La Roux sings over 10 second loops for 40 minutes.
the production is the biggest problem here, each sound is crafted carefully, but they're arranged in the most basic and tedious way possible thorough the entire album, barely any drum fills, chord progression changes. barely anything gets developed on each song, it feels like 2-3 variations of the same music loop for each song.
it's Galantis so you probably already know what to expect
this album does sound VERY dated tho, it's in the place EDM was around 2015 with almost non existent gospel nods here and there.
I get that this is not music you're supposed to overthink and just have fun listening to but there's so little that makes any song remotely memorable. its very safe and formulaic music you've already heard
Eminem can't accept that Revival was bad and now is convinced he'll convince you with this album with stellar lyricism like “Where’s Osama Bin, I’ve been laden lately” and "I'm still as fly as your zipper"
the orchestral version is miles better than they official
it honestly highlights the qualities of the song better than the more safe production on streaming services
it's not terrible but the vapid instrumentation together with plenty of dull moments vocal wise make this very unexciting
it's like they put together the vocals and the instrumental of two different songs that were never supposed to meet
for it's reputation it's a very safe and formulaic album it even becomes a very tedious listen because of that.
Green day has always found a spark of genius while writing their songs to then milk those ideas dry till they have lost their original appeal and songs like Holiday, Wake Me Up When September ends, Jesus of suburbia, etc. are a clear examples of that.
Although EXO delivers in performance the songwriting is particularly stale and troubling in a chunk of these songs, I find myself enjoying sections of these songs and then, the song goes somewhere it really shouldn't, the first 3 songs are the most guilty of this.
Songs like Groove have a nice flow but the hooks are so underdeveloped it's hard to enjoy them, when Groove gets to the flute solo it just highlights how skeletal and basic the chorus line is without the nice vocal performances ... read more
despite the short time Good Faith manages to be more emotional and daring than it's predecessor.
this time Madeon brings an eclectic mix of live instrumentation, gospel singing to his characteristic production style
the result is less sanitized than his lass LP and at points Madeon comes of as more vulnerable and sincere in his lyrics
the way he processes his vocals is certainly not for everyone, Madeon relies on formant shifting as much as daft punk relies on vocoders and it's used with ... read more
it just pales in comparison with her last album
the production is just too bland and given the meaning behind some of this songs the result comes off as tame
I'm converting to Buddhism now
EDIT: a few hours of emergency mastering were not going to do miracles but this just sounds so rough just like TLOP when it was first released
what kanye offers here is a series of hymns with some of his corniest lines and no signs of cohesiveness
Chick-Fil-A on sunday/10
This feels like a fusion between TOOTIME and Petrichor but the UK garage nods kinda keep it in a new direction, not super excited with this single after people but it ain't bad at all.
basically a more simplified and popified version of the scenario already stated on Lose You To Love Me
I like the production but this seems unnecessary
this doesn't go anywhere interesting nor memorable
and the track is too over-produced for it's own good
guess Chris felt he didn't said bitches and hoes enough on the original version
lowkey sounds like it could be the back music of a flash game in the early 2000's
it becomes redundant and predictable pretty fast
