Kacey Musgraves - Deeper Well (March 15, 2024) Album • Page 18

now that I looked up what song that is, I totally heard it on first listen too

 

'The Architect' is soooooo far and away my favorite song off this. jeez. i love this.

 

"Citation needed"

 

I have your citation below:

 

I set you up for that, and you delivered.

 

I think my favorite so far is Sway.
The more I listen to the full album, the more I enjoy it.

 

just snagged the Target variant

 

Say It Right is my jam and I don’t hear it at all. Haven’t watched that video yet. All I hear is pokemon

 

That’s dope. Didn’t hear the interpolation at first but it’s definitely there. Also I don’t get the pokemon thing tbh. The pokemon theme song is an entirely different melody. I do however hear “garden gnome”

 

Car-din-al! Po-ke-mon!

 

I do still think this is stylistically pretty one note, but it doesn’t blend together nearly as much as I thought initially. Cardinal and The Architect are the standouts here imo, and there are probably 2-3 songs I’d cut but it’s a strong record overall. Also, Anime Eyes rules

 

Not for nothing, nobody calls Pink Moon stylistically one-note as a derogatory term. That’s sorta folk music.

 

We ordered the green sweatshirt and it came today. It's unfortunately pretty thin and I am afraid of what will happen when we wash it

 

"cohesive" and "one-note" are basically different ways of saying the same thing depending on whether you like it or not

 

Completely untrue, I know so many cohesive albums that go in a hundred different directions

 

I really don’t think this blends together at all. “Moving Out, “Jade Green,” “The Architect,” “Lonely Millionaire,” “Anime Eyes”… those songs all take me to completely different places.

 

agreed

 

that is a bug, not a feature imo. not every album has to have an overarching theme or connective tissue between songs but there should be something tying them together. the randomness of it contributes to the feeling of it being just a collection of songs for different playlists

 

IMO, it's a "search for meaning" album. I hear a pretty clear existential throughline to the songs, like she's taking stock of the past six years (a huge album, a marriage that imploded, a pandemic, a lot of global and personal turmoil) and trying to make sense of what comes after what will likely prove to be her career peak. I dunno, we all think our life is going to follow some clean-arc script, but I find this album to be a pretty interesting grappling with what happens when the script goes off course. Maybe life is all just random shit after all.

 

Sorry to wax all poetic on you, lol

 

dammit craig

 

i get that lyrically but that still doesn’t translate to songs that sound like they have any relation to each other haha

 

I guess I don't totally get your criticism? Do you want the songs to sound more alike?

 

i want it to sound like an album and not songs cobbled together for playlisting. i don’t disagree with you that there are lyrical trends but there are next to none musically
