My top 5 for the 🇵🇹 Eurovision Submission:
1. Responso à Mulher - A CANTADEIRA [9/10]
2. Deslocado - NAPA [8.5/10]
3. Calafrio - Jéssica Pina [7.5/10]
4. Lisboa - Capital da Bulgária [7.5/10] (3. & 4. could interchange positions)
5. Peculiar - ADAMASTOR [7/10]
Any of these 5 could represent Portugal quite well on ESC
Really like the direction it tried to go for, but there's moments where the narrative gets too real to the point of Marshall looking to really mean his 'Shady' side. Still, way overhated, the singles are incredible and there's some really interesting tracks of this personality evolution clash on 'Renaissance'/'Habits'/'Trouble' and the incredible 'Guilty Conscience 2', as well some touching tracks like the outro 'Somebody Save ... read more
Ok...I wasn't expecting to like this album to the point of adding almost all its tracks to my main playlist. Great stuff, already knew Drown and Throne, but all the other tracks are simply on the same level
Honestly, the best 'obligatory love song' they've released, I still haven't heard the album's version nor the concert where they played that (only Friday), but it felt like more than a love song: it's like they're rebelling their concerns about the musical industry on their quickness to judge certain songs, that might take a lot of effort and soul for the artists, but that end up being brutally labeled as 'misses' and go to the oblivion.
The biggest irony here is that this phenomenon is ... read more
A plethora of unique collabs show what should be the way for the Damon and Jamie's virtual band to continue to thrive on the biggest stage
Glycerine is a massively mainstream-underrated hit, but, I mean, the whole album and band are so underrated as well
It's definitely a more mainstream Bárbara, but still has some glimpses of her past work that keep the remnants of her originality as a portuguese pop singer. Still, I fell it's only going downhill from here as she's going to match the other 5000 portuguese pop singer that sing the same songs with rearranged verses and words...
If she's happy with that, it's okay: I wish her the very best. I'm just desolate on watching one of the few portuguese pop singers that actually wanted to do ... read more
It has to be honored the capability Waterparks possess on consistently improving with each subsequent release. This album for me is the first consistently awesome album they've made: finally managing to put most of the LP-exclusive songs on the level of the singles

"Great review, it resumed my thoughts and kinda explained why I didn't liked them as much as the majority of the people here 😅"
On Boards of Canada - Music Has the Right to Children
"@quadkanix I get that music is subjective, but one that wants to be able to grade it still searches for elements or aspects in itself and judges it by their own interpretation. The thing that intrigues me about IDM is that I can't really find aspects to know if a certain song is good/bad, but probably it must be just straight vibes"

"I absolutely detest this website. I have never understood the appeal from this band. We have a grown man writing a song about a piece of toast being eaten on a bed and people are calling this album a masterpiece. The songs are an absolute babble fest. Gooch project"
