    as someone who values emotional impact above all else in music, and someone who is very neurodivergent with various mental health struggles, this album is exactly what I needed it to be

      That's actually an interesting way to look at music, and perfectly puts into words how I listen to music. It's the emotional impact for me too, not the mathematical perfection of arrangements or cleanliness of mixing and mastering.
      Great comment!

      Right behind you on this one. Couldn't disagree more with the review, I understand the criticism, but I think it's an album with a very personal appeal, that some people might feel it more relatable than others. I absolutely loved it.

      @jessicasiniscalchi3647 3 месяца назад +6

      Exactly. I thought her entire album was very cleverly interconnected and maybe that isn’t obvious. she just gets “it “ in a way that’s really relatable. I haven’t felt that seen in a while. Maybe the people who are not vibing with it don’t get that- Lucky for them.
      Whack’s an amazing lyricist which she has demonstrated on ig, but this album wasn’t for that. It was for us

    Great review! I feel like your interview with her last week put you in a certain state of mind to be ultra precise about your thoughts. I think it's great, you aren't always this clear with your feedback. You put it in a way that even if I was the artist or I really loved the record I could understand your gripes with it and respect them on some level.

  • @mobilemobilegames6578

    I understand what you mean but i think the minimalist production is tierras style. I mean its always been her style. She wants to out perform the beat and production and she does. Melodies and sounds and styles r awesome. Idk why nobody talks about X. Thats my favorite song shes ever come out with. Whole album is great ill gove an 8.5 but X, accessible, ms behave, moovies, and 27 club r all 10s

    Nah, this album is phenomenal. Not just the lyricism but the tunes, which yes are minimal but hooky and dynamic, and I never felt like the songs were under-cooked in the context of the entire album for the exact reason you gave; every song is an amazing idea and is refreshingly different from the last, and is either a sweet blip that avoids overstaying its welcome or does double down with some kind of switch like Acessible or Imaginary Friends, which together are where the album really takes off and doesn't stop until just before the closing two tracks. If I have any problem with the songs, its the tune at the core of for example Invitation or Snake Eyes, but certainly not the length of them.
    I can understand why you want more out of each track but I don't really see the need or even think it'd inherently make for a better album. The songs last as long as they need to.

    I’ve listened to the album all the way through 5 or 6 times this weekend because I had some long road trips but it’s a very easy listen and really solid. It builds on Whack World and doesn’t seem like Tierra whack has changed really at all melody or rap wise in 6 years. Just seems like she’s still a solid artist. Some of the songs are still too short tho. I enjoy it:)

    I completely agree with this review and its always been the problem I have with tierra's music. She has personality and talent in spades, yet she can never seem to channel it into a really killer song. She has a couple of bangers that I'll still throw on every now and then but for the most part her music has little to no replay value for me. And this is coming from someone who struggles with my mental health on a daily basis, unfortunately the themes and messaging just arent enough to carry the album :/ I still have a lot of respect for her though and I genuinely do think she has the potential to release an amazing project in the future if she can hook up with the right producers.

    • @shadycatz85
      @shadycatz85 4 месяца назад

      @@joekratman1872 i agree with you, and i think it's for the same reason. in those songs she goes harder with more classic style rap and very clever lyricism and ideas around production. the ideas in her other stuff are often good, but the tracks themselves aren't attention holding unless you're a chill vibes kinda person.

      ​@@itsMasonMcCulloch I would say just watch the video for Whack World first. It's ~15mins and each song is 1 minute and they all have music videos. It's kinda a visual album project, but gives you a good idea of her style and how each song is pretty unique.
      "Unemployed" & "Gloria" are probably her most accessible songs if you are a HipHop fan. If you want to hear some of her songs that aren't straight hiphop, then check out "27 Club" & "Dolly."

    If you think the tracks are too short..listen again! We are living in a world where we lose attention often. It is what it is. This seems like me to me a way to say what you want to say and get out of the way,.
    Why do so many Nirvana songs repeat the first verse on the third? Because the record industries told them their song wasn't long enough. I am just hypothesizing here but I bet Kurt didn't want to do that.
    The beats are incredibly clean and concise. Not everything has to have a climax. They hit hard, minimally.
    Tierra is a wordsmith, artist, musician, actor, and magician.
    I cry to her tracks. I feel the profound sense of creativity and collaboration with whomever she is working with.
    This album was refreshing and uplifiting to my musical ears, my heart and, my soul.
