"new americana is a garbage song"



No, it's not. Shirley Manson had nothing to do with it.

She's just so vapid. She's not exciting, everything she's doing has been done ten times before more successfully and by better artists. She shows promise on Ghost and Colors but she doesn't seem like she has a clear idea of her own sound and it shows in how forgettable most of this is.



And yeah Lorde is a hundred times better

Comparing her to Lorde is hogwash tbh.

"she doesn't seem like she has a clear idea of her own sound'

She's a 20 year old on her debut LP. Damn these youngsters; they should be fully formed from the get-go, so they have no room for improvement and can crash & burn.



"Comparing her to Lorde is hogwash tbh".

Quality-wise, maybe. But they share a few characteristics that can make a comparison valid... Well, at least not "hogwash".



Seriously, calm down fellas. It's called getting your foot in the door.

For some reason, I really like 'Drive'.

Drive sounds eerie, Ghost also gets the blood pumping. Glad someone else enjoys this and is vocal about it :}}}

Ghost and Colors are very good and show she has talent, but every other track here fells so lazy and predictable.

Well obviously I don't mean it that way, but here she's just so bland and cliché that she has no identity. She clearly does have talent, but I don't think it's unfair to criticise her for a lack of direction or personal style.

I understand them as we are the new generation, the generation raised on "biggie and nirvana" and high on legal marijuana.. I mean isn't about our generation being the best or something?

I mean she does go out of her way to criticize the materialism and casual use of recreational drugs so it seems more like a critique rather than an appraisal

People should just stop overreacting about this album. At best it's an enjoyable catchy listen and at worst a slightly annoying album that appeals to teenagers, nothing more nothing less, can we move on now

He said New Americana was a Garbage song. Shirley Manson is the lead singer of Garbage. It was a joke.
