Halsey - Manic

[JeremySpears]

[Tansike]

First spin is done and I really enjoyed it. It's not as amazing as "hopeless fountain kingdom" so far, but it flows better as a whole. Kinda similar like the "Revival"/"Rare" situation for me.

Clear standout from the songs we didn't know so far was actually "Alanis' Interlude" on this first spin. Love Alanis' part!

[IVyoncé]

I actually only like 3 songs I think.

This looks so pretty

[Tansike]

^ Oh, looks really nice! I already ordered mine, hope it arrives soon

85 on Metacritic based on 8 reviews so far

Get that acclaim, Halsey!

[spiritboy]

This is a difficult album to get into

[oasisbobo]

I've never listened to Halsey before but was curious about this album. Listened to it this weekend and absolutely love it.

[Loose]

I really like You Should Be Sad. It’s quite compelling.

[Tansike]

Got my physical copy and wow, what a disappointment! I expected a nice booklet with some great pictures, but there's not even a booklet. Only a sheet with some lines written on it and the thank you notes. That's it. Ugh...

[Loose]

3am is even better!

sadly the album as a whole falls flat for me. I bet she had a concept for it. However, I don’t get it.

so far it’s a mediocre album with 2 outstanding songs for me.

[dylonj]

I hate to admit it but this album is really good, definitely her best. I think Nightmare could’ve been put in just after 3am

Right, I don’t see why Nightmare was excluded.

83 on Metacritic based on 12 reviews

"hopeless fountain kingdom" has a score of 66 based on 10 reviews while "Badlands" isn't on Metacritic. So glad how critically acclaim this is. The previous album already deserved the same, but better late than never!

[dylonj]

Fingers crossed she gets at least A nomination for a Grammy.

[JeremySpears]

Maybe she did sumn

[Tansike]

Ugh, the second part of "Forever ... (is a long time)" is just so beautiful. One of the best moments on "Manic" for me

[Mugen]

Maybe she did sumn

She deleted the tweet since someone on her team told her that Pitchfork's offices are located in the One World Trade Center building in NYC.

[westhammer]

I like this, it’s cohesive, Still Learning is my favourite. My problem with the album is that a lot of the songs are so short that it’s very difficult to appreciate them individually and for me it’s a major issue

[JeremySpears]

[dylonj]

Yikes! I hate that make up!

[JeremySpears]

[Loose]

3am is my most played song of 2020 so far. I am loving the bad ass energy of it.

[Tansike]

The survivor for "Manic" has started - please join if you enjoyed the album

[oasisbobo]

Manic is one of my favourite albums of the year!
