I just never paid attention to who it was whenever I would hear their stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seem to recall a few other fans of her debut on here from a couple years ago, wondering what everyone else thinks. i cannot wait for the new album. i enjoyed the song. and hey even she shits the bed. She did Sour which is ALREADY an all timer for me. she's in my good graces forever. Mick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick My guess is this will be a little too much like Sour for critics who are impatient for change and growth, but it will be the fan reaction which will determine whether Olivia continues down the path she’s already going or changes lanes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Same I will say, there are some kinda…. musical theater(?) elements to Vampire. If she’s going to be leaning into her acting background in that way the results could be very divisive…. and I’m betting you and I would love it, lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 (edited) Cat Stevens. His 70's Material was awesome. And yes Treeduck i still think Ian Anderson was copping him for AT LEAST songs like Rover.

The Analog Cub Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Haken and Porcupine Tree. Fauna is Haken's absolute pinnacle release, I wasn't sure if they'd ever top Affinity. And PT's latest album is also fantastic and it's made me appreciate Barbieri's work more in the back catalog with how front and center his stuff is on the new album. It's like rediscovering all the songs I loved in the past, kinda like how I started paying more attention to Geddy's bass lines over the years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wandering Hermit Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 (edited) MASTODON. Jeez Loiuse, this Hushed and Grim album is kicking my ass in the best kind of way. What an amazing band, like Molly Hatchet blended with Metallica and plenty of proggy goodness. Edited July 7, 2023 by Wandering Hermit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Taylor Swift Listening to the new Speak now i had a weird thing happen. I miss orifginal country singer/songwriter taylor and (sorry Segue) it's making midnights slip to where it was. I just loved her songwriting style in this years. Pop queen Swift is fun and all but after red she lost SOMETHING in her songwriting. and as much as i love Something like Lover. This first songs through Red just have a sparkle. Which is why i was so excited about Folklore........SHE WAS GETTING THAT BACK then........it's me......HI!!!!!!!!!!! AND...... ugh. i hope Segue at least gets some of my point, lol any i'm beginning to think her best era was Fearless-Red. yes it's a new revelation but i'm fine with it,.

I think any singer who tries different styles will have an era that resonates with you. I've loved Speak Now since it came out, but always felt it had too slick a production and her voice wasn't ready for her songwriting. I cried listening to this. This is EVERYTHING However, I think Anti-Hero is flawless songwriting and one of her finest moments. Edited July 7, 2023 by Segue Myles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is EVERYTHING this re-works are great because to be honest young swift's voice is not pleasant to my ears? i know she was mid-puberty but yea, lol hopefully Speak now gets it's due with this cause it's kind of the "lost album" No one REALLY rates it among her best.

Mick Among her core fanbase Speak Now gets a lot of love. I don't really get why it wasn't bigger in the media. Back To December Enchanted Spark's Fly Mean Haunted Mine The Story Of Us I see these songs brought up all the time! Also, the bonus material is killer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been up and down on that song but at the moment I love it. Honestly think every Taylor era has been phenomenal. She tries her hand at many things and I've never been let down. And the best thing about the new Speak Now is that I feel finally, her vocals match her songwriting. However, I don't miss the Speak Now era. Every single album she has released since has seen her talent shine and her skills improve. Not everything won me over immediately, but I have, for example, fallen in love with Lover recently and 1989 is a much better album than I thought it was at the time. I can't get enough of the new Speak Now. Edited July 7, 2023 by Segue Myles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hated his drumming before I knew it wasn't a unique perception. And thats why I never rate them highly when talking thrash metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
