it's fine/good-not-great, which may be his limit artistically. not a terrible place to be tho and at least his videos are ~provocative~
― dyl, Friday, 23 July 2021 15:07 (two years ago) link
“Montero” was great tho, this is just very generic and well passé production-wise (and I never liked this sound to begin with)
― tean mean poleand cheaseang theas means hamseak feasts (breastcrawl), Friday, 23 July 2021 16:39 (two years ago) link
but yes, keep those vids coming (this one is like his “Telephone”, no?)

i rode for "montero" it was pretty catchy. this song is grim honestly, breastcrawl otm
― Linda and Jodie Rocco (map), Friday, 23 July 2021 16:43 (two years ago) link
I don’t really like his music at all…
― xheugy eddy (D-40), Friday, 23 July 2021 17:03 (two years ago) link
it is a step down from "montero" yeah. ironically that one had a lower memeable lyric quotient but was probably better for it. he should save the screengrababble memey stuff for the videos honestly
i think i misheard "i ain't lost since i began" as "i ain't lost since i been gay" which is too bad as the latter would be better

creating this album has been therapy for me. i’ve learned to let go of trying to control people’s perception of who i am, what i can do, and where i will be. i’ve realized the only opinion of me that really matters is my own.MY DEBUT ALBUM“MONTERO” 🦋💕IS YOURSSEPTEMBER 17th pic.twitter.com/VBFKU70ntj— nope 👶🏾 (@LilNasX) August 26, 2021

no idea if this'll actually be a good record or not, but he's done a good job in building up hype for the album. it's nice to have an event album come out that actually feels exciting

― a gentle push against my Wonder Bread face (DJP), Thursday, 26 August 2021 22:18 (two years ago) link
just now catching up on this guy, this thread, and "Old Town Road." seems pretty awesome all around. my one contribution is that "Panini" to me seems to have a LOT more to do with "Your Smiling Face" by James Taylor than "In Bloom." which is cool imo.
― I Am Fribbulus (Xax) (Doctor Casino), Thursday, 26 August 2021 22:36 (two years ago) link
I still think most of his music is hot garbage but I also want him to be wildly successful
― a gentle push against my Wonder Bread face (DJP), Thursday, 26 August 2021 23:35 (two years ago) link
the correct opinion
― J0rdan S., Friday, 27 August 2021 00:25 (two years ago) link
Basically artists like him need to exist and excel and I’m happy to see it happening for him. (And people I know love him and this makes them happy too. So it’s cool. Also the “Olde Town Road” video was aces in a camp surrealist way I appreciated.)
― Legalize Suburban Benches (Raymond Cummings), Friday, 27 August 2021 00:40 (two years ago) link
yeah he is an excellent popstar except for the music, if he was famous when I was 15 years old he would probably have been a massive icon for me

so has anyone listened to his album or are we just going to listen to it eventually through tweets, videos, and memes
― Murgatroid, Friday, 17 September 2021 17:16 (two years ago) link
haven't listened yet (will do so after work) but uh it's got a 90 on metacritic so far??? only 7 reviews in but still

― josh az (2011nostalgia), Friday, 17 September 2021 18:39 (two years ago) link
video brought back sad memories :( but it's nice that he is putting this stuff front and center, being super casual about it and actually being seen as rly cool for it
― dyl, Saturday, 18 September 2021 01:01 (two years ago) link
ok on first impression this album's a lot darker than his meme-filled antics would suggest. it's also quite good
― josh az (2011nostalgia), Saturday, 18 September 2021 04:01 (two years ago) link
are ppl itt still lukewarm on ‘montero’ (the song)? i had a similar initial reaction but it’s really grown on me to the point it’s now prob one of my fav singles of the year. ‘that’s what i want’ otoh way more immediate. feels like it’ll be a big hit. love the chorus
― flopson, Saturday, 18 September 2021 19:34 (two years ago) link
I vastly preferred, the first thing he's done that registered as music first.
This has a few slinky jams. I'm glad M@ura's review pointed out the abundant use of guitars.

it's ok. i think he's getting better as a singer maybe. i'm still not sure if it's refreshing or disappointing that he's like an above-average karoake singer.
― Linda and Jodie Rocco (map), Tuesday, 21 September 2021 18:43 (two years ago) link
That's what I concluded too.

I have more of an issue with the slow buildup of the backing band than I do with his performance; it's not like he's this amazing vocal or even idiosyncratic talent you want to hear isolated, let the band support him plz
― talkin' about his flat tire (DJP), Tuesday, 21 September 2021 19:24 (two years ago) link
lol that was supposed to read "amazing or even idiosyncratic vocal talent", I would like to help fund an edit button

really lackluster jolene there. i suppose i should try the new album.
― When Young Sheldon began to rap (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 23 September 2021 20:23 (two years ago) link
No one should be allowed to cover "Jolene" anymore. It's reached the status of "Hallelujah" or "Heroes" - it's completely wrung out.

My 7-year-old sang most of Old Town Road in the car last week, no idea how/where he learned the lyrics.
