Yeah, that was a nice surprise.
I was expecting to hate the last two songs based on the reaction on Popjustice and RYM, but I kind of love them. Great album.
― kitchen person, Monday, 23 March 2020 19:25 (four years ago) link
such a strong record. I get the feeling some people might have with the last two songs but, personally, I have no problems with them.
― Nourry, Monday, 23 March 2020 21:08 (four years ago) link
on the one hand I really want to listen to the leak immediately; on the other hand I really don't want to make Dua Lipa cry

I guess this will be her E•MO•TION huh?
What’s the name of the song with a White Town sample? dying to hear this one.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Tuesday, 24 March 2020 18:32 (four years ago) link
Is the MME good again? ;)
― Chewshabadoo, Tuesday, 24 March 2020 18:48 (four years ago) link
(thanks phone)
only thing i don't really care for on this is "good in bed", pretty solid otherwise and indeed very early 00s uk pop throughout. "cool" is especially wonderful

"love again"
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 24 March 2020 21:52 (four years ago) link
Love Again should be the next single
― kitchen person, Tuesday, 24 March 2020 22:37 (four years ago) link
it is!
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 24 March 2020 22:38 (four years ago) link
Oh, I thought it was going to be Break My Heart but maybe that's just a promo/buzz single. I get so confused. Either would work, but Love Again seems like the most obvious hit on the album.
― kitchen person, Tuesday, 24 March 2020 22:44 (four years ago) link
lol sorry i got their titles mixed up, you're right kitchen person

This album is fucking relentless. And "Break My Heart" is a great covid-19 anthem (I wonder if this is why it was chosen as the next single).
― Tim F, Thursday, 26 March 2020 21:28 (four years ago) link
Chorus reminds me of Shakedown Street
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 26 March 2020 22:31 (four years ago) link
So, this is pretty much the album of the year until the Jessie Ware one comes out right?

hi

the "need you tonight" interpolation in "break my heart" is really bugging me, it doesn't quite work with the rest of the song
video rules though
― ufo, Friday, 27 March 2020 00:07 (four years ago) link
Once first listen, loving « Break my Heart »(indeed it’s zeitgeisty !) and the fabulous-kinky-obvious summer hit « Good in Bed » !

THE NEED YOU TONIGHT SAMPLE DKGKTKEKKDJFJF
― self-clowning oven (Murgatroid), Friday, 27 March 2020 05:38 (four years ago) link
Oh it’s actually “need you tonight” not “shakedown street”!
“Good in Bed” sounds like Lilly Allen to me, not sure I care about it.
Non-single tracks that I like on first listen: “cool”, “love again”
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 27 March 2020 06:40 (four years ago) link
This album is *Cars voice* just what I needed.
I dig Good in Bed. Fun bop.

very early 00s uk pop throughout.
This ain't the early 00s. But why does it feel so good?
― Matt DC, Friday, 27 March 2020 12:59 (four years ago) link
Damn, I haven’t seen the ILX hivemind so stoked for an album since Random Access Memories.
― Mr. Snrub, Friday, 27 March 2020 20:29 (four years ago) link
We've come too far.
― TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 27 March 2020 20:41 (four years ago) link
It's good; it reminds me of Selena Gomez's January album. I like pop stars releasing these tight albums.

haven't heard a note of this but I'm sure it's better than that turd
― COVID and the Gang (jim in vancouver), Friday, 27 March 2020 20:43 (four years ago) link
It is a lot better than RAM.
It's a good album but it's kind of funny to me that "Katy Perry using Selena Gomez's vocal technique" is apparently the ILX sweet spot.
― DJP, Friday, 27 March 2020 20:48 (four years ago) link
I’m holding my hype for the Jessie Ware album.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 27 March 2020 23:06 (four years ago) link
fwiw I don’t hear selena gomez in this at all
― monotony, Saturday, 28 March 2020 01:32 (four years ago) link
This is good but patchier than I'd expect given how concise it is tbh
― brechtian social distancing (Simon H.), Saturday, 28 March 2020 01:46 (four years ago) link
I don't get patchy at all. It's pretty much wall to wall bangers
― groovypanda, Saturday, 28 March 2020 13:04 (four years ago) link
Katy Perry and Dua Lipa don't sound remotely alike, not least because Dua Lipa doesn't do that big honking thing that sounds like she's constantly mugging to camera.
― Matt DC, Saturday, 28 March 2020 13:07 (four years ago) link
let me be the one to mention “Pretty Please”. nothing’s blowing me away, but the album sounds pretty good on first listen, “Boys Will Be Boys” excepted.
― No mean feat. DaBaby (breastcrawl), Saturday, 28 March 2020 14:17 (four years ago) link
I am totally hearing the Katy Perry thing now (unfortunately, thanks DJP!), and it was a qualified comparison to begin with.
― No mean feat. DaBaby (breastcrawl), Saturday, 28 March 2020 14:18 (four years ago) link
I really want to connect with this album -- spiritually, it's absolutely up my alley -- but something's not sticking and idk what it is :(
― winters (josh), Sunday, 29 March 2020 00:08 (four years ago) link
and that's okay!
― winters (josh), Sunday, 29 March 2020 00:09 (four years ago) link
hi, josh!
― TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 29 March 2020 00:18 (four years ago) link
Her singing is competent, but lacking in personality (she sounds bored). The music is mostly polite, generic dance-pop. The White Town sample is distracting, as samples of well-known songs can be. I like what “Break My Heart” does with the INXS melody.
― morrisp, Sunday, 29 March 2020 00:46 (four years ago) link
well, the White Town sucked too
― TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 29 March 2020 00:48 (four years ago) link
the white town sample is way less distracting than the inxs one
― ufo, Sunday, 29 March 2020 00:56 (four years ago) link
"Boys Will Be Boys" reminds me of this recent song (but I like this one better):

Went for walk in the park the other night that turned into a disco stepping affair to the beat/tune of this album. “Break My Heart” and “Pretty Please” are on a par with the two big singles for me, but “Levitating” and “Hallucinate”, enjoyable as they are, had me restless for some Fever-era Kylie. I settled on a loop of the full non-edited “Groovejet”. iow, mixed results (but man did it feel good to be outside again - shame it’s so cold right now)
― No mean feat. DaBaby (breastcrawl), Wednesday, 1 April 2020 20:38 (four years ago) link
I have to admit I'm thoroughly enjoying both sample-heavy cuts. Imho "Love Again" tops "Break My Heart"; it's simply a better song. On the other hand, "Break My Heart", really does it for me with the... cleverness? i'm not sure that's the word but it's the best I can think about. Any way, it's clever in the way it integrates the INXS riff, and it's so sticky.
But the two songs that I keep hearing in my mind when I'm not actually listening to the album are "Hallucinate" and "Cool". I think those two will end up being my favorite cuts. "Hallucinate" in particular is totally relentless and reminded me of "Fever" too.

I'm also hearing "patchy" but not in a bad way. The payoffs are big.
