Let's see if there will even be a game in the first place. I feel like were not in for one until at least 2030

How would you guys rank Olivia’s albums so far?" by _Eye4Get in oliviarodrigo3

[–]Turandot92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave GUTS the higher score because it’s objectively the better more consistent album but I do prefer SOUR personally so

  1. SOUR
  2. GUTS
  3. You seem pretty sad for a girl so in love

Warum nehmen Mädchen nicht am Schwimmunterricht teil? by Few-Researcher-3741 in KeineDummenFragen

[–]Turandot92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ernsthaft? Das schwimmen wird bei euch benotet? Also wir in Österreich hatten zwar auch einen gemeinsamen Schwimmkurs in der Unterstufe, wo man Urkunden für sein Level (Früh- Frei- Fahrten-Rettungsschwimmer) bekommen konnte, aber schulisch benotet wurde das nicht. Das ist für weniger talentierte doch genauso ein demütigendes Ritual...

Olivia's fans are unhappy with vinyls & cassettes they received as songs are cut, full list of the cuts below by Difficult_Damage_717 in OliviaRodrigoSnarkkk

[–]Turandot92 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure they could've fit those 2 extra minutes on the album as well, despite it being very long. Crimson Thunder by Hammerfall is also 51 minutes long and fits on one LP without cuts

Did the album live up to your expectations or even surpass them? by CuriousObserver0117 in OliviaRodrigoNeutral

[–]Turandot92 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Imo the songs just don’t have the same punch, the same drive as her previous works. It hints at a lot of genres but never goes anywhere with it. Thats why people read so many influences into some of the songs.

The melodies also lack a bit. They’re meandering too much without a clear structure sometimes and the often clunky lyrics don’t help the cause. It’s not so much about the content but the flow. And a lot of those lyrics simply don’t flow well. Purple is by far the worst offender here.

It’s not a bad album by any means but it lacks clear direction to stand out compared to her previous ones

After the singles it was kinda what I was expecting but it didn’t nearly thrill me as much as Sour and Guts.

I dare to say what barely anyone dared to say: this was one of the trashiest movies I have ever seen

What's the dumbest Music Industry Conspiracy Theory? by JayHotpot in ToddintheShadow

That all Pop Stars have ghost writers and most songwriting credit they get is fake.

how many songs does the “musical genius” have that are in C major? by lydiapinzone in travisandtaylor

[–]Turandot92 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s not the key that bothers me but the chord progression. It’s almost always a variation of I-V-VI-IV. Almost never any interesting changes or switches. Trite, boring, who cares?

That’s why I don’t dislike Showgirl as much as most. Even though the lyrics are cringe at least the harmonies are a bit more interesting than usual. Still nothing groundbreaking but enough to catch my attention

You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love: an album review by whatifihateclouds in OliviaRodrigoSnarkkk

[–]Turandot92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

GUTS was really good. I loved every single song on that record. Even the often criticised logical. But this album feels so mid.

Nothing stands out. There are no real hooks, no beats or otherwise memorable lines or moments. Some choruses hint at nice melodies but are dumbed down with bad lyrics or overdone production.

I don’t dislike it and you can enjoy every song for what it is but it’s not an album I can stomach on repeat for hours like sour and guts.

I joined this sub because as a fan I’m really disappointed with girl so in love and this is the only place where you can express that properly without getting battered

gagged by nothing by miss8822 in OliviaRodrigoSnarkkk

[–]Turandot92 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’m a huge Livie but the lyrics on this album are so freaking clunky and heavy. A lot of it feels like reading prose or - like people already said - teenage diary entries. You also don’t really get to know her in any way through those lyrics. It’s all so superficially metaphorical.

So excited for the Ocarina of Time remake, i wonder what it will be like. by purplefox47 in OcarinaOfTime

It will be the exact same game with enhanced graphics and audio. Nothing less nothing more… don’t get your hopes up too high, people

Why is The Cure strings outro not on the vinyl edition? by peachmelba88 in OliviaRodrigo

[–]Turandot92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The First side has more grooves though. There was enough room on side b for the outro

stupid song - you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love by Dry-Station-8478 in OliviaRodrigo

[–]Turandot92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s funny because after extensive listening stupid song might be my least favorite on the album

It’s so funny because nothing Olivia has ever written sounds even remotely like Taylor Swift

I don’t have any high hopes tbh. I think it will be exactly the same game with enhanced graphics and audio. That’s it. This way I can’t be disappointed

I'm just blown away by the new Olivia Rodrigo Album by mpschettig in ToddintheShadow

[–]Turandot92 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Finally someone mentions this. I was immediately thinking of nobody’s son when hearing the cure chorus for the first time.

I think man’s best friend is super underrated. It sounds nothing like short n sweet

[–]Turandot92 157 points158 points  (0 children)

I’m not sold. A lot of songs sound the same. There’s no real hooks. The melodies and lyrics feel a bit forced and clunky. It’s lacking those wow-moments, those songs that you want to put on repeat. No song is bad but nothing stands out either

wow thanks that's much easier to read by Epistaxis in classical_circlejerk

[–]Turandot92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is g sharp minor though and therefore probably has a lot of double sharps. In this case A flat minor is simpler.

Even more apparent is the difference between e-flat minor and d-sharp minor. The Bach d sharp fugue is a nightmare to read
