“Liability” still sounds like Babby’s First Piano Ballad to me too

I'm a sucker for strings and an "artsy" vibe, even if it's contrived. This is so that, to a tee, whereas PH kind of gets lost in midtempo glitch beats.
robertsona how do you feel about hard feelings/loveless, the louvre, and liability? those along with green light are probably my favorites...
edit: nvm answered my question about liability, lol

“Loveless” is great too—tho less of a fan of “hard feelings”—and I like “the louvre”. That about covers it for stuff I like. Maaaaybe “supercut”

yeah supercut and perfect places are next on my list
writer in the dark is an impressive vocal display but it doesn't have much replay value and is a bit too theatrical for its own good

“PErfect Places” is worse “Team” I think. “Writer in the dark” too pastichey or something, and I don’t find it interesting. “Liability reprise” is good too

I might have trouble grasping how some of the “pretensions”/imperfections build up in power—I’ve barely listened to this all the way thru but have heard individual songs a lot. So I’ll give it a chance in that context. Although I think this album is not bad by any stretch of the imagination

I think I get that but I can’t avoid the sense that “ribs” would be the best thing here easily—and would fit so well, imho!—if it were included etc
Maybe I just want to talk about “ribs” *hops over to PH thread*

I think an album like this (mainstream, teen-written, pop) is bound to inherently possess certain pretensions and imperfections. Like, it's a Lorde album. But it's incredibly mature at the same time and "a swan song for the teenage years" is the perfect descriptor. This covers the ultimate highs as well as the bleak and heartbreaking realizations about both love and the world, often within a couple breaths of each other. Ella described the album as "fluorescent", which is just so accurate - you have these experiences that everyone goes through, especially while young, and dramatizes them to the extreme. Isn't that really what we all do, in our heads, about our own lives? That's what she wrote "Supercut" about - we magnify certain experiences that mean the most to us.

just wanna drop into this thread (which was rolling along nicely on page 50, nice work team) to say that I saw her live a few weeks ago and she is a god damn revelation. What a great performer. It was my first time being on the floor for a stadium show and I felt 17. Hell I felt 12.
