Olivia Rodrigo - SOUR (May 21, 2021) • Page 24

Missed a lot of pages, but this album is good.

 

I absolutely cannot emphasize enough how much I was not expecting brutal when I started this album

 

I literally cant stop playing Brutal

 

She has a very similar voice to Lorde. There’s definitely some musical similarities too but the biggest thing for me is her breathy vocals when she sings lower/quieter (songs like enough for you, the verse of good 4 u, etc). I’ve always thought of Lorde as having a very unique singing voice, and I always attributed that to her accent, but after hearing this album I think the breathiness is what gives her a distinctive sound.

 

i said mickey mouse club haha

 

Her delivery of “Man, it’s brutal out here.” is great

 

Sold out at all my targets

But I was told this wasn’t gonna sell a lot of physical copies!!!!

 

Not having vinyl the first week hurts her sales so much

 

i would have bought the deluxe 180g LP absolutely

 

Not trying to be a smartass, but who is still buying CDs? Are they cool with teenagers again for the retro vibes?

 

tons of people still buy CDs

 

My car only plays CDs

plus it was an exclusive target cover so fans want to collect them all

 

I buy them all the time.

Target was just sold out of hers this week

 

My dad pretty much exclusively uses CDs to listen to music

 

you guys don’t have a record player in your car?

All my vinyl be scratched as shit.


I have five CDs in my car. Michelle Branch, NIN, Title Fight, O’Brother and a compilation of some shitty record label.

this is great btw

 

I use an iPod mini in the car for most stuff and use the CD player for mixes

 

I buy CDs for my car or I would only have the radio (which is fine, but I like picking my own music once in a while).

 

'brutal' has all of the Be Your Own Pet vibes, love it.

 

If you’re referring to my comment, I believe it was “a lot physical copies relative to the top sellers”, which is who she’s being compared against.

We’ll see! You have the biggest guess, might be doing an Adele cover :)

 

I buy CDs still. Just got the Olivia CD today

 

Not referring to your comment at all haha

 

between all my computers, my car etc. I don't own anything that plays a CD.

 

I mainly still listen to CD's - bought this on CD the other day (Although I'm not that fussed with it)

It's become a bit of a maligned format, but honestly, a lot of albums sound vastly superior on CD than they do on vinyl (although that format has undoubtedly become the hipsters choice in recent years)

 

I've slowly been selling & donating my once massive CD collection, because it's been years since I've owned a device that could actually play them.

 

CD audio is pretty impeccable. Significantly better than most streaming services
