Olivia Rodrigo - GUTS (September 8, 2023) • Page 19

never had luck using vpn's while using Apple Music or Spotify, but works like a charm on YouTube. First song is a bop

 

i pay for ProtonVPN, and it's worked really well. halfway through and this is fantastic so far. also this hasn't been mentioned here iirc, but apparently there are 4 additional songs coming that she teased in that trailer shared yesterday?

 

13. "Obsessed"
14. "Scared of My Guitar"
15. "Stranger"
16. "Girl I've Always Been"

 

get him back is a jam

 

Love is Embarrassing rules

 

This album fucking rules, I don't know if its just the first couple listen jitters but I truly think its more cohesive, mature and sounds more of a complete project than SOUR. This is truly a deep dive of Olivia's entire life and trust into stardom in a deep personal introspective. Of course there are some fun hits on this one but the ballads honestly is where this shines brightest. Don't want to get into spoilers right now since a majority of you haven't heard it yet but goddamn this is magical.

5th listen ranking:

1. making the bed
2. ballad of a homeschooled girl
3. vampire
4. logical
5. pretty isn't pretty
6. the grudge
7. teenage dream
8. lacy
9. love is embarrasing
10. all-american bitch
11. get him back!
12. bad idea right?

 

If bad idea right is the worst song this is probably gonna be my AOTY lol

 

Can’t believe this album isn’t out yet (for people who don’t live in New Zealand or have that thing that gets advertised on podcasts), and the songs are already getting ranked.

 

still can’t believe the official lyrics in bad idea right is in whose sheets and not in his sheets

IT SOUNDS LIKE HIS SO MUCH

 

It is Chorus after all.

 

Album is solid! Going to take me a bit of time to see if the ballads grow on me, but the upbeat stuff is immediate

 

get him back is fun as hell

 

Wait, really? No way

 

Guitar on "pretty isn't pretty" is VERY "1979" (Smashing Pumpkins) and I think it sounds great

 

i was already stoked to hear this, but you comparing a song to my favorite song ever has me BEYOND hyped now!

 

Just the guitar!!! I'd be shocked if you didn't pick up the similarity yourself TBH

 

Bad idea being last gives me hope since am not a fan of it at all. Excited for the album though!

 

would be massive for MP but I really can’t see the crowd reception being very good.

 

I'm really excited for this album, but I admit I forgot it was coming out tonight because I've been hyper-focused on V's EP, oops. Guess I'll be grabbing this at Target tomorrow morning when I go get his EP.

 

how many ballads?

 

This is much better than Sour, and I liked Sour.

 

half and half -ish

 

Only listened once earlier while partly distracted but it felt like there were def several and I liked them a lot!
