January 21, 20223 yr Out now! I still can’t believe there’s 6 old hits (+ Its a Sin) tagged onto the end, there’s not even a version of the album on Spotify without them.
January 21, 20223 yr At least Mabel isn’t adding songs from 8 years ago onto hers! :lol: (That being said, I am looking forward to hearing the album)
January 21, 20223 yr At least Mabel isn’t adding songs from 8 years ago onto hers! :lol: (That being said, I am looking forward to hearing the album) It’s only on one of the download editions of the album and you don’t have to purchase those tracks if you already have them!
January 21, 20223 yr Underwhelming on first listen, esp with the heavy rebranding. Tacking on old hits to up the streams is just embarrassing, not to mention kinda cancels out the rebranding.
January 21, 20223 yr the adding of old hits is very odd... i might have understood more if he'd re-recorded the songs... but he hasn't? I'm also curious why he said there were no slower songs on the record when theres a few... did he change the album?
January 21, 20223 yr This is basically just average pop music. Not bad or anything for the most part, just not particularly exciting. Plus I do find listening to his/their albums the songs tend to get very repetitive.
January 21, 20223 yr its really weird but i thought they were gonna be more indie-pop when they started, the 2nd album was sorta all over the place and now he's come back as a pop star. I think the twinkly, first album vibe is very missed. There are hints of a good album here... and it's in no means bad... just when the songs are on, their catchy but I haven't walked away obsessed with a particular track.
January 21, 20223 yr not him moving his album date to avoid releases and meat loaf will probably beat him to #1
January 21, 20223 yr This is so average and sounds like an album of demos/leftovers :( it's not bad but like Aly says, it's just not exciting or unique like the first two albums largely were.
January 21, 20223 yr In particular, 'Strange and Unusual' felt like it was never going to end but it's only just over 3 minutes :lol:
January 21, 20223 yr I don't care how this post comes across or how OTT it sounds but, I wasn't really running to check the album out given nothing this era has really grabbed me. Having seen that songs from the DEBUT are tagged to the end has low-key enraged me though? When did the artform of an album become this watered down that old hits can be tacked onto the end to increase the relevance or chart performance of it. It's so depressing and I really hope the OCC do something about it. I won't be listening to the album because of the sour taste this has left in my mouth :') A complete disregard of integrity and an artistic vision for the music. Again, I know this sounds so OTT and I don't know why I am affected by it but... if the music quality was strong enough - let it do the talking rather than relying on past glories :(
January 21, 20223 yr Nah, I agree. It's embarrassing and shallow. He's giving a lot of sob story interviews about being 'abandoned' by the others right now too and it is not playing well for me tbh.
January 21, 20223 yr Remember that it’s more than likely the label that thought up the tactic as a means of trying to ensure some chart longevity, so in turn that could lead to more people checking out the album. In a chart that is already so messed up in numerous respects, I almost can’t blame them for playing the system!
January 21, 20223 yr I blame Mabel personally, she has really unleashed a demon here. Edited January 21, 20223 yr by Tawdry Hepburn
