I'd love it if the whole thing was a continuous, one-hour slowed down, chopped 'n' screwed post-vaporwave collage.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I have images of @ZenGiraffe off his box on crack desperately refreshing the Spotify artist page.

This is basically true

 

[Loufoque]

She hates her fans (justifiably) and hates Chromatica.

 

[Soldi]

Is Jark banned yet?

 

[Jark]

well that's it. I'm officially JANCELLED.

 

[Beverley]

well that's it. I'm officially JANCELLED.

DESERVED!

I mean, the way you PLAYED with my heart!

 

[Jark]

@Jark can stay if he enters A Song For Moopy

fine, fine. j'accepte le ban.

 

[Jark]

I'd love it if the whole thing was a continuous, one-hour slowed down, chopped 'n' screwed post-vaporwave collage.

I'd love it if the whole thing GOT RELEASED.

 

[Jark]

my final statement on the matter. raw, unscripted, live from Babylon.

 

[Tisch]

Lying, then FORCING us to listen to THAT. I just can't.

 

[Pingu]

OH JUST FUCKING BAN IT.

 

[Diddy]

I never thought I’d see the day, Jark not following through on something!

 

[ZenGiraffe]

OH JUST FUCKING BAN IT.

If this post reaches a SINGLE LIKE I will ban him.

 

[Pingu]

If this post reaches a SINGLE LIKE I will ban him.

That’s not fair, you KNOW I haven’t had a like since 2019.

a negative react emoji also amounts to 5 anti-likes.

still a superb pop record. does it possess the towering highs of Future Nostalgia, or the attention to detail and genre-referential excellence of What's Your Pleasure? no. is it her masterpiece? also no.

but it's extremely solid front to back, listenable without skips, has plenty of monster hooks, sensational VOX, and a sense of variety and propulsion that keeps things moving at a very rapid pace. it's almost over too soon.

in short, maybe not wanted people wanted, perhaps also not what Gaga herself wanted, but I've used and abused and will continue to do so.

with Chromatica: The Remix, out Friday August 27th.

towering highs of Future Nostalgia

 

[Jark]

 

[Beverley]

i mean, it's amazing. but as i always say, she tinkers too much with her work. judging from some of the demos, there is an edgier, more sonically interesting, potentially more thrilling (omg, is that even PoSsIbLe?!) album out there.

I think this is mostly the fault of BloodPop. from what we know it sounds like she turned up to guide the songwriting and then mostly let the producers shape the sound of the album. it was definitely going in one direction, but BloodPop kept bringing more people into the studio. too many cooks etc.

in the final mixes you can barely hear the 90s house references they claimed were a huge influence, for example.

Ban deserved just for THIS

 

[RJN]

Ban deserved just for THIS

But he's right.

Future Nostalgia is so much better than Future Nostalgia. I like Chromatica but its not even one of her best albums

 

[Iguana]

Future Nostalgia is so much better than Future Nostalgia.

Quite difficult to argue with this logic, to be fair

Yeah, I agree. I think it's quite a telling sign that BloodPop talked about having to study 90s dance and house in order to incorporate the references. Clearly the other producers had a better idea of what they were doing. It's like he smoothed out all the edges.

But it was nonsensical

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Bloodpop does not know when this will be released.

 

[Iguana]

That's OK because @Jark does

 

[Jark]

I do. coming 27th August... on Chromatica.

unfortunately you sorry bunch of Earthlings do not know how many hours, days or weeks we are behind CHR time.
