"Not My Responsibility" just feels like a hat on a hat, I think it originated as a tour interlude and it made sense then before she had put out some singles/done the vogue photoshoot. But here it just comes of as "let me take the themes of these songs that I have been exploring with nuance and tact and lay them out explicitly in case you're too stupid to realize"

Yh agreed. Still a salient reminder of how bullshit that particular brand of hostile reception was, but v much of the same mind as you (other than that the rest of the album's nuance and tact doesn't go *that* much deeper)

Absolutely and incomprehensibly mid. It's funny how Billie Ellish has completely been cast aside by the same music executives that forced her down everyone's throats last year. If you think this album is more than a 4/10 you're either a 13 year old girl with trash music taste or you're a 35 year old virgin coomer that browses /r/BillieEllishGW. This is based and a fact.

This is super bloated. Could easily cut 4 tracks off here, it would benefit hugely from tightening up. A redacted tracklisting I have created:



Therefore I Am

NDA

Your Power

my future

Goldwing

Lost Cause

Oxytocin

Halley's Comet

Not My Responsibility

OverHeated

Happier Than Ever

Getting Older

Eh it's not nearly as bloated as her last. I think the pacing here is good as is

Also you cut Billie Bossa Nova so your tracklist is declared void

NDA poops on that one, totally unneeded track. Just Billie taking a random bossa nova detour, filler song.

The snapping on that song makes my ears feel weird.

Also why put NDA behind Therefore I Am when it transitions cleanly into the other.
I like creating alternative listening orders but that one would bother me.
