Well, anyway, I'm glad her fans are happy with it  |

People actually think Blue is generic? On ATRL of all places.

Imagine if she'd decided to rush release and released it Monday, the same day as Sucker in the UK

The rest of the album I don't to be excellently written. It sounds like lyrics written by a pretty good high schooler. Idk, the album sounds cool at least.
Like I said, I'm certainly not shading. I like the first two albums and really respect her talent. I just don't see why people like this album on here, but to each his own! Glad you all like it!!

"Weeds" is the only song that's just okay. The rest is either great or brilliant.

This album is def a grower, in the best way possible. The songs just grow to be amazing and flawless, she's put out an amazing job on this album and you can actually hear and feel how talented she is in each song. It's raw, it's honest and just solid. One of the greatest records released in the past three years.

Blue sounds so much like a The Family Jewels track, it's so good
actually the whole album sounds like TFJ but in some sort of updated/evolved way with hints of 80s pop

Froot is definitely the stand out. Blue sounded really generic at first I think because of the "gimme love gimme" part, but once the chorus hits I'm dancing around.
I keep singing "Forgeeeeeeeet" around the house now that I've listened to the album.
Gold is my personal favorite, the production of it reminds me La Roux a lot and I LOVE it.
Can't pin me down is one of her best tracks she's done in years.
Solitaire is fighting for my #1 spot, it's so chilling and euphonic.
Better than that is growing on me, but I only feel meh about it, I'm my a fan of weeds, and savages leaves me wanting more from the track.

Underneath it all we're just savages
hidden behind shirts, ties and marriages
How could we expect anything at all?
we're just animals still learning how to crawl
Underneath it all we're just savages
hidden behind shirts, ties and marriages
Truth is in us all, cradle to the grave
we're just animals still learning to behave

yeah some lyrics are not reasonable but a little bit of silly lyrics wouldn't make a song bad, especially if it's an upbeat song

2. I'm a Ruin
3. Better Than That
4. Gold
5. Blue
6. Forget
7. Savages
8. Immortal
9. Weeds
10. Happy
11. Solitaire
12. Can't Pin Me Down

I refuse to rank this album. Would mean one song would have to be the "worst" and that is just a crime because they are all perfection.

Solitaire has grown on me, but Gold is still the worst. I don't know why, but I just can't get into it
