J2112YYZ Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 5 hours ago, Segue Myles said: Epica- The Phantom Agony I think as I mature, I find Epica's take on epic symphonic metal more challenging, more exciting than that of Nightwish. This debut picks up where Mark Jansen left off with After Forever, and it's a wonderful album. I love Nightwish, but seeing Epica's star continue to rise is astonishing to me. I'm not sure they've even peaked yet. Simone is releasing a solo album. The new single is solid. It's the most Epica like song on the album she said. There is supposed to be some songs that are different from symphonic metal on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Taylor Swift- The Tortured Poets Department Inching it's way higher and higher on my list, what I most admire about this album is how unsafe it is. Midnights was a blockbuster pop album, the sort she's done brilliantly before, but even BIGGER. Like Springsteen did after Born In The USA, she dialled it down and accomplished something special: a challenging, adult pop album about relationships, mental health, and growing older. The hooks are still huge but the way she has executed them is different. More nuanced and layered. She also doesn't seem like a superstar here. She seems more jaded and tired, and weary. I love it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Dua Lipa-Radical Optimism I. LOVE. THIS. ALBUM. i've been playing it quietly for daays. Gonna be honest didn't know she was planning a new one. wasn't paying attention. Listen i know Future nostalgia was the fun album we needed. But i think this album is far better. I found myself singing the hooks more. the beats are infectious. the production's amazing. This album must be drugs cause i've been coming back and back and back and back in a way i NEVER EVER did with FN. Pop is having a ground swell baby.

The songs tell the story of someone so entrenched in their own pain and insecurity that they won’t give real connection a real chance, and they wind up hurting other people, but then that desire for realness breaks in and they accept love over control. By the end they find their pain is gone as they realize they only feel happy for people they’ve left behind moving on. Are any of the songs as individually strong as the singles on Future Nostalgia? Probably not, but imo that album also had some kinda frivolous filler, I don’t think this one does. Plus, amazingly, the instrumentals are just as strong, if not stronger. The last record had vibe, this one has atmosphere. I’m reminded of the production of my favorite Muse album in its best moments, The Resistance. A sonic landscape worth revisiting on its own merits, regardless of the songs, which are still good, even great at times. i just saw this post. and i agree my man. FN is great and fun in a time when we needed fun.........BUUUUUT...... i think RO is gonna have far better legs for it is surprisingly layered to where FN is just fun times bitches!!! i've played RO 9 times already.

Mick I’m not sure where it’s gonna end up for me. There’s a good deal in there lyrically that speaks to a piece of my story I’ve been reckoning with all year, so I’m not like diving in headfirst. Same reason I’m holding off on TTPD for a while, though I expect to really like it when I do listen. What I will say is I slotted RO in a tentative spot on my ever growing aoty list, and it was pretty high off the bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(i do think she's had a problem growing musically lately but she's done it) I think it's a good idea you waited. Avoid the rapid hype till it's been a while.

No idea what to expect, but after HTE my expectations are massive. Also, not really the same sphere, but I’m very interested in the upcoming 21P record as well. Been avoiding most of the singles so I can listen fresh the first time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
