After the release of Sorry Not Sorry, I was expecting Tyler to really change things up. Despite lyrics inferring that he is done with hiding behind characters, it still feels like he is hiding behind familiar tricks. Most of the individual tracks are solid enough but I feel they don't quite come together to create something special in the way that FB and Igor did."[+]Reply
"New Wave was never the most coherent of genres and this release only marginally fits into that categorisation. The loose guitars, not-so-subtle synths and pounding drums, alongside Matt Johnson’s soulful vocals, make for a wonderful listen, however. Worth your time.

"Definitely disappointed. Although this is pretty good pop rap, this isn't exactly where I wanted Chance's music to go.

Singles like 'Angels' got me hoping for a mixtape with that tropical type sound and some gospel 'Ultralight Beam' stuff mixed in.
Chance went for a very mainstream pop-rap sound here and even makes some party songs. I think the feature list is terrible and I never thought I would see Future or Young Thug on a Chance mixtape. Maybe I was hoping he would stay in his druggy phase forever, which probably led to my disappointment even more. It definitely seems as though Chance is maturing, which is good since he is now a father. I do however enjoy some moments on here quite a bit. All We Got, Summer Friends, Blessings, and Angels are the high points for me. Maybe it's a grower and overtime I'll learn to love it.
It'll be interesting to see where Chance goes from here, whether he'll go back to his prior sounds or continue to dig deeper into the mainstream. "[+]Reply

But the real standout here is disc 2 which brings together Slowdive's first 3 amazing EPs. I actually prefer it to the album. The best of shoegaze is on that disc. If you're remotely interested, hunt down this beautiful reissue."[+]Reply
"Destroying my soul and ego slowly but completely, tears coming out from my half-closed eyes, the whole world fading out from my view, fireworks burning inside of my brain, the future arriving in some obscure places... It's a beautiful tragedy"Reply

Yeah 've had varying responses to the Billie phenomenon, her first album was one of the first times listening to it I just felt old- what seemed to be heralded as this brilliant bit of noir pop I just saw a lot of teenage I-cracked-the-code posturing and the fact that the sound just felt far too much like nearly everybody who'd blasted out of the post Odd Future hype, though there were a couple of moments (especially "Bury a Friend" and "I Love You") that I could see some real talent and promise for the future. Then came the messy Pandemic release of "Happier than Ever", which I found far more interesting, not only in it's Kid-in-a-candy-store endless genre hopping but in that she was exploring some geniunely conflicted and difficult emotions that made the album feel more directly confessional, even if admittedely the throw-it-on-the-wall approach meant a good number of the songs didn't work (surprisingly the limpest ones were the more directly venomous kiss-offs) and didn't really cohere as an album despite the consistient overarching theme of the emotional torment of sudden fame.
Now I can see why this album has gotten the positive acclaim it has, it's an incredibly lean release full of the kind of shimmering, attractive compositions that Billie and her longtime bro producer Finneas have mastered over the course of her career, and on the surface there is a feeling of more direct and less put-upon angsty singer-songwriter appeal to the overall songs & LP. But... uh... well I guess to go bit by bit: "Skinny" is a solid and incredibly succinct summination of her previous album, both the cost of fame and the invasive personal scrunity (particularly the crassest kind, especially on her own body or love life), if maybe a bit slight overall it still effectively lets the ink dry on the chapter to move forward. Now "Lunch" was oddly ballyhooed as something shocking and daring because of it's dip into direct Sapphic attraction, but uh, which current left-of-center girl singer DOESN't have a lesbian-crush song out there? It's as on-trend as it gets, which doesn't mean it isn't earnest and perhaps an FU to those Twitter weirdos who endlessly hounded her with Queerbaiting accusations, but I mean "Bad Guy" honestly was more risque than this. And mentioning that song of course highlights a major reason why I think a number will have a number of major "... that's it?" reactions to this song, since it has all the elements to be a major banger in theory, but it doesn't bang at all in practice. I think in many ways Billie's usual detached cool hampers this here as her voice should really morph into a more hormonal throttle, but I donno maybe it's some annoying & dated tricks (f*king hell those perfunctory hand-claps, giving late Aughties flashbacks). It's maybe disappointing that this is what's going to get the most attention when the following tracks are much stronger, a far better mix of the more spacious and fluid compositions anchored strongly in the nucleus by Billie's much more confident though still appealingly delicate husk of a voice. The only somewhat peculiar thing here is why the album went from talking about newfound infatuation to immediately pivoting towards breakup song after breakup song (or more so, Near-Breakup or Missed Ships in the Night songs), there seems to be a track or two that's lying somewhere on an editing room floor.
Only by "The Greatest" am I starting to see some problem with the overall production, as the late additions of percussion and chopped-up distortion feel pounded flat into the composition when they should feel a lot more dynamic and intrusive. Then there's "L'amour de ma vie" which, no, the French title doesn't mean a damn thing, which ultimately is another Ironic not-in-love ballad with a decent but for Billie predictable punchline.... but then that's where the album gets really weird. And I Don't mean that in a good way. Cause just after the song seems to end it suddenly swerves instantly into this 2000s Ibiza-ready deafining Euro Club song though if it were thrown threw a Hyperpop cheese grater, which I admit for the first time I was actually taken aback and surprised when listening, but thematically and musically it has no connection to what came before or after and feels like the equivalent of mustard suddenly and needlessly squeezed onto a sundress. Though I'll take that over the next track, next to that one Micheal Scarn moment from When We All Fall Asleep as one of the only truly terrible tracks she's produced, a ridiciously cheesy electro beat with no humor or progression to make it feel Ironic or Campy or whatever the fuck. At first it was confounding, but when the next track rips-off her own Wish You Were Gay beat but without pithy lyrics or a discernible point at all, it came clearer but also... why? are you going back scrounging for Z-sides from your late 2010 days?
After that bizzare extended interlude, the album does admirably close with a song that could've been a 120-minutes underground smash in the mid 90s, a dense, subtly swirling and smartly layered Electro-accented bit of 90s alt-rock that both lyrically and sonically actually closes the album pretty effectively, even if it's making me question why we needed that needless and jarring bit of leftovers thrown in as the penultimate track(s).
So yeah that's kind of why I find this a mixed bag, less than being hit Hard and Soft on both sides it feels like an album that starts off on a steady Gallop but then kind of Waddles on the edges before gracefully crossing the finish Line. it's certaintly lovely to listen to despite some really questionable choices late in the run but it also has already felt less than meets-the-ear after giving it a couple of repeat listens, maybe her and Finneas's musical choices are starting to feel a bit too lameneted and "Safe Edgy", but also Billie seems to pick and choose when she wants to be more detailed and upfront with her lyrics to skewing a more dead-eyed Coyness and simply straining the emotional crux of the songs to feel more generalized and universal rather than directly personal. It's solid and I can see why some view it as her best, but I find it a slight step down from the previous release and it's following singles which just felt much more from-the-gut even if it led to messier results. Maybe this is just the start as many have already worked the theory this is just the beginning of several colour-coded releases, but for now I'll rate this as a (mostly) musically pleasing release that just feels a bit too tentative at key moments to take that next leap forward."[+]Reply

That makes this the perfect album in my opinion to start listening to Zappa as you still get the nuances but they are a lot more subtle. The music still works brilliantly with the instrumentation being layered and diverse just like always. I think the drums and keyboards are fantastic on here but what steals the show is the guitar for me. It drives every song it is present on forward and has some phenomenal solos as well. As a whole the album is so consistent with there not really being a weak track on here at all. Furthermore, there is so much to dive into on here with there being something new I discover with each listen. Plus Inca Roads is just a musical marvel. Overall, this is an under rated album that is one of Zappa's more accessible releases but it still maintains that high level of musicianship and general genius of his previous releases. "[+]Reply
