Pretty stellar song imo

I`ll pass

song is actually really good, big ups

great track

Okay yeah that was great

Really good. Finneas' production complements her voice so well.

Best single so far

First track I've heard from her but I can dig it. What's a good starting point?

I really hope the new album is more like this.

Boring af.

Excellent production and her unique voice carry what must be one of the blandest songs I've heard recently.

She’s 18 and already has the real life experience to write a song about an abusive rapper ex-boyfriend? Kids grow up so quick these days

"As of 2020, Eilish lives with her parents " according to wiki
According to Eilish, the song is "about many different situations that we've all either witnessed or experienced. I hope I can inspire change. Try not to abuse your power."
So basically it is about her parents making her go to bed early or some shit

some of y'all sound real fucking dumb

I cant stand how much reverb is added to her voice. Otherwise the song is fine.

wow this is GREAT

18 years old and doing more than any of us will ever do. Keep trashing a teenager if that makes you feel better about yourself.
Fantastic track. One of her best songs and can’t wait for the album.

for all you know we are younger than her, other than that, party on Garth!

Over/under 50% a sex tape drops at some point in this chicks career

pass

“some of y'all sound real fucking dumb” [2]

Party on, Lasseg!

"She’s 18 and already has the real life experience to write a song about an abusive rapper ex-boyfriend? Kids grow up so quick these days"

Yeah outside of the rapper thing I think most people have been in an abusive relationship by that point in their life

damn now i want to rewatch waynes world

What an awful thread lmao

There are some cool aspects of Billie’s sound and aesthetic but I feel like as a songwriter she’s just not there yet at all

let me quote one of her greatest songwriting achievements: "DUH"

I realize how lame it is to hate on Billie Eilish but Bad Guy is legit one of the worst songs ever made

even the angry video game nerd would rather eat a roadkill skunk and down it with beer than to listen to that song

we get it, you don't like it, now fuck off

excellent song

Over/under 50% a sex tape drops at some point in this chicks career

calling her a loser is kind of harsh

I was gonna listen to this out of morbid curiosity, but it's actually pretty fantastic.

This is good. Like very very good

"According to Eilish, the song is "about many different situations that we've all either witnessed or experienced. I hope I can inspire change. Try not to abuse your power."
So basically it is about her parents making her go to bed early or some shit"

Not sure if that's the case, and I don't hate the song, but this made me spit my drink haha.

Is this as bad as it is?

Not a huge Billie fan but this song is dope. Hope her sound follows more in this vein moving forward.

Sput really has become overrun with edgelords waiting for pop artist's material to be posted so they can drown it in cringe worthy comments eh? Imagine trying to dunk on a song for being stupid and mentioning 'the angry video game nerd' in your 'burn' bahaha

always has been temptemp, always has been

damn this lasseg guy really emanates small dick energy, don't be so tilted over an 18 year old popstar

"for all you know we are younger than her, other than that, party on Garth"
this explains why you're acting like a child

This actually pretty good

we get an AVGN reference and then a guy named Makemebad35 comments lol what is this

Singles have been gr8, excited for the album though I do hope it gets a little more bold than this

"Over/under 50% a sex tape drops at some point in this chicks career"

pause

dear god, this turned to cancer. im out

She's got a great voice, but holy shit every instrumental I've heard her sing over has been so bland and boring. Please get this girl some better production.

boring

She's got a great voice, but holy shit every instrumental I've heard her sing over has been so bland and boring. [2]

Garbage. Y'all been brainwashed.

alts...alts everywhere

people like a thing I don't like? obviously brainwashed

obviously

What the hell happened to this thread, lol

i mean are you really asking that

pretty much what you would expect when someone brings up billie eilish on a site full of metalheads and /mu/ rejects

I pretty much abandoned this article as soon as I posted it, so yeah, it seems I missed a lot

ya exactly lol

havnt you been on sput since like 08, threads going off the rails is like a daily occurrence here breh

part of the sites charm imo

whose alt are you fabio

Yeah, but I didn't expect it to be over a fucking Billie Eilish song, lol

desdinova

"desdinova"

False. Where are all the "men" comments?

ur right im hawks

shit the fking bed y'all are lame

song is average for the same reason that most contemp pop artists' bloodless acoustic numbers are average, but her debut was mostly worse than average, the production is good, and she can sing. so there's that. cool!

"I realize how lame it is to hate on Billie Eilish"

hexes and punctured tyres upon the Very Many of you who validated this annoyingly accurate take. grow tf up please

Did anybody else get Anberlin “Unwinding Cable Car” vibes off the acoustic melodies in this song?
Fully expecting it’s just me but thought I’d put it out there.

hmmm yeah i guess a new avi is on the cards

people hatin on billie are just mad she's legal now so their sick fantasies are ruined

Nice song. I'm interested to hear it in context of the whole album

heck you seem perhaps a bit overly concerned with people hating on bloodless contemp pop artist Billie Eilish ngl

nah I'm just having fun

yea I was doing a study program in Iceland for a while but when COVID hit I had to fuck off back home before all the travel got shut down

Honestly this song is the polar opposite soundwise of what I expected her music to be

I love iceland and it's beautiful and I want to live there someday but in a global pandemic I'd rather be close to my family than alone in a foreign country where I don't have a job and barely speak the language yanno


edit: for context these last two comments were responses to someone who appears to have been deleted

if this hits number 1 on billboard it will be a good thing tbh, the same old electropop drivel has been terrible, this is a terrific change of pace

this thread is hilarious

It's fuckin' wild, lol

🍿🥤

She's so much better at this stuff than the whole trap thing. Loving this track quite a bit. Also fuck this thread wtf guys.

Agreed, I hope she keeps going in this direction tbh

Really wish beautiful tracks like this went somewhere. Instead they just fizzle out.

queen tbh

This reminds me of Phoebe Bridgers tbh, I'm digging it

This thread needs chemo, it's riddled with cancer

that's misogyny for you

"Yeah outside of the rapper thing I think most people have been in an abusive relationship by that point in their life [age 18]"

lol

who else in this thread is misogynist

i hate lingua ignotas music pretty sure that makes me a misogynist

cunnilingua

lingua ignotabletomakeagoodalbum

agreed

“Imagine trying to dunk on a song for being stupid and mentioning 'the angry video game nerd' in your 'burn' bahaha”


Alright idc what they said, let’s not insult AVGN.

Welp this abandons pretty much all the things I thought were cool and unique about her last album

Not bad but if this is the direction she's going I'm not really interested

she should start a raw black metal project and sing about knights and forests and castles shrouded in mist

"edit: for context these last two comments were responses to someone who appears to have been deleted"

Wonder what happened to him... R.I.P.

F in chat

new Billy Eyelash song is a country classic

ha um endcedits?

She has a great voice and Phinneas is a good producer but the songwriting is just so lacking. I'm certain she'll someday make music that I can get into (well I do already love Everything I Wanted) but this is a bit bland

Her music is so flat and boring. I can’t stand the way she sings, that sort of semi-whisper it grates my ears. I sympathise with what she went through, but her music is just so passé it astounds me that she’s as popular as she is

heck will murder both of you

"that's misogyny for you"

Good lord

billie dudlish

there is simply no way someone could listen to this and hate on it without being a misogynist. These sounds are literally engineered to be good. There’s science behind it

Just did a Vogue photoshoot strap in comments gonna get even fucking better lfg

aren’t you like 30

I was talking about people like the guy joking about a sex tape you illiterate dolts

she cant make a sextape as good as Deftones

and also people like lasseg

didnt Billie inspire you not to abuse your power??

y’all need jesus

does billie eilish need jesus tho

Billie Eyelash peg Jesus

new vogue picture of her literally in lingerie, everything that has happened in this thread has now been validated

cool👍

Yes it is very cool, very cool indeed...

"she cant make a sextape as good as Deftones"

Ngl, her voice would be a pretty good fit for the softer Deftones tracks. I could totally see her covering Teenager or Minerva at some point tbh

This just seems like any paint-by-numbers mid-tempo acoustic song. Way too reliant on lyrics for me.

To be honest, I think lyrics in general completely miss the point of music as art and media, but I'm probably alone in that; to me, music is about the abstract, about the emotions and atmosphere that sound can create and how people interpret it, rather than semantics and explicit meaning.

i mean lyrics don't have to be explicit. everything u describe can be done with words too

Half the things I listen to are unintelligible return to monke bullshit so that about sums up my thoughts on the importance of lyrical content.

btw key check out Pale Waves new album very peak Avril throwback

New Pale Waves was disappointing but it had a couple of catchy tunes

It was not at all disappointing if you were a big fan of 2000s girl pop.

yezzir, lemme peep that

I also don't care about lyrics usually, but can see how they can be an expression of art

reminds me of one of the tracks off For Emma

and Carrie & Lowell

"18 years old and doing more than any of us will ever do"
That's the most depressing thing I've read in a really long time. You really don't believe in yourself? Or are record sales just so fucking amazing?

I completely agree with whoever said she's just not there as a song-writer yet. I can see what the appeal is, the tone and aesthetic, but like... I couldn't find a single metaphor on her whole first album. She's like "I like colors" and I'm like "please find something to write about before getting more Grammies."

Definitely talented, plenty of potential... just waiting for it.
This song was a step, but I don't see myself coming back to it. :/

“I couldn’t find a single metaphor on her whole first album”

music is dead

Gone from ‘quite unique but bad’ to ‘derivative and totally average’ - dunno if that’s a good career move or not

she’s doing alright for herself

“I can see what the appeal is, the tone and aesthetic, but like... I couldn't find a single metaphor on her whole first album.”

I’m gonna drop my ironic persona for one second and just say, this is the most brain dead sentence I’ve ever read on this site lmao. And I don’t even like her music!

"18 years old and doing more than any of us will ever do"

growing up within the realm of the music industry, with the resources she had access to throughout her whole life, i'd say that she had a definite advantage compared to your average joe musician.

cool, she still does more than you will ever do, even if her shit sucks, even if she has an advantage.

Y’all are some weirdo butthurt losers no 🧢

yeah i hate defending making shit with "she is young so you can criticize her". I remember the same shit when Justin Bieber came out with his first hits and if you hated on him you were just "jealous"

oh sorry for having an opinion. i guess i cant say anything because a celebrity has done more than little old me.

I pulled up a random Billie song and immediately found a metaphor lol

“Bad, bad news
One of us is gonna lose
I'm the powder, you're the fuse
Just add some friction”

2 metaphors actually

But idk if I would agree “Billie has done more than any of us ever will.” Depends on perspective really

I mean she literally has a zillion dollars so

It’s not criticizing her that’s wrong, it’s the means in which you do it. And y’all sound like some weirdo butthurt losers no 🧢

YOU ARE SO JELLY OMG! I BET YOURE A WHITE CYS MALE!!

her music sucks, very few people on sputnik disagree with that

I am certainly jelly of having a zillion dollars

that’s a feisty Noler

Hugh Mungus

wowowo look at her record sales and net worth! so inspiring i stan

Neanderthal ^

are you implying one has to be mentally retarded to make a song like Bad Guy? Yeah, maybe

Neanderthal ^

wtf

why are you saying mongoloid

this somehow got even more cancerous, ffs

now youre the Bad Guy

It’s not criticizing her that’s wrong, it’s the means in which you do it. And y’all sound like some weirdo butthurt losers no

no, you guys are still the bad ones in this scenario lol

noler do you know what the word mongoloid means and the history of it

screw you guys im going home

Okay let’s go with Neanderthal then, sorry

freedom of speech bois

something tells me lasseg does know what mentally retarded means tho, historically

your freedom to be an annoying edgelord, i guess

"Yeah outside of the rapper thing I think most people have been in an abusive relationship by that point in their life [age 18]"

lol [2]

me and Billie both

ur yelling at a wall, no one here likes her music

Billie def got a few more brain cells than you

i mean >80% gave her album a 2.5+ so that's kind of wrong.

sick burn bro

my point is why does her success bother you that much

because it clearly makes you rage

hope that wall eventually talks back

and like who cares, pop stars exist

It is alright to be a fanboy but to question my intellect..

i like her music and i love that it pisses Lasseg off like a little boy trying to get in some girls pants and gets so pissed when he gets friendzoned thinking he's a good guy

noler Billie is never going to notice you

cause he's the baaad guy

oh we're all questioning that intellect, lasseg

“noler Billie is never going to notice you“

hmmm

hahaaha

hahaaha

seems like it is you who is pissed, GarthAlgar

i'm sitting here enjoying this, bro
sipping on this tea

Top of the morning to ya

afternoon tea, dinner and supper next

actually the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet itt

nothing beats a good cup of tea tbh

enjoy the tea, guy! nothing beats a good cup of tea tbh [2]

noler - bro you're seething, calm down buddy. maybe garth can share some tea?

Everybody freeze.

yeah, i threw a few punches but its all in good jest
if someone is legit pissed, go meditate or something

this is a damn internet forum ffs

you should know sputnik news post comment sections are a bloodbath cmon

yeah, i tend to stay on album review threads bc of this

I have no qualms calling dumb people dumb so i don’t mind

thats some NWA shit

i notice u noler

Y'all are getting way too hyped up over this drivel.

I don't know why I even checked this, but it's very inoffensive boring pop

If you hate this: you're trying too hard
If you love this: it's gotta be the lyrics? The lyrics are prob the best part

Not for me

Is there a bigger collection of male Virgins on the internet than sput?

Pretty sure 4Chan and Reddit have this place beat on that one

whats a girl

song is boring af yeah, liked some production stuff on their debut but this just takes that all away haha
