People hated every single album for a year after release and then pretended to have loved it when the next one released so that they can shit on the new one in comparison

I mean at the time lover had her best (daylight, false god) and worst (me, iftye) songs. I think showgirl has good songs but nothing amazing to make up for like, eldest daughter

almost everythings been hated on at first but when u set aside the lyrics themselves, the CONTENT of these songs (except Babylon) is just not up to par with her usual depth

Oh yea i remember that, i just wasn’t thinking that far back lol. I think people only started looking at lover favorably in midnights? I do think some of the hate was amplified bc of rep and using Me! as the lead single

And midnights wasn’t well loved until ttpd and then when ttpd came out it was apparently terrible but when showgirl released people started treating it like a lost art

Idk, I honestly think Pink Clouding is kinda on par, maybe a bit clunky, expecting if you aren’t familiar with pink cloud syndrome and the grey rock method but making a reference to those two things in a damn pop song is pretty impressive, lol. And that first verse is pretty good. And patient zero is pretty simple metaphor wise but I think it has some depth within its topic.

To me Cleveland is just like an on the nose sorta clunky kinda cringe song thats pretty much just a “im happy so fuck y’all” I don’t really take it to seriously sense it’s not trying to be this poetic master piece, I just take it as a very explicit statement piece, lol.

Yeah but it just doesn’t sound good sonically no matter what the message is in my opinion

Cleveland sounds like 3 different songs badly (imo) mushed together.
