June 21, 20241 yr I bought the vinyl of this today. A lot of remastering has been done to these songs, not always in a good way, some of the vocals have had a lot of reverb added to them. The instrumentation has been changed too in places, e.g. the intro of Sk8er Boi has amplified the drums and taken out the guitar twang right in the opening second. I don't dislike it, it's just different, and pretty unexpected for a greatest hits that hasn't been billed as featuring alternative mixes. Edited June 21, 20241 yr by gooddelta
June 21, 20241 yr Got my vinyl today and it's absolutely STUNNING! Extremely NEON-y and lush! However, my HMV only received 4 copies of the CD and so were sold out immediately pretty much :drama: FOUR copies!? Honestly wtf?
June 24, 20241 yr Managing to listen to this and I always forget to what extent I actually love her. Like, I obviously realise I am a big fan, but I always downplay her when I'm talking about my favourite artists and rank her lower than I probably should all the time. Her first 3 albums are 3 all time classics to me. Listening to this greatest hits set really gives me that nostalgic feeling I love.
June 24, 20241 yr Doubtful as she's still touring in Europe this week before heading to the UK this weekend. It is The Greatest Hits Tour though so what better promo is there? :P
June 30, 20241 yr Yes hopefully! Can’t wait to catch her set! Will have to watch it between the football matches.
June 30, 20241 yr I thought it might have gone top 20, but there's not much incentive with nothing new on there and it seems to have had no publicity/interest.
June 30, 20241 yr Loved seeing her last night in Bedford. She's doing Glastonbury today too :) Aah me too! Hope you had fun!
June 30, 20241 yr I'm interested to see whether it can stick around with the streams it'll continue to have assigned to it from her hits...! It's a really strong listen but that's no surprise, I think only the Machine Gun Kelly collab feels weaker to me but then I don't think he's ever particularly good lol.
June 30, 20241 yr Her set list at Glasto seemed solid and representative. I could've done without 'Don't Tell Me' (but that's only out of personal dislike) I'm always amazed she never does 'When You're Gone' as it's one of her biggest hits and seems popular, but I suppose it's not the most huuuuge loss.
June 30, 20241 yr She's performed When You're Gone at some of the longer sets recently so I guess when time is limited she focuses on the bops largely speaking, which is fair enough at a festival show I guess but I think When You're Gone would always go down pretty well (and it's one of my favourites so I'd be gutted to miss it if I were at one of these shows!)
