Demi Lovato - Dancing With The Devil: The Art of Starting Over (April 2, 2021) Album

I'll probably checking this out. It's 22 tracks which seems like a lot but that's sometimes not a bad thing!

 

Alternate album covers:

 

oh shit she’s musgraving

 

Her post-Tell Me You Love Me singles were mostly and surprisingly not good to average so I'm going into this with some reservations. We'll see.

Does she not meet your ‘problematic artist threshold’ then or is this only for artists you don’t like?

 

???

I’m not sure what the weird “gotcha” you’re going for is (considering we have never interacted before). I didn’t know about that. Seems like it happened back in 2010 which still doesn’t make it okay but she was going into rehab then and has had her battles throughout the years and seems to be in a better place now. If you want to call me out for checking this album out, fine, but call out everyone who cares about accountability and has posted about her music on here (which still seems like a reach but okay)

 

probably compensating for the fat mike avatar and blink username reference if I had to guess

 

Yeahhhh and again, I’m not here to defend what she did but she was diagnosed as bi-polar shortly after the incident and it’s clear based on reports at the time and from her own mouth that she was struggling. If you’re trying to get at me for being critical of Fat Mike or Blink recently, I’m sorry, but their words/actions deserve it and they also weren’t going through mental health issues and undiagnosed bi-polar disorder when they did things worth criticizing.

Just seen you ruin plenty a thread with your overtly PC agenda, found the fact you were selective with your criticisms humorous was all.

I'm glad we have defined addiction and mental health problems are now a reasonable excuse for problematic behaviour though.

 

Overtly PC? Because I care about accountability when it comes to problematic artists? Sorry I care about problematic musicians not being a part of the music scene I guess?

 

clearly.

 

I don’t think this discussion is beneficial in any way and it’s clear you’re just trying to “get” me because I have been critical of artists you like in the past so I’m removing myself from this discussion with you.

 

People who say “PC” are not operating in good faith.

 

Mad World a cover?

 

Excited to hear this.

The first two episodes of her Youtube documentary are really heavy.

 

Why is the Intro on track 4? Is that implying that the first 3 tracks are bonus tracks?

Listening now, ICU and The Art of Starting Over are pretty great.

 

That's just how the album is structured. These first few songs tell the story of her overdose and, from Intro onwards, she talks about everything that happened in her life since.

 

Ah that makes sense.

Finished my first listen now. I'm actually really surprised how much I enjoyed this. Especially since I didn't like Anyone or Dancing With the Devil. Along with those I think the low point of the album is the Melon Cake - Met Him Last Night run. That closer is beautiful. Think along with that my favorites are Art of Starting Over, The Way You Don't Look at Me and ICU.

And yep, Mad World is a Tears for Fears cover.

 

Any good upbeat songs on this?
