Censured, but f***ing amazing. Can't wait to the uncensored version.

:heart: Captivated but need the uncensored version NOW. Must be bloody amazing! Her expressions are incredible. Last scene was great, that sound.

I expected more drama :(

But not much of a video man.

 

And the preview managed to make it look way more expensive than the end product was

I agree with this although i don't know if the uncensored version may be longer cause they cut scenes (?)

Woah love the video!

I have given this album a jogging test now and I must say the entire "Side B" is equally as fabulous as the previously available stuff. The sound is so (enjoyably) ridiculously 90's at times (intro to Superficial could lifted from a Culture Beat album). There are so many little things I enjoy on this album - the way she says 'ackshident' during the "911 call" and I don't even find the four word 'chants' peculiar any more - that's just her way of lyric-writing and if she can express herself much better this way, who am I to look down on her. My fave four word chant is True Love First Touch on Nothing Lasts Forever. They are all probably pretty naff live (Sex Love Control Vanity definitely sounds funny during Mirrors acoustic version).

If I Was God (current fave) is probably a song for those who are questioning whether her persona this time is genuine or not - the whole last minute of it is pretty much her apologising for being different again:

Reality / I wasn't everything that you thought I was / Escape / It's not a lie / I just wanted to give you a best version of me / Fantasy / Ideology / Dishonesty / Trying to protect you from disappointment / Disappointment

 

Although Jagged Little Pill was also a very 90's album, Acid Annie sticks like a sore thumb for its $h!tness. She does borrow alot from other current female stars, that's for sure - I'm getting Rihanna vibes from Broke, but overall her sound is a bit less polished than the other artists with huge budgets which makes Perfectionist a bit more modern for me. Best album since I don't know what - Night Work definitely, but maybe even as far back as Polly Scattergood or Blackout. I think it's the closest thing to the universally expected Blackout 2.0 anyone has managed to put out.

 

'Just because we're deep doesn't mean we can't enjoy the shallow' - that's my 90's summarised right there.

Looking goooood. [sorry for the huge post!]

 

Love this album so much, definitely the best pop album of the year so far, if not the best album of the year altogether.

To get this straight, I really like the 'Wonderland' video and adore most of the tracks I've heard from this album - with full intentions of listening to everything I've not heard now that the full albums leaked in the coming days. But theres something about her that really annoys me about her of late, the pretentiousness is an issue definatly and I cant help but fully agree with the post Popjustice made about her a week or so back.

Beautiful artwork and I do like my musicians to be dripping with pretentiousness, but this doesn't work. She isn't as good as she thinks she is (nor as good as she should be), the production seems off for starters and her vocals aren't quite there... It's just a bit of a mess.

 

I don't understand people's obsession with aligning popstars personalities with their musical ouput. Yeah, she's going through her third reincarnation but what was she supposed to do - accept the fact that her stuff in the form she was recording it in back then was not going to sell so it's better to pack up and join the army of Tesco's checkout girls? Do none of these NU-Popjustice obsessives take music at its face value any more? f*** the interviews and f*** the videos.

 

Feel free to point me to the errors of my thinking. Or maybe I'm just trying to put my own approach to music on a pedestal and expect everyone to act the same.

 

I dont know. I think I root for her because I really wanted this album to be GREAT by its own merits and it did not disappoint me in any way. I suppose that's why I take any criticism so personally that I really should stop arguing on her topic full stop

Listening to the album leak just now. I am really liking what I hear but I can't help feeling that the first half of the album, the ones that had leaked, are stronger than the ending half but mabye thats because I have played the first half so much and love all the songs. I will do an album rate:

 

11 Wonderland

10 Free

09 Break You Hard

06 Zombie

10 Love Is A Suicide

10 Mirrors

07 Not In Love

06 Acid Annie

10 Superficial

07 Broke

08 Heaven

09 Nothing Last Forever

08 If I Was God

Link please :D

CHEEKY! :o

 

Anyways, I have decided that Nothing Lasts Forever is the closest thing to The Fame-era Gaga on this album.

This is an absolutely amazing 'Wonderland' remix, I love it:

 

Does anyone know if there is going to be any limited/fan edition?

Bit early in her career to put so much more money into an album :lol: I doubt it.
