Olivia Rodrigo - SOUR (May 21, 2021) • Page 19

Single favorite production detail on this whole album is the little guitar lick leading into the instrumental bridge part of “good 4 u” that sounds like “Adelaide” by Anberlin

 

Might have to check out this billie joel she sings about.

 

I think hope ur ok is the best on here.

 

He’s in this band Green Day, I think you’ll like them

 

Brutal is so surprising as the opener and she absolutely kills it. Such a cool song

 

This is pretty good! Jealousy and Favorite Crime were my favorites. Production all around is super impressive — cool to hear a bunch of different sounds through this lense

 

This is absolutely fantastic.

 

I like this a bunch. Not sure how much I'll go back to it.

 

I need to know if Brutal having the Pump It Up riff is intentional

 

Fucking love this

 

So does this album lean more towards the sound of Drivers License or Good 4 U? I’m guessing from the response here and on Twitter that the angsty teen lyrics keep up throughout the album with is definitely my lane haha

 

It's half and half! I would've liked them to add one more uptempo track or lose one of the ballads on the back end (imo the closer doesn't work thematically but a lot of people seem to dig it).

 

First listen through this, and as an album it feels a bit disjointed but the songs are very good. I had only heard "Driver's License" before (and that only once) but I'm loving the Alex Lahey vibes from "Good 4 U".

 

The more I listen to Good 4 U, the more I would like to hear that chorus with some louder, distortion turned up guitars chugging out some power chords lol

 

wow true

 

i’d say more drivers license overall but it’s a good mix

 

i hate this wig so much man

 

First listen went pretty much how I expected from the singles- really great songs, but lacking a little in energy for my tastes for the full listen. It’s a quick listen so I’ll definitely come back.

It’s liberating to listen to something that’s unashamed to be youthful. A lot of artists focus really hard on acting mature, but this album’s down to be a little bratty when it’s appropriate.

 

Man, anyone else would bust the chorus Les of “good 4 u” wide open with big live drums and crashes and I really love the choice to keep the drums filtered and let the vocal carry it and soar

 

I love this on first listen.

I remember Paramore doing this for Brand New Eyes (or brand new eyes, I guess), although everything is capitalized normally on streaming now.

 

take carla azar on tour
