[Dark Carnival]

HI LOVES!

 

[Dark Carnival]

I'm going in!

 

[Dark Carnival]

Come on, meet me on the dancefloor

 

[Dark Carnival]

I Feel So Free reminds me of my trip to San Francisco and I love it so much.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Good For The Soul! Violins! She's cute.

 

[Dark Carnival]

One Step Away goes one step further into mixing dance and classic instruments, nice.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

08 - My Sins Are My Savior

I don't speak French but I can if you like. Not hating this at all! 08 Inst 07 Vox

03 - Betrayal

...oh.

05 - The Test

I'm going to say something I never thought possible. This would be better SLOWER. This should absolutely have leaned into the ethereal elements it has.

01 - L.E.S. Girl

...Jesus Fucking Christ

WORST ALBUM CLOSER SINCE DIE WITH A SMILE

 

[Dark Carnival]

Ugh, Sabrina now

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I enjoyed this more than I expected from the singles! A perfectly cromulent album!

 

[Dark Carnival]

Ugh, Sabrina now

That said, it sits very nicely in the album as an ALBUM TRACK.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Danceteria really sounds likes a classic Madonna song, besides the obvious similarities and references.

 

[lolly]

Betrayal and The Test were the weaker tracks for me, but that may be due a little to fatigue (I think about 40 - 45 minutes is my ideal album length) and my listening environment also changed.

I'm going to hold off listening again until I can do it in its entirety at home, on speakers rather than headphones.

 

[Jark]

I love the cadence of the verses on Danceteria. she sounds SO GOOD!!! I love that she said she wrote the scribbled the lyrics down and found a melody overnight. probably not true but we adore the lore.

 

[Debbie Jellinsky]

01 - L.E.S. Girl

...Jesus Fucking Christ

WORST ALBUM CLOSER SINCE DIE WITH A SMILE

What, are you nuts?

 

[Dark Carnival]

Read My Lips is a welcome change of style, I like where it's going! Not 100% convinced with the vox.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Oh! It's gone latin, ok.

 

[Dark Carnival]

(still on board)

 

[Dark Carnival]

SHUT YOUR MOUTH

 

[Debbie Jellinsky]

Danceteria is like a blend of Outside (not just because of the bathroom video), Vogue and Baby Shark. Will this become a hit for her? I hope so.

 

[GNL]

Later I took my 96 year old grandmother to Woolworths and as I wheeled her through the double doors she shouted

"Hide the cocaine!"

to rapturous applause from the staff and other customers

 

[lolly]

L.E.S. Girl is straight into the pantheon of great Madonna album closers for me.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

What, are you nuts?

It's UNLISTENABLE!

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Baby Shark

 

[Dark Carnival]

What's going on on Everything?

 

[win_the_game]

It's UNLISTENABLE!

It really is about time we fed you into a wood chipper.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Listening to Love Sensation within the context of the album makes me realise it has really grown on me! Again, good album track but I don't care about her as a single.

 

[Jark]

What's going on on Everything?

you don't fuck with it?

 

[Dark Carnival]

you don't fuck with it?

it's not okay!

 

[Debbie Jellinsky]

it's not okay!

What did you just say?

 

[Dark Carnival]

MOVING ON! Love Without Words.

 

[Dark Carnival]

A temple of SWEAT indeed

 

[Dark Carnival]

I'm not going to even bother checking what you lot think of BIZARRE, that's the album HIGHLIGHT right there!

 

[Dark Carnival]

OMG SCHOOL

 

[ZenGiraffe]

The pleasure to have in class:

OMG SCHOOL

 

[Dark Carnival]

Love the sauna/after party/backroom mood shift

 

[Dark Carnival]

HAND ME SOME POPPERS/KET

 

[Dark Carnival]

I'm not going to even bother checking what you lot think of BIZARRE, that's the album HIGHLIGHT right there!

Scrap that, School is the highlight
