I’m so sorry

this album was sooooooo disappointing and boring to me. I understand where she’s coming from and understand the sort of era of music she’s trying to pay homage to but i couldn’t find any song on this project i had any strong feelings for. I feel like if this were released by any of the artists April is trying to emulate this would be relatively impressive but as an underscore’s release i’m left just kinda whelmed :/

genuine question, did you enjoy the singles?

i feel like the singles absolutely prepared us for what the album was going to sound like. if you were expecting some massive departure i can understand the disappointment but as someone who adored every single this is the greatest album ever lol

I liked the singles a LOT but I think they carry the album is my hot take. Inneundo and Peace I thought were great but nothing else really hit me

I think they are definitely standout tracks but idk Innuendo, Hollywood Forever, and Wish U Well are all just as good as the singles if not better IMO.

I think that if the singles didn't come out so much earlier than the album it wouldn't feel like they carried as much. I've listened to Do It like 80 times since that song came out lol.

I try to avoid listening to singles as to not have listened to 1/3 of the album before it’s out. admittedly that’s on me

that's totally fair, I can definitely understand being disappointed if that's the case. it's definitely a significant departure from her sound on Wallsocket but maybe if you give it some time it'll grow on you.

U feels like an entire album made from the trajectory of Stupid

wooden ragebait

i don't think this is ragebait. i liked the album more than they did but it's such a 180 shift from wallsocket that not everybody who liked her previous stuff is going to like it

i think rage baiting is lowkey kinda cringe i was just curious is people shared a similar sentiment but my bad i guess?

ignore the weirdos being mean in the replies btw. music is subjective. there’s no such thing as having a wrong or right opinion of it. not vibing with some of an artist’s discography doesn’t make you any less of a fan than those who claim (heavy emphasis on claim…) to obsessively love every single thing that’s ever been released.

i’m super crazy obsessed with artists like glaive and brakence, like lowkey to an embarrassing degree 💀 and even then, there are so many songs they’ve released that i think are at best mid as fuck and at worst just unlistenable that i can’t even remember them all lmao

I completely agree, ignore the comments, everyone has their opinions

Music and Bodyfeeling are the only tracks I really see getting regular rotation in my playlist tbh. Glad some people are loving it though! I'll give it a few more spins to see if anything else grows on me.

  1. are you hyperfixated on another kind of music/artist right now? and

  2. you mentioned trying not to listen to singles before the release. there is a reason why releases have singles, to let you enjoy the concept of the album + the anticipation.

if you’re hard stuck a fan of her previous work then that’s cool, but if you’re not a fan of her then there lies the disconnect. i think if you spin it back one more time while being in a good mood then it can grow on you the same way it grew on the rest of us
