).
it doesn't quite reach the same highs as consistently as Emotion did or hold together quite as well either imo but Emotion really captured a certain syncopated sophisti-pop sound perfectly for me on some tracks so i'm fine that she's done something a little different and a bit more playful.

"Feels Right" is the only one I'd ditch, I think.

i love the way "automatically in love" unspools out of "the sound"
― lowercase (eric), Friday, 17 May 2019 12:03 (four years ago) link
"Want You In My Room" is reminding me of "Heart and Soul" by T'Pau. Great track (both of them, actually)
― enochroot, Friday, 17 May 2019 12:13 (four years ago) link
opener is very city pop. which i approve of.
― Hmmmmm (jamiesummerz), Friday, 17 May 2019 12:24 (four years ago) link
CRJ - I'm sorry I ever doubted you. The new album is solid.
― enochroot, Friday, 17 May 2019 12:36 (four years ago) link
that panning shimmer in the chorus of "now that i found you" really sold me on the song
― american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 17 May 2019 12:43 (four years ago) link
Really surprised just how much I love this album. I enjoyed the singles fine, but they did make me lower by expectations a good amount. To say she recorded 200 songs and seemed to really feel the pressure of following up Emotion, she sounds so confident and relaxed throughout this album. Nothing sounds too labored over or anything. The whole thing is such a joy.

Interview on NPR right now is totally weird, treating her super gingerly as if her parents were just killed in a bomb blast, rather than as if she has just written the 10 millionth breakup album but otherwise sounds perfectly fine.

what is “for sure” and is there any more of it

The chorus of "Automatically in Love" is so delicious

Every album I've wanted to be good this year has been bad, so I'm ecstatic about exactly how good this one is.

Tons of filler on this thing - Julian is a terrible album opener and after that I don't like anything beyond track 5. I Want You In My Room is the obvious highlight, but as mentioned above, way too short. Hoping for a 12-inch edit.

This is good, certainly, but thinking I'll like the live show even more. (The crowd last time I saw her in 2016 was off the charts, in the best possible way.)

“happy not knowing” splits the difference between kiss and emotion side b and it’s amazing
― american bradass (BradNelson), Sunday, 19 May 2019 17:02 (four years ago) link
not liking "i'll be your girl", "automatically in love", "real love" etc is completely crazy !
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 19 May 2019 17:06 (four years ago) link
The “he needs me” section in Everything He Needs has got to be a nod to the Shelley Duvall song in Popeye, right?

"julien" isn't "run away with me" but it's one of the highlights here
― ufo, Sunday, 19 May 2019 20:48 (four years ago) link
Julian is great, I’d love an 80s style 6-minute extended remix to DJ with.

I just keep thinking of The Shield actor and irl wife murderer Michael Jace. Listening again and some of the other stuff is growing on me a little. I'll keep trying.
― ☮ (peace, man), Monday, 20 May 2019 10:20 (four years ago) link
Damn, Julien murdered his wife?
I am halfway through my first listen of this album and liking it, though it doesn't seem as sticky as Emotion yet. are the guitars on "Want You in My Room" sampled? sounds like a Chameleons song or something
― Vinnie, Monday, 20 May 2019 11:27 (four years ago) link
I'm liking it better and better. Maybe I was just feeling prickly when I listened to it yesterday.

Too Much is the only one that's really doing it for me.

Something's coming over me, I need to get a hold of you now from Real Love really jumped out at me and for some reason instantly made me think of the Wilco line His fangs have been pulled and I really want to see you tonight from Poor Places. Which is quite a stretch, yes, but Yankee Hotel Foxtrot was one of the most visible albums in that shot of Carly in front of a shelf of records that was floating around the other day.

I had a very similar experience, was lukewarm at first , but then after repeated listens the nuances in the production paired with the lyrics really made me changed my mind. So much so , that I prefer it over EMOTION.

you prefer it over REASON

besotted by the album; "on the bed! on the floor!....i don't care! anymore!" and "and i'll press you to the pages of my HEART!" are both top tier carly moments
― monotony, Tuesday, 21 May 2019 23:18 (four years ago) link
second favourite song on the album after WYIMR is "everything he needs", it's the most glorious thing to use as a soundtrack for a sunny walk
― monotony, Tuesday, 21 May 2019 23:19 (four years ago) link
Favorite moment of the album has to beThe second verse from WYIMR " When no one loves you like they really mean it I got you covered, under covers, Can you feel it?" There is something so endearingly cheesy but affirming about it.
