In Matt's defense, on the physical copy there is no distinction made at all between those songs and the album proper.
Listened to this while I went for my walk this afternoon. Truly a stunning album, there's nothing on here I outright don't like.
That transition from between "Knew Better/Forever Boy" man... feels so sweetly intimate and reassuring. "You're mine, foreverrrrr booooyyyy" *nods* "Okay."
Wow, this reading of the song somehow made it better for me. Still one of my least favorites on the album (partially because it's not , but it makes more sense now. Idk the "standard" version (lol) still feels really frontloaded to me...the upbeat jams set this thing off and when it comes down for "Leave Me Lonely" it doesn't get its energy back until the bonus tracks. "Everyday" is cool in isolation but super repetitive. TLDR Not really feeling "Greedy" through "I Don't Care".
it's a pop album, most of them are frontloaded for a reason. look at kelly clarkson's breakaway, that's probably the most frontloaded album ever, haha
Yeah I know. I'm not so much complaining as offering a counterpoint to this being "perfect". End of the day, I'll grab my favorite 6 tracks and throw them on different playlists as usual. Haha I've never looked at that album tracklist before! They didn't even try to sequence it differently, did they? Though that's somewhat more understandable in a decade that wasn't as single-song focused. Tons of people were still listening to CDs as a primary method of consumption.
I haven't heard more than her singles before but Into You is so damn good that I'm gonna go back and listen to her discography now.
Well if this isn't a damn good pop song. This was the first track she released as a solo artist? Or at least the album opener? Damn. It's very discouraging to learn more about her career as she's only a year older than me haha, props to her for killing it so early on.
