Mattymooz Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 Personally I thought Billies album was pretty average. Pretty stellar production but everything else was kinda meh (and some of the lyricism was real crap). Its not a bad pop album, but I dont think its gonna be a game changer like Pure Heroine/Born To Die were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The production is definitely the best thing about it, and I'm going to cut her a break when it comes to lyrics. She's still a child - only turned 17 in December. She won't be allowed to buy a drink at Glastonbury! Given she's not really lived yet, it's a bit much to expect her to deliver any stunning insights. I think she's doing just fine. The worst thing I can say is that she's a bit Tumblr and is going to appeal to the 'I've got depression, it's cool!', suicide-chic crowd. Again, hopefully that's just an age thing. I find her quite dislikeable in interviews I've seen, and it's evident she's come from a place of privilege (not her fault), so she's fallen instantly into the 'celebrity ugh' bucket, but fuck it - the album is good.

Mardy Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 Billie Eilish is very similar to Idles in that I’m sure it’s all good stuff, but it's not aimed at me, and nor should it be. Sometimes, you’ve just got to know when to retire gracefully. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean sure but there are plenty of other people at that age who have just done fine with lyrics. Pure Heroine was written when Lorde was 16, stuff like Leave (Get Out) by Jojo was written when she was 13 etc. Again it aint a bad album, but I don't think it deserves a lot of the praise I've seen it get (7.2 by Pitchfork, compared to Pure Heroine which got 7.3 etc). Personally I think all the pop debuts have fallen a little flat this year. Sigrids was the best imo, but nothing spectacular. I kinda forgot Maggie Rodgers released an album this year, Nina Nesbitt's was ll over the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetaKate Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 Finally got around to Billie Eilish... I wasnt expecting to love it and I do. It's interesting. Shes a literal infant though.. how does someone get there at such a tiny age. At 17 I was like a helpless lifeless mass of confusion. I dont even remember having an opinion or any feeling other than "ugh". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
