Yeah, that's how I felt about it. Atlas was so good and one of my 2014 faves, and this felt so underwhelming compared to that one :/

Even Martin Courtney's solo album was kinda better than Real Estate's last.

Btw, some recommendations, perhaps, if you feel like it? Whatever comes to mind first, off the top of your head. Forgot to ask you earlier.

Awesome, thank you. Haven't listened to any of those releases, although I listened to hoops' EP which was pretty good, hope the album is just as solid!

Yes, Bleachers new album didn't do it for me. Sad because I was really looking forward to it.

I'm hopeful Melodrama will redeem pop in 2017.

Pop doesn't need redeeming, it needs superstars again. High profile artists don't run the show anymore, and they've been relegated to producing music for their fanbase instead of for the masses. Bey did it, Britney and Gaga did it, hell Rihanna did too but struck gold anyway, and Katy's about to learn that she can't have her cake and eat it too. The pop scene is just boring and fragmented now. The good is that it's been able to produce a LOT of new and independent artists with potential to smash on the charts, but pop as a culture spectacle is sitting in hospice atm. Bless Beyoncé for trying to keep it alive.

Thanks for bringing this here, I truly thought they were still on a break.
I'm genuinely loving this new EP, the orchestral music marries so well with their style.

I still remember how I was struck with their song at the closing credits of HardCandy (bawp movie)

Is anyone here anticipating Superfruit's (Mitch and Scott from Pentatonix) upcoming "music project"? They recently teased this and have previously released "Bad 4 Us" and "SWEET LIFE." So far, everything has been intriguing enough for me to give the final release a listen, even if I'm not sure how much I'll like it.

We could kiss away the goodbye, goodbye

We'll make it feel like the first time, first time

We could kiss away the goodbye, goodbye

Mitch's voice is amazing. He really has some talent.

Agreeeeed. I recently gave EMOTION and Side B a chance for the first time, and both were reeaaally good. I'm glad POPGAF's fans made me give them a shot.

Downloaded it yesterday, listened to it and removed it from my library as soon as I was finished. Pass.

After all the débâcle and the talk of valuing artists and whatever, she puts it back to try to cockblock Katherin, feeding a petty beef that was already petty enough. Makes her look fake as hell, which surprises no one, really. If her reasons to remove her discography from streaming services were genuine she wouldn't put it back on now of all times.

At this point everyone knows Taylor is petty as fuck. Her next era will celebrate and acknowledge this and we will all be happy and accept her as Queen of Pop.

I don't get it. Every song in this alber (so far) is better than the singles she released. What was Katia's team thinking?

Katy's album sucks aside from two songs. I was at least expecting something fun and trashy bad like Artpop (or even the bad energetic half of Bionic) but this is just a snooze. Second half of PRISM teas with all those midtempos and ballads.

Now now, Taylord's probably too busy working on new music and has forgotten that Katheryn exists, much like the rest of the gp. It's likely just an unfortunate coincidence.
