i should have listened to myself months ago when i said “i love learning but being a student is bad for my mental health” because the last 2.5 weeks have really proved it to be true

update: after several days of trying to re-align myself, i’ve accepted that i shouldn’t let myself feel like this and sent an email to the advisor asking for options to drop the course

anywayyyyy we’re allowed to have opinions and maybe it’ll be a sleeper album for me but for now i’m not adding any of these to my main playlist

like the statement (paraphrasing) that the album was written in one of her happiest moments of life and that reflects in the sound?…i don’t hear it…

also like storytelling and lyric-wise i don’t think any of these songs thematically add to her body of work. only expand on existing themes, and not in a way that felt exciting or fun of particularly creative to me

like, do I have a different definition of pop music than most of ya’ll because none of these get my heart racing!!! that’s what good pop music should make me do!!

okay yeah in a third listen and reading some reviews i’m just ?????

okay actually on a second listen i’m realizing i was promised pop bangers and dance tunes and this is….not that…
