Agreed, also another overrated album

"worst was when "Galina" had me in a /groove/ only for "Hardware Software" to abruptly ruin my whole week"
lmaoooo so true, obvs agree with everything you said, that weird pacing issue was probably the biggest problem of the album (i shoulda emphasized that more whatever)

I've only listened to the album once through Galina so far, the comments got me anxious about the next track

I'm weird I guess because I prefer Hardware Software to Galina.

I thought Girl with No Smile (best track), Weird World, John and Jonathan, & Saddest Smile were fine.
Off with Her Tits, Hardware Software and Staying Power actively grating.
The rest mediocre.

Not alone there. Galina is kinda dull tbh

I feel like I've been asking for post-punk-pop for a long time, and now it's finally here, it's just like. Okay.

Lots of post-punk in the 80s was pretty poppy, yes (e.g. Lovesong). I suppose I mean a pop artist that made pop music, but taking from the darker/gother side of 80s music, instead of the synthy/dancey side.
(Side note, it is interesting that disco revival/nu-disco pop is referred to in an 80s context, when disco music was mostly dying by then (barring European styles like italo-disco that you can find here). I believe this is because Disco revival/nu-disco pop is actually more downstream from synthwave imo; and is sonically pretty far removed from electro-disco of the late 70s)

I think the issue with what you are looking for is how unmarketable it would be. Quite literally pop for people who don't like pop. I'd be down to hear it, but pop where the main idea is writing dark/depressing songs is going to have a very limited reach. Synthwave is so rampant because it is pretty easy to market and fulfills the requirement of upbeat, lighthearted fare, even when the lyric subject matter is dark.

Yes, I never expected anyone to follow through with what I was asking for. Cool of Allie to be inspired by those sounds enough to make music like it.
