ultraviolence is already aoty. my favourite tracks so far are ultraviolence, brooklyn baby, sad girl and old money. but if it's anything like born to die, i'm going to go through a phase where every track is my favourite at some point. A++ 10/10. best e3 ever.
pre-order splatoon today
The album is jusT
EDIT: Just heard Flipside. That slayage should have been on the album :jonny: Is This Happiness too.
I'll try to give the album a listen soon, since I'm feeling masochistic at the moment.
important edit: Jesus Ware teased her upcoming single!! Our bussies are not ready.

Shades of Cool, Brooklyn Baby, and West Coast are the best songs on Ultraviolence. Bless ha for putting those 3 tracks right beside each other cause the rest ranges from bad to decent.
Oh, Cruel World is nice too, I guess.

Nice.
She looks good! Always looked a bit scummy and, well, in need of a wash quite frankly. But she looks happy and healthy here.
She's been looking so good and happy recently, the pink hair suits her so much
She slayed at a Breast Cancer fundraiser Wednesday too. Having her healthy makes me smile
Hot TBH.
Just listened to it.
Basically, it's Hideaway 2.0, which is a good thing. Mah sniper queen.

So I've heard the new J-Lo album... this is a disaster. I think she should just give it up already. She is way past her prime, and I say that as somebody who really loved all of her singles from 1999 through 2007.
I Luh Ya Papi is still fun to listen to once in a while.
Nice tune! Don't Wait was a bop too.

Who even knows. I'm assuming that somebody at Metacritic just summons a number out of thin air based on the tone of the review or something. Some music reviews do have scores but I honestly find the line of logic between the text and the score baffling, because there's no real justification. Moreover, given that there's more subjectivity with music, scores are often wider-ranging than with games where you often have objective criteria that can serve as a baseline. Some music reviews just degenerate into criticisms of the artist rather than the art as well, which can make the score lower for no actual reason.
For music, Metacritic is only really good if you want to state something is 'critically-acclaimed' in a stan war in the same way that you use sales to say 'chart-smashing' or whatever (or at the very least, 'my fave is better than your fave and my delusions have basis in reality' lol).
:ahhh: I so can't wait. I made a list and if everyone releases this year that's supposed to and they're all solid I'll have seventeen candidates for AOTY ;_; I've already jettisoned one lol
Why did everyone's schedules have to match up in a manner that's so expensive for me?
The more I listen to Ultraviolence the more I think I prefer it to Born to Die. Vocally and thematically it works for me, and I find it all so much more romantic (in the artistic sense) and evocative. There are some duds, but there were duds on BTD as well. Paradise is still the best, but that's an EP so it doesn't count.
Oh, fuck off, you have to buy the entire Fault in Our Stars soundtrack to get Boom Clap or wait until 20th July? I hate how single releases in the UK seem to work.
I totally thought Paradise was super boring outside of Ride, American and Cola. Everything else just felt like 100% BTD outtakes.

Yawn. It just jumped to that because of EW's score, a publication known for giving positive reviews to just about everyone.

So on a scale of -10 to -1, how trash is the new J-Lo alber?
Not sure I'm prepared to subject my ears to it.

Really? I loved how it felt completely fresh, and it's so lovely to listen to. The themes and lyrics are in the same vein, but UV proves that LDR will be recycling that sort of thing until the end of time, only with stronger writing. There's a quirk to BTD's sound that really grates after a while that wasn't there in Paradise's production. Maybe because Paradise is more acoustic? Idk. Bel Air is gorgeous and will probably always be my favourite Lana song.
so piss off you wanker, go play Destiny, it's the only good thing your PSBore will have for a loooong timel
More 'big' artists should try doing EPs. Paradise and The Fame Monster are my favourites of their respective artists. Then again, idk, they're not even EPs, lol, eight track behemoths. They're in the weird mini-album section. Do It Again is about the same length-wise as well, if not track number wise.

I thought I had avoided Becky G's curse, but it seems as though she caught up with me.
I now have one of the worst colds of my entire life.

Some rain a few hours ago, but it was nothing out of the ordinary. Midlands. It seems that it always rains after sunny days. I love the rain, I would hate to live in a country without it. Or maybe it's Stockholm Syndrome. Idk.
Apparently QUEEN OF IRELAND Roisin Murphy is back in the studio!? She released that Italian language EP recently but I didn't realise she was doing an album too. Make that eighteen potential albums this year, although I'm hoping she can wait until 2015 at this point. Robyn + Roisin for 2015 domination pls. (I'm happy to have connected with someone from the Emerald Isle for the sake of my heritage, even if it's not my Grandad's fave Enya)
Also some hew named Marina Diamandis, I thought she'd given up

The worst part is that it was like this last year too. Two Lana Del Ferreira summers in a row?
