Porter Robinson - SMILE! :D [July 26th 2024] Album • Page 13

Let me preface this by saying I genuinely mean it with love

donkey Kong 64 ass intro

 

No it really is, gave me hella DK64/Earthbound in particular vibes

 

I think I've continued to be firmly in the Worlds camp, and this further cements it. I remember I had just started dating my wife when it hit and she probably was probably annoyed with how much I made her listen to the album while we were driving.

 

Immediately heard Earthbound! That final stretch is so beautiful. Loving Amy's vocals.

 

Pre order here worlds

 

Porter tweeted that he can't remember where he had this track slotted on the album but right now he'd put it after Fresh Static Snow and I think that's perfect.

 

awesome little interlude

 

Finally put this record on in the living room with my soundbar and subwoofer. Un-fucking-real. Easier to love you in particular. That second chorus, the sub bass is so solid. Pair that with his lead vocals blended with the vocal manipulation we know him for... what a track. This really might end up being my favorite of the year.

He did it again.

p.s. i may be stoned. maybe just a little.

 

I got my ticket to see him in September. Super excited.

 

Looks like a lot of the album on streaming got updated mixes/mastering, the files are different as of today. I am sure someone on reddit has figured out what changed

After repeated listens, this is sitting at a solid 9/10. Nurture is an album I'd unironically consider a 10/10 and this comes close, but I still give the slight edge to Nurture for coming out at a time where I absolutely needed it.

 

This finally clicked with me and I like it so much. That run of the first four songs is so good.

 

THEN I CLOSE MY EYEEEEESSSS

GAMBLE WITH MY LIIIIIIIFFEEEEE

 

Bingo, feel exactly the same.

 

These singles only got better in context of the album. Even the sequencing of Russian Roulette has grown on me a ton.

 

I still feel like it’s a closer lol but I can also understand why Everything to Me is…

It’s actually my one main gripe about the album… I love Russian Roulette but it just feels out of place where it is. You could probably even just tack it on the end and it could work, idk.

 

Still trying to connect with this one but main barrier is the lyrical content. Just can’t relate to a lot of it.

That’s not to say it’s bad though. The instrumentation is still great and the songs are good.

 

Watching this for the 100th time because why not

 

This show is sick, go see this tour

 

9/13 for me!

 

My brain can’t process this
