One of Miley's strengths is that she can be self-reflective. Yes she disowns her old work, but she is constantly thinking about who she is and she unveils it to the world. It makes for really special writing

"So the mad man's in the big chair
And his heart's an iron vault
He says "If you can't make ends meet, honey, it must be your fault"
We all focus on the winners
And get blinded by their shine
Maybe caring for each other's just too 1969"

Miley said FUCK REPUBLICANS.

Those lyrics are SO good.

I do wish I could hear the beginning of Edge of Midnight (and Edge of 17) and not think of Bootylicious first :square:

I always used to be horribly disappointed when 'Bootylicious' would start playing at GAY ESTABLISHMENTS giving me false hope that they were going to drop some Stevie Nicks.
 
Stevie's vocal sounding a little...

...on Edge of Midnight. :eyes: I do LOVE it though. It's so STRAIGHT FACED but SO GAY AND RIDICULOUS!
 
It's no better or worse with Stevie really. Still just a brilliant song!

It was CRUEL to put her current vocals on a song with her 80s vocals.
 
This version of Heart of Glass is one of my favourite things of 2020. It's just magnificent.

I am not rating Heart of Glass. It is a good cover but I just would never choose it over the original
 
I've played her Heart of Glass so many times in the last month or two. fucking obsessed with the POWER and urgency of her VOCALS. her voice has grown into itself so beautifully. it's such a great live recording too, they captured every detail. the final truncated verse at 2:58 is such a little treat!

I always get SAD when it's over :D

Not as crazy about the Zombie cover. It's fine, but it was already a rock song, so while she did a good job, it doesn't feel like she brought anything to it.

I'm not familiar enough with the Cranberries' Zombie to have an opinion about it sadly. whatever, I've got culture gaps, it's cool.

I do think it's mildly less comfortable territory for her vocally, she's pushing it a bit hard, but she sounds gorgeous on the verses and the arrangement is LUSH!

You can rate it without saying it's better than the original though?

True. I would give it an 8, I think. I actually do like it much more in the context of the album. I think I just found it jarring the 2 other times I listened to it.

I actually didn't love anything I heard before this album, but it all works better as a whole for me, and it makes me really appreciate Midnight Sky, which I didn't get as much at first.

Amazing Album. Even the lowest points are still good, and she really made a cohesive album that I think I will return to a lot. I am giving it a 9, with the ability to grow to a 10 in the future.
 
a superb record. 8.5 from me for now with PLENTY of room to grow and potentially bloom into a classic.

thanks for joining gays!

Thanks again @Jark!

Good thing I have Covid so I can do this all day instead of going to work
 
Every time I hear the start of Gimme What I Want (two times so far) my brain goes straight to VERBALICIOUS :disco:

In general she's not my vibe but I enjoyed my first full listen. This is clearly a great body of work with a bad cover. My highlights are Angels Like You and especially High and Never Be Me.

BASICALLY THE RELATIVELY SLOW ONES
 
I'm not ready to rate yet. All I know is, I love it, I need 20 more listens and it's amazing and I love her so much.

That’s where I am. On my second listen and I’m loving it.
 
it's the album that Ashlee Simpson should have come back with.

"What the Fuck Do I Know" is a bit "str8 acting" for me but I enjoy the second half of the chorus... perhaps a grower.

7/10
 
08 "Plastic Hearts" - "I just wanna feeeeeel, I just wanna feel something...." is my favorite bit.

I really wanted an album of 80s torchlight stadium soft rock songs and I didn't quite get that, but I certainly got enough to find this a great album. It starts off decidedly average but really kicks in from Prisoner onwards. "High" is fucking phenomenal, probably the closest possibility of something eventually taking that 11 from "Midnight Sky". Her Americana tracks - where she mimics Stevie Nicks, Bonnie Raitt et al - are much stronger than her pop tracks.
 
MILEY INVASION on Spotify UK yesterday

Angels Like You also in at 50 on global with Plastic Hearts at 95. she's getting much bigger streams than I expected. Prisoner should be UK top 5 next week.
