GUYS...if you know anything about me you know i do not play about this band. it all started when i saw them live in september of 2024. my insane concert depression put me into a coding frenzy leading to one of my most impressive carrds of all time click here! this is the first release i've been around as a fan for and as much as i couldn't get behind their rebrand at first (quarters of change you will always be missed), the music makes up for it. even though i want to remain niche, they deserve a listen! okay now for my actual album review...please scroll :3
i remember when they first released star/plummet i was having my end of semester tweak out. plummet remains the best song off the album and i won't be convinved otherwise. jasper gee harris i love your brain. it is actually probably #3 in my top quarters songs (#1 goes to asphalt obviously...heaven bound is currently at #2) ANYWAYS headlight/perfect word weren't as strong of a pre-release (IMO) but the lyrics to perfect word are beautiful and i love listening to headlight on the subway at night. radio silence is definitely my 2nd favorite of the pre-releases and what i assumed would be in my top #3 from the album but i was quickly proven wrong. when the actual album came out i was on my way to GINZA (i am studying abroad this semester in japan, for context lol) to see my mother who had just flown in so it was a bit of a rushed first listen. HOWEVER gimmesomemore stood out to me the most probably cause i listen to such loud music. the lyrics for do you believe in me really resonate with me. i have been a try again benjamin defender since the beginning ben roter i will never forget you saying you liked my outfit after the show i went to. your voice is amazing and i hope you know how much you deserve your flowers. MOVING ON my #2 after plummet (as of now...almost 3 weeks since the album came out) is comet. ben's voice stands out the most on this track and i associate it so heavy with my time in colorado last summer (estes park you have not seen the last of me), i'm not sure what #3 would be but supersonic has grown on me a lot, i love the lyrics and the guitar. my previous #3 was what is fate? such a beautiful song i can't even put it into words how many times i have listened to the last minute of the song. if i had to pick my least favorite song (i'm sorry), it would be EZ. i have nothing bad to say about it i just think the rest of the tracks are a lot better. it's kinda hard to know what's going on half the time when my only source of social media is twitter but it sounds like angel is the title and the song off this album they're pushing the most. while not one of my favorites, not cause i dislike it but simply cause there are soo many other hits off this album, the music video is soo visually appealing i am obssessed. side note atila you are so pretty and i love your art. and watching you drum. i love your hands. OKAY! i haven't been a fan for much time considering how long quarters has been around (i was 12 when the band formed hello), but it is so fun to see how much their music has grown and how they're putting out art that (i think) really represents the three of them as people. i hope this isn't the end of the world is an amazing name for an album (and a great song!!), i loveee the concept and the artistic direction the band seems to be taking, i can't wait to see them live again when i am back in the states. i promise i won't write this much for every review and thank you for baring with me whoever has read this far. any tongue that rises up against quarters shall fall, thank you and goodnight (it's the middle of the day and i have class in 45 minutes)
OKAYYY i discovered underscores through being a jane remover fan so i am fairly new to her music but MUSIC is actually the best song ever. probably one of my top releases from last year i will neverrrr shut up about this song. #1 off the album, lyrics are amazing, cover art is wonderful, last 30 seconds are arguably worth a grammy wow wow wow
ANYWAYS as for the rest of the album...starting with the pre-releases, do it is suchh a fun song i love watching april dance she is so cute and the yves remix is delicious i still cannot believe they collabed
tell me (u want it) is the only song i don't really like I'M SORRYYY i'm not gonna skip it if it comes on but i will not be putting it on. okay back to giving april her well-deserved flowers: i think my favorites of the new tracks are the peace. "i don't speak unless i'm spoken to, i don't smoke unless you're smoking too" LIKE I LOVE YOUUU. she gets it. the beat scratches my brain. AND ALSO LOVEFIELD highly underrated track the buildup is phenomenal and the lyrics are hilarious (/pos). "it'll be winter soon and i'll be twilight pale". also #florida mention ^_^ i agree with headphoneemoji that hollywood forever should have been a single the lyrics are #AWESOME and the drop is so catchy it's always in my head. sent innuendo (i get u) to a boy but i don't think he gets it like i do (haha get it) beat is also really catchy and the lyrics are so fun april you genius. i adoreee the lyrics to bodyfeeling but the song itself is a bit forgettable, simply compared to the rest of the tracks (#IMO) i will not die on this hill though i might just need to listen to it more. wish u well is slowly climbing my ranking it is a beautiful listen and the lyrics really resonate with me i fear. "she looks just like me, in a way it's beautiful, i'm wherever you go" and "if i'm being honest with myself i don't want closure, i want to feel the gravity of losing you" LIKE YOU'RE JOKINGGGGG anyways april has looked soo good this promotion cycle i still can't believe the headphone hair is fake. people calling this album tame on twitter need to get over themselves, she is clearly having fun and finally getting more mainstream attention!! underscores i will be tuning in for whatever is up next. i ended up writing sm more than i intended oops
lin out
first things first i want to say i am not as into slayyyter as ik some people are but i'd listen to her and ayesha erotica when i used to make the 20 minute drive to my high school everyday and convince myself i was hot shit even though i was a virgin and couldn't handle my alcohol. she was everything i wanted to be. she does whatever she wants and i admire that. also she IS hot shit. ANYWAYS
unfortunately i like the pre-releases more than the songs released with the album. i lowkey always feel this way though i might just need to let the album simmer a bit more. i remember when beat up chanel$ came out i was in colorado and i wasn't a fan. but now I LOVEEE ITTT like yes i want a cigarette too! i was a fan of cannibalism! from the beginning, i feel these lyrics in my #heart. crank is probably my favorite off the album, i think the general public agrees with me on that. the lyrics are SOO FUN and i can't wait to be in my new apartment this fall getting ready to go out with this on it is such a good song to dance to. speaking of DANCE... this song i also did not like at first SORRY but it's a repeat on my airbuds now the title is true to the song. old technology might surpass crank it gets better each time i listen to it. huge fan of what slayyyter does with her voice and again, fun lyrics, danceable song, what's not to like!! ready speed run review go: out of the new tracks gas station stood out to me the most. i like the lyrics and for her it's a slower song but i'm a fan!! yes goddd is very loud which usually i like i think i just need to give this one another chance. i am a heavy enjoyer of the lyrics to unknown loverz and the beat is nice. i forgot what old fling$ sounds like probably my least favorite off the album, also feel this way about $t.loser. bare with me here. I LOVEEEE i'm actually kinda famous and what is it like, to be liked? slayyyter you are for the girls. i don't keep up with her outside of listening to new music when i get the spotify notification but i think brittany murphy. is the title she's promoing with? i could be wrong. it's fun but i think most of the other tracks are stronger. idk how slayyyter's fanbase is like please don't come for me. she is a popstar diva and hopefully this release will get her out of the khia asylum
okay update i feel i was too harsh so i relistened this morning, yes goddd and brittany murphy. definitely growing on me. also i retract what i said about $t.loser but not old fling$ #mytruth
BROOOOO i got into tiffany day cause glaive interacted with her on twitter and let me tell you i have never been happier to discover a new artist. the pre release rollout for this album was top tier imo. pretty4u, tell me what i did, and breakup are all middle tier songs off halo for me. i was in loveee the first time i heard them but i have been listening to the newer tracks a lot more!! american girl has grown on me immensely since the album release for some reason i think this is one of halo's strongest songs. same la's lyrics are beautiful and the lyric videos of tiffany on the beach are so cute this girl is adorable. i personally am a huggeee fan of how she promotes her songs with the videos of her dancing and the lyrics on the screen in that fancy font. i just think it is so fun why can't women have fun anymore!! she is getting sm backlash on twitter over anything. a corny spotify bio that was clearly satire WHO CARES you all genuinely just hate to see a girl in her 20s be successful and have a good time. and i personally could not care less about her stealing someone else'a aesthetic nothing is original nowadays. ANYWAYS start over remains my favorite song off the album i actually will neverrrr get tired of the lyrics and the beat it is my #summit song.
as for the rest of the album the transition from everything i've ever wanted to doit4me is unmatched. no better way to start the album imo. i relate to the lyrics of everything i've ever wanted so much and the visuals released with this song as promo are stunning tiffany is so beautiful and so is this song. copycat is the weakest off this album tbh it is kind of forgettable compared to the rest. i knew no luck was gonna be one of my favorites when she posted a sample on twitter i loveee the promo vids for this song they are so cute and while the lyrics are a little corny the beat makes up for it. look up has grown on me a lot, probably in my top 3 of the new tracks i think the lyrics are superb and the beat is exteremly addicting. lots of people love farewell toledo but it's not one of my favorites. i'm sorry. i don't skip it when it comes on though i just prefer more upbeat tracks. despite that, it's not like that anymore is also in my top 3 i could write paragraphs about how much i resonate with this song the lyrics are beautiful tiffany's voice is so catchy i'm sorry this is just glaze atp i loveee when girls make music like this. keep it up!!!
i wish i was on the tiffany train a lot sooner but i'm glad to be here as she finally seems to be getting her (well-deserved) flowers. i love music and i love pretty women
some disclaimers i LOVED midnight sun and the opinions that follow are based off one singular listen. i think remix albums are hard because i'm so used to hearing the originals that i cherish so much anything new just sounds off. to start off with my criticisms which i have many...midnight sun with pinkpantheress is never going to be stateside with zara larsson i'm sorry this is arguably my least favorite remix. however i will say the expectations i have considering how much i love pinkpantheress and how good midnight sun is would be hard to meet. i like kehlani and i think she was a good choice for blue moon, however i think the og is better. this is going to be a common theme of this review and again, i have only listened to the remixes once vs. the 3095739 times i have listened to the original album. considering tyla and shakira are the two biggest features (besides pinkpantheress ofc) these remixes are (IMO) some of the most disappointing and forgettable. tbf i didn't like eurosummer that much to begin with. however i was a hot & sexy fan and i realllyyyy liked the song tyla and zara did before the remix album came out, i wish i liked this remix more i will try to give it another chance :) the ambition is my least favorite off midnight sun and the remix is boring. i'm sorry. i'm usually a madison beer defender but i did not like this one at all.
okay now for some positive remarks i am a pretty ugly fan despite what most of twitter has to say about this song. i liked the remix!! i thought it was very fitting for this song, very fun and danceable i have no complaints about this. I LOVEEEE girl's girl. this is probably the best remix. at least top 2. i am such a big fan of how the lyrics were changed. better than the original fs *claps* i think crush og version is a great song (one of my favorites off midnight sun) but i found i really enjoyed the remix as well!! i had never heard of eli before but i love her part on the song and could see myself listening to some of her solo music in the future once i have time lol. i was not expecting saturn's return to be like a 6 minute remix but i also am a hugeee fan of this one. this is my favorite song off the og midnight sun so i was a little scared for what the remix plans for this were but i'm a fan!! not as good as the og but that's a high bar to reach anyways...i almost put puss puss in the dislike section but i liked robyn on that one charli xcx song and i think her verse here is quite fun. i didn't like the original puss puss that much but i honestly think the remix makes it better. overall i was expecting a lot more from this remix album but i love zara larsson and her decision to make it an all girls feature, i think she has big things coming up in her career now that she's got her flowers. i will still be tuning in
first things first i have only listened to this album fully once i am about to listen to it again when i drive to the gym. so take everything i say lightly although i don't think i have anything bad to say lol. a glaive and kurtains album has been up in the air since forever. i have been a fan of every song these two have collabed on some of my favorites being uk bitches and crowbars. i like both their solo music and think their friendship is quite beautiful. i am a big fan of these two anything bad said about their music is like gore of my comfort character. when the troubles came out i had just gotten back from japan, this song is exactly what i needed. it is probably because i have listened to it more than the rest of the album but it's definitely one of my favorites off this project. i loveeee kurtains verse especially and the music video is insanely gorgeous who knew europe could be so pretty (this is a joke)
based off first listen weston super mare is in my top 3. adding it to my running playlist and i would put this on if i had aux with no regrets. half two is getting a lot of love on twitter i think i need to listen to this one a few more times and read the lyrics cause i didn't really know what was going on. but it sounded nice!! I LOVEEEEE THE BAND i have listened to this a few times especially after the music video came out which don't even get me started on how much i love the music video. i'm being so serious one of my favorite music videos from this year. like. i love it. and i love this song it almost makes me wish i didn't quit cigarettes. or should i say f
yaya touré and flyen didn't stick out to me as much, again i need to listen to the whole thing again and reupdate (?) my thoughts. as much as i don't prefer "slower" songs i am a big fan of spinning around i would also put this on in the car #guiltfree. i am officially an old freight train interlude defender ik this isn't actually a song i just think it is so beautiful wow i can't believe cowboys are real. the front is in my top 3 kurtains sounds amazinggg on this i love love love love the lyrics it is such a fun feel-good song wow song of the summer is already here you guys. fr. i didn't like let's link up and die as much this song is very old glaiveish. again i need to listen to it again i just feel stronger about the other songs no shade. unca/composure might be #4 off the album for me especially the /composure part this is going to be on repeat wow i love my life i'm so happy to be alive at this time. that's how this song makes me feel. sorry nothing i have to say is very profound i just am so happy to be a fan of these two and everything they got going on in the music scene rn. i love my new glaive shirt and i hope to see him on tour again this year (?). and wow i'm 21 now oh to drink a beer with kurtains...what a guy...the revolver music video is beautiful btw. big fan. i've actually been typing for like 30 mins oh my goodness gracious who is reading all this. crisis is a great song to end the album and while god save the three is no florence fields or y'all it is certainly up there in my ranking of projects #glurtains have put out. i'm so excited to listen to this in colorado next week GOD BLESS also i love this album cover a lot. goodbye

saw some random person on twitter talk about this song and decided to tune in...#worthit this song is sooo catchy and i listened to it like 15 times in a row the first time i heard it. the lyrics are fun i love fun music and i WILL be tuning in to the rest of slayr's discography. i cannot believe he's only 18 and making music this good. i LOVEEE his twitter his tweets are so funny it makes me very happy he's a fellow underscores fan. the news just came out that he's opening for yeat on tour which will probably do wonders for his career and if keeps this sound up then he deserves it!! that's all i have to say thank you for reading and go give this song a listen you won't regret it!
