Billie Eilish - When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? (March 29, 2019) Album • Page 9

ilomilo might be my most favorite previously-unreleased track so far. I think it occupies such an interestingly interstitial space, closer to When the Party's Over lyrically but closer to Bad Guy sonically. Up until that point, most of the mid/up-tempo songs are either tongue-in-cheek like Wish You Were Gay or arrogant(?) like You Should See Me in a Crown. Other sequencing issues aside, it serves as a perfect bridge between Bury a Friend and the three slower songs that close out the album.

 

This is a lame complaint, but I'm not a fan of how commercialized this girl is already.

 

the only song I skip on this is 8 - sheesh

 

I truly don’t understand how someone could think all the songs sound the same here, ha

 

Just realized this is her first album wtf. Love what I’ve heard from her before, checking out the album today.

 

She has another EP/album thing that's really good too, give it a listen

 

Finally got around to listening to this. Honestly getting huge Yeezus vibes off of a few tracks.

 

The only thing I’d change about Billie is that she had some type of merch that wasn’t super ugly.

 

I like some of her merch! But I’m too old to own it lol

 

I get next to nothing out of this record, with the exception of of "Wish You Were Gay", "When the Party's Over", and "Bury a Friend". It's way too monotonous and something about her lyrical style comes off really forced.

 

but have you listened in the dead of the night in the dark with headphones?

 

Tried putting Ilomilo into Guitar Pro; I think I'm gonna cover it. Does this sound right? Found chords and tabs online, but I figured out the bass and drums by myself.

 

Nevermind.

 

The best of the bunch, in my obvious personal opinion haha, but she sadly doesn't get the press and attention the others get.

 

This album isn't sticking with me as I'd hoped. I really love that something this minimalist is blowing up, but it's also almost a bit too minimalist. I find myself getting bored, which feels weird for an album as eclectic and interesting as this one.

 

Trying this out. Halfway through, I think it works so far.

!!!!!!!

Not that it matters that much because I mostly listen to the physical CD and skipping around would be impractical. Posting for the sake of discussion, I guess. What's your ideal song order?

Things I kept the same, Bad Guy is the perfect first song. I Love You into Goodbye is the perfect closing. Of course, Bury a Friend and Ilomilo are inseparable as well. As for changes, I mostly tried pairing together songs that felt similar to each other, like the more whimsical Wish You Were Gay and My Strange Addiction. Keeping 8 as the 8th track was a bit of a challenge. Switching 8 and Listen Before I Go would've probably been a bit more ideal, but I honestly don't feel like any of the singles pre-Bad Guy should be in the first half. I think this way it has a sort of Side A/Side B feel, without losing too much momentum from start to finish.

For real, though, I love most of these songs and like the rest, I'm just glad Billie and this album exist.

 

wouldn't change anything in the track order here

 

second biggest first week sales of the year after Ariana

 

Really surprised that pure sales accounted for so much. Thought this would have a pretty good sales week but absolutely KILL it on streaming but it looks like it was almost even.

 

Holy Moly 307,000.

It was so crazy walking around Times Square last night and seeing huge 100 foot billboards of her. The amount she's grown in 12 months is seriously impressive.

 

She’s definitely done well to get so big so quick. Album rules I think.

 

This was a very interesting interview and a very cool concept. She seems really down to earth and very introspective and appreciative which is not only impressive for her age but very refreshing

 

I’m enjoying this so much more than I expected. I thought her EP was alright but this is pretty damn solid. Love the production on this

 

Listening right now actually
