More pop songs need to start with STEAM TRAINS

 

[Jark]

I like the production on that but the vocal melodies are a bit boring/annoying. excited for the single!

That track sounds very like a Prince song. Very good and excited for the album.

 

[Jark]

second single out tomorrow - let's hope this one is more exciting

 

[funky]

Dancing On The Wall is one of my favourite songs of the year so far

 

[dUb]

“I know how to hurt myself on you” is such a good lyric

YAY FOR A NEW SONG

 

[FetchFugly]

I like the outro but after a couple of listens So What doesn't exactly scream stand out single:



Definitely prefer Dancing on the Wall at the moment.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

So What is EXCELLENT

It just tickles my brain

 

[dUb]

The Outro is TREMENDOUS! The rest I like, but it doesn't scream single and video treatment

 

[dUb]

There’s a new song everyone

 

[Jark]

quite cringe verses. and not a good song overall. what's going on? Katie sounds half asleep on every chorus we've heard so far.

 

[dUb]

I really like it, and So What has grown on me loads

 

[FetchFugly]

So What has grown on me too. The new one sounds instantly familiar but also a bit different for them.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

There’s a new song everyone

 

[dUb]

Album is out, let’s go lesbians

 

[FetchFugly]

Oh good, I didn't realise this was out today.

 

[dUb]

Oh wow I love On Call

 

[dUb]

The cheesy clapping breakdown in Mary Jane is another personal highlight. Girl’s Girl also great.

Loving my first listen well done @MUNA

 

[dUb]

Oh wow I love On Call

Iiiiiiiiiii'm on call, should you set yourself on fire
Iiiiiiiiiii'm on call, should you get struck with desire
You got my number should you need anything at all
I'll make myself REAl available

Painfully relatable

 

[FetchFugly]

Fuck she's non-monogamous

The new songs are great. I think Mary Jane is my initial pick.

 

[funky]

Some good stuff on here from a first listen!

 

[dUb]

TOUR!

 

[dUb]

Some good stuff on here from a first listen!

Remember I tried to get you into them in Dublin, glad it worked

 

[FetchFugly]

That On Call key change

And they really GO IN on Big Stick.

 

[Jark]

- Eastside Girls is SO much more like it it's giving What I Want x Home By Now but if you're gonna pilfer, take from the classics.
- On Call is quite nice, if slight
- Big Stick slaps!
- Girl's Girl is a MUNA song I've heard many times before...
- Why Do I Get a Good Feeling - i'm getting Runner's High, but less emotive. which is a theme across this album.
- Buzzkiller - the best thing here? it's a classic MUNA closer and finally something really just gorgeous.

I maintain that everything I'm hearing here they've done better before and this will be their least essential album. but it's also better than expected.

 

[dUb]

My favourite kind of MUNA is Big Chorus MUNA and there's so many of those on here. Loads of lovely bridges too.

It's a skipless album for me

 

[dUb]

It is probably missing an emotional belter à la Stayaway/Taken/Never/Home By Now though

Maybe on the Deluxe

 

[PercyPig]

Seen them at the weekend and now I love them and I love A LOT on this album

Their bassist is also a fucking man meat machine (not a lesbian).
