Hayley Williams - Petals for Armor (May 8, 2020) Album • Page 58

First listen, so far (up to Roses/Lotus/Violet/Iris) not *everything* hits, but most of it does. There are maybe one or two songs I’m iffy on some parts but then there are other sections I adore or lines I’m very drawn to.

 

Oh wow, okay, closer is the best song on here imo.

 

Haven’t had a chance to listen in full yet, excited to do so while I work tomorrow.

 

Creepin still does nothing for me.

 

That was the only song I didn't really like.

 

verses on creepin’ are good and I’m p sure that’s the one that has the “I was the other woman first” line which is probably like THE standout line on the record for me but the chorus is hard to really parse for me.

 

Just finished a first listen. Sugar on the Rim didn't really hit for me even if it's still a decent track, but otherwise, I loved the whole thing. This is a clear winner for me but I do think it could have been trimmed down just a little bit.

It's incredible how many genres sound cohesive on here. Totally unexpected release and worth the rollout.

 

yeah I loved that part too.

 

That line is actually in “dead horse”! But agree on the verses of “creepin” being the best.

 

whoops, I’m bad at track titles lol

 

"Pure Love" is straight up unbelievably good, that shimmering little guitar in the right channel is hnnng

 

the last two songs are absolutely incredible, cannot understand how people are thinking this ends weak

 

“Crystal Clear” sounds exactly what being in love feels like. I was truly in tears listening to it the first time.

 

yeah

 

Creepin’ and Taken are the only 2 I’m not really into, but still on the whole this is fantastic.

Cinnamon is still my overall favorite, R/L/V/I is my favorite from part 2, and Pure Love was the standout for me from one listen of part 3.

 

the last chunk is real good

 

closer on this is so incredible

 

"sugar on the rim" is too brilliant

 

straight up MASSEDUCTION-era St. Vincent song right there

 

iii > ii > i

 

II > I > III

 

interesting

 

Imagine if she would've released the poppier stuff from III first and left the darker stuff from I till last.

this album is pretty incredible either way.

 

Phoebe’s story of how she discovered Paramore is my fave
