"The Secret of Us" - Gracie Abrams *FULL ALBUM STREAM*
Added 2024-07-10 19:43:40 +0000 UTChey hey! mid-week stream and we're back listening to another one y'all have been requesting - the new Gracie Abrams "The Secret of Us". Not as emotional as the first album,I'll say but I'll let the video say the rest. of course, my review is up on AOTY if you'd like to read that too. We're going to be stream Friday on twitch.tv/hthaze with a TON of new music-related stuff, like Billie on hot ones, and chicken shop, as well as the Kendrick Lamar MV for "Not Like Us" and just soooo much more. Hope to see y'all there!

2024-12-23 20:48:52 +0000 UTCI couldn’t pinpoint why this album didn’t work for me, it’s so cool you could pinpoint it so clearly and make it make sense! 🩷

2024-12-15 13:04:29 +0000 UTCThe funniest thing about watching this months later is wondering why it never went on YouTube, and then seeing the bit where Troy remembers Gracie found his channel 😂😂😂

2024-11-24 23:40:58 +0000 UTCdang this album grew on me and the deluxe tracks have been on repeat for me y’all are haters 😭

2024-11-20 08:29:36 +0000 UTCI Knew It, I Know You genuinely has me crying every time I hear it. I reported my best friend because of her substance abuse and she cut me off. I don’t feel for what I did but losing my best friend has hit me hard. This song gives me a good cry every time.

2024-10-18 14:27:58 +0000 UTCWhy does this feel like Troy pretending to be Fantano

2024-10-13 23:15:35 +0000 UTCWow her singing is grating

2024-09-22 22:24:32 +0000 UTCAll this to say, even when you dislike an album you help me love it more.
Shay
2024-09-04 22:24:52 +0000 UTCI’m eternally grateful that I don’t know enough about music to be discerning of it, but what I love about watching these listens is how songs that didn’t hook me can through your attention to the details. I never dislike music and because of you I like more of it.
Shay
2024-09-04 22:20:48 +0000 UTCMy music creation & composition teacher ( who’s also a producer ) said Free Now is some very good songwriting. For example that song changes a lot. It has a lot of different sections in the structure which keeps you interested. And personally I love a lot of songs on this album. It’s a lot of acoustic guitar and more simplistic songs which I get not everyone would love. Maybe that’s not a style you like which is completely fine. But I believe it’s still good songwriting. Also I love her vocals , I understand what you mean about them but I like the way it sounds.
Rose
2024-08-28 04:08:35 +0000 UTCI think Us is miles better than any of the other tracks, but also love Tough Love, Close to You & Free Now. The rest just get lost because there's too much similarity

2024-08-22 06:33:54 +0000 UTCi think everything you said was spot on, i don’t think you were hard on her at all. as someone who enjoys music almost as much as you, i think this album was a little bit of a let down, especially after hearing close to you and us with taylor, i thought this was going to blow me away and the first song was just like ouch… i really do love her but everything you said was correct 😅
Allie Grisham
2024-08-17 18:48:10 +0000 UTCThe “I’m glad I don’t know shit about music so I can enjoy this album” is a real mood listening to Troy sometimes. Like there are times I see Troy tear apart some of my truly favourite songs and I’m just nodding along like “everything you’ve said is correct 🥲” and then I can’t not notice those things ever again lol. And depending on the song sometimes I’ll continue to love it and sometimes I’ll never enjoy it the same again 😂

2024-07-30 01:28:15 +0000 UTCi also find myself coming back to the secret of us more often than her debut album. i think she has done a great job at creating more catchy choruses and melodies that stand out. i’ve also seen clips of her performing these songs live at acoustic shows and they sound much better to me. her songs also seem to go viral on tiktok & are heavily featured in edits (i saw one with 500k likes) which may contribute to the high charting success of the album. anyway i’m excited to see where her career goes and how she evolves.
sarah
2024-07-27 21:35:43 +0000 UTCi think gracie has great potential if she works with other producers like sam. her first two EPs were produced by her ex bf and it had a similar production style as “close to you.” i know she is emotionally tied to aaron and they are close friends but i hope for her third album she goes for a different sound. my favorites on this album are risk, i love you i’m sorry, close to you, and blowing smoke.
sarah
2024-07-27 21:26:46 +0000 UTCThis album was incredibly boring and I’m pretty sure I fell asleep partway through. The only saving “grace” was watching you and your honest opinion! Thanks for keeping it real and don’t let the haters get you down. There are people here who understand music is subjective and what works for one person does not work for another. Additionally, how crazy that people comment you didn’t like the music because of “you’re missing lore”? Pretty sure I loved Fleetwood Mac before I knew what Rumours was actually about because it is just plain good music to me.
Vick
2024-07-26 03:19:49 +0000 UTCyou admitted in your first reply that you're "not going to read all of that". why should I take any response you have seriously if you didn't even read what you're responding to? how can you make a counter argument if you don't even know what you're countering? it's not "fan behavior-ish" to write a handful of paragraphs. it literally takes me less than a minute. I use speech to text most of the time, I just speak my mind. You don't need any lore to appreciate the writing, melodies, and production of a Taylor Swift song or album. He doesn't need to know any backstory to like or dislike music. This parasocial way of consuming content is not the norm and it shouldn't be. (Stan culture is ruining art). He liked my comments so I'm going to have to assume I was right in pointing out what I've heard him say on stream before. Art is subjective, other people don't need to always like the same things as you and it's much more "fan behavior-ish" to try to convince strangers you don't know to like music they don't like just because you like it. THAT'S WEIRD. just enjoy what you enjoy and share it with others who agree. why do you care if he likes it or not??? Some of us like to write, we like to debate and discuss art, we like to get out our opinions, same as you. I always write a lot about literally any topic I talk about because these topics are complex and I have a lot to say. If reading is too much for you then don't engage, I guess, but don't project meaning onto it that's not there. Some of us just like to write and read and don't really understand this weird "anti-intellectualism" around this "Too long didn't read" & "I ain't reading allat" bs. making me feel old as hell just because I actually know how to read and write more than one paragraph, the internet makes me feel insane. it's not my problem if the majority of people are too lazy to read. have a good day/night ✌️
sleepless_dream
2024-07-23 22:06:00 +0000 UTCHonestly the album felt super underwhelming to me when I first listened to it too but it’s recently really grown on me! Maybe you’ll have different opinions later on. But I do think it’s a difference of experience, gender, where you’re at in life, etc. However I do think that you saying “us.” isn’t lyrically deep is objectively wrong 😂 but you didn’t really take time to analyze the lyrics at all so that makes sense. I didn’t at first either. Always interesting to hear your takes as a producer though!
Nat
2024-07-19 18:39:47 +0000 UTCsell me the tickets then. I love this album.
Faith Hamelin
2024-07-17 15:45:40 +0000 UTCit's not a bad album and your dislike for her having you write paragraphs does feel fan behavior-ish so... my point was, he seems to like and understand TS' lyricism more because he knows certain points of her 'lore'. I don't even know much about Gracie - so, no you don't need to know the lore to enjoy the album. I was just saying, he misses concepts in her writing that would be more enjoyable and easier to understand if he knew more about HER as an ARTIST. This all being said, Em, you are really bitter and annoying. Have a day!

2024-07-17 15:44:49 +0000 UTCAlso, leaving a "you've never been a teenage girl" comment IN THIS CHANNEL is wiiiiild. You must be new here lol

2024-07-16 02:56:26 +0000 UTCYess!!
Maddie
2024-07-15 10:01:13 +0000 UTCdefinitely have to preface that the album concept is about going home to your friends and venting about experiences — a very ritualistic and cathartic way to deal with my emotions — which is relatable. i find humor in the weirder lines like, “i was so impressed by your hotel” and “while i’m in my underwear, eating through my feelings.” she’s talked about how this album was the most fun she had while writing: her and audrey — her best friend and roommate — kept the lines they wrote that made them laugh out loud. this album is definitely not for everyone — but it is for me and i get to enjoy it — and that is the beauty of music. love ya troy and always enjoy your reactions <3

2024-07-12 18:26:53 +0000 UTCThis album really grew on me after listening to it for like a week straight. It sucks because her writing on This is What it Feels Like is so amazing, like where is the pen on this album?? And I already bought tickets for her tour, so I have to like the album….

2024-07-12 05:28:34 +0000 UTCThanks Troy for always providing us with content to watch. I'm wondering if you have any intention to review Conan Gray's latest album? He's about to go on tour and would love to see your reaction to the album. Also... U+Me= CALCULUS. If you know you know. ✌🏻🫶🏻

Sarah
2024-07-11 21:12:05 +0000 UTCImagine paying for a subscription to someone who REVIEWS MUSIC and shitting on them for their opinions. If Troy isn’t a fan of something it doesn’t mean you aren’t allowed to like it.

2024-07-11 18:53:34 +0000 UTCI think the feedback on this album has been super fascinating and appreciate your takes so much! I relate to the lyrics of some of the less popular songs so much on an emotional level that all the ways the album is lacking just flew over my head. That's just the nature of music though, and it does seem like she's relying on those types of emotional reactions for the success of this album, instead of making something innovative, deeper, etc. Thanks for your honesty and knowledge!!

2024-07-11 17:19:23 +0000 UTChad to pause watching to read the true chaos in these comments lol. love your reactions especially when you’re just being honest about what does and doesn’t work for you. sometimes the shit doesn’t slap and that’s okay ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ hopefully one day everyone will breathe in for four and out for four and touch some goddamn grass. love you bestie.

2024-07-11 15:09:16 +0000 UTCThanks for listening to Gracie even if it turned out differently than expected! Love to see you react to RUSH! by Maneskin, I think I never saw a rock reaction by you before

Em Gardner
2024-07-11 14:20:10 +0000 UTCi’m sorry but it’s also just a bad album. you shouldn’t need to know the lore to convince you to like a shitty album.

Tabby Waddell
2024-07-11 13:12:31 +0000 UTCHave you listened to the Kelly Clarkson album that came out last year? It’s obviously great vocally but she talks a lot about her recent divorce and it’s very under appreciated
Olivia
2024-07-11 11:54:23 +0000 UTChe actually said he DOESN'T like that. He literally said "I don't wanna know that stuff" in frustration on a stream when people tried to tell him lore of a song. He explicitly said the opposite. So idk where you're getting that from. I just start writing until I've finished my thoughts. sorry it's hard to read a handful of paragraphs 😅 I wrote it bcuz the comments he always gets when he doesn't like something are annoying.
sleepless_dream
2024-07-11 07:50:00 +0000 UTCwhat makes you think he went in expecting to hate it? where are you getting that from?
sleepless_dream
2024-07-11 07:47:01 +0000 UTCoooh ! I never hear anyone mention her 💕
sleepless_dream
2024-07-11 07:46:29 +0000 UTCIf we're going to talk about her nepo baby status, and the fact her lyrics reference benz, planes, other countries, movie stars, etc. Simply compare Gracie's music to the music made by another nepo baby working today, Maya Hawke. Her music is great and it seems like she actually has something to say. Gracie is the daughter of JJ Abrams who directs blockbuster movies. Maya Hawke is the daughter of Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke. Two amazing actors who have been in extremely interesting and artistic projects like Kill Bill. Now she's been in Stranger Things and Inside Out 2. Her music videos are interesting, her album art is cool. Gracie's album art is boring and has no meaning or artistic vision. The marketing was like colors flashing like iMovie, lyric video had odd close ups of her mouth with nothing else. The music video for a song I actually really like, Risk, is just... not the best. Boring. Let's be real here. Being a nepo baby isn't the issue.

2024-07-11 07:43:53 +0000 UTCalso troy and besties i took an edible so if none of that comment above makes any sense then pls disregard thanks
chuck
2024-07-11 07:01:20 +0000 UTCthank you troy for the honest review. i'm sure it's frustrating to be criticized for sharing your opinions (as a professional producer and musician!!) when it's your job and your responsibility as a critic/reviewer. there are folks out there creating content in this same field that say everything is perfect and give no criticisms, which isn't what i'm looking for as a viewer. i love hearing you point out things that i would've never noticed (bc i don't know the first thing about production). i've learned to listen to music differently because of you which has just increased my appreciation for it x10. i don't agree with every single one of your takes, but music has a level of subjectivity and that's part of the beauty -- i wish more people in the comments/chat could recognize the beauty in our different perceptions of the same art!
chuck
2024-07-11 07:00:25 +0000 UTCFellow mid 30 yr old who also loved this album 🤝 I can totally respect Gracie’s style isn’t for everyone and that’s ok! I was honestly surprised he even did the album reaction after the initial reaction to the 3 songs
Takara
2024-07-11 05:34:16 +0000 UTCOmg girl I’m not reading all that. From the brief part I skimmed through - I’m just saying he seems to enjoy taylor swifts “””lore””” because it helps him understand her lyrics/experiences. I think it would help him understand her on a more personal level and maybe connect with her music. Not sure why you felt the need to say all that but have a good day
Faith Hamelin
2024-07-11 03:59:34 +0000 UTCCan you react to Nicole Dollenganger Heart Shaped Bed or Natural Born Losers? It's Ethel Cain vibes and SO good!
Hannah Turner
2024-07-11 03:37:18 +0000 UTCI value you and your opinions so much but I feel like you sometimes go into an album expecting to hate it which makes it easier to focus on the bad aspects instead of the good ones.
Allyson Bruns
2024-07-11 03:11:11 +0000 UTCI always value your critics/opinions! As someone who doesn’t know much about production or the making of music I really like listening to what you have to say! I didn’t really like this album, not everyone loves everything and some of the comments you have been receiving are just so out of pocket. Always look forward to the videos and your honest thoughts!
Jackie
2024-07-11 03:02:23 +0000 UTCi swear you have to listen to 'this is what it feels like' or her other ep😭

2024-07-11 02:26:26 +0000 UTCi am baffled that people are in these comments coming for our man's neck. we fully pay to hear his opinions! and then when you don't agree with his opinions you're mad? like that's the risk you're taking by watching someone react to something you enjoyed. if they don't like it, don't take it to heart! personally i didn't vibe with it in the first listen, and i was disappointed bc she announced tour before the album came out and i got tickets... so i've since listened again and it's growing on me! everyone has their own preferences 🩷

2024-07-11 01:43:13 +0000 UTCI hope someday you'll react to Doja Cat's Scarlet 2 Claude album and maybe her headliner Coachella performance. I have the full concert link if you ever do consider it. Either way, I love your content and I appreciate everything you provide us.

sleepless_dream
2024-07-11 00:24:59 +0000 UTCyour comments are the ones that are immature. calling strangers "sweetheart". why are y'all so weird about other people's opinions? do you literally want the entire world to just agree with you? what do you actually want, to just bully people into agreeing or not voicing their opinions at all? do you not understand how art critique works? none of you would survive art school, critique is how you learn and grow. It's his JOB to give his honest opinion as a musician. If he didn't voice his actual opinions and literally only ever said "nice" things, it would be completely pointless and boring content. I really don't understand why people like y'all do this stuff. why do you care if strangers agree with you on subjective art? it's so bizarre... this behavior is what's childish. You can't handle anyone disagreeing with you without throwing a tantrum. don't you think there are better ways to spend your time and energy, then trying to police how others talk about music? your opinions are not superior to others just bcuz they're yours. you're rude. Stan culture is ruining art.
sleepless_dream
2024-07-11 00:22:47 +0000 UTCI disagree. I have several songs I personally like but it IS boring and surface level and repetitive imo. And this idea of "lore" is actually ridiculous. That is not the only way or the "normal" way to consume art. Troy's probably around my age or older (I'm 30), when I grew up I didn't even know the NAMES of my favorite bands of all time, like Fall Out Boy or P! ATD or Paramore for example. I knew the names of the singers and that's it. Patrick, Pete Wentz, Brendan Urie, Hayley, etc. I didn't know any of the other band members names or anything about their personal lives and that was NORMAL for the time. I saw All Time Low in concert and sobbed my eyes out, I don't know who the songs are "about" that is seriously not the point of music or art in general. You shouldn't HAVE to know background. Either the music is enjoyable or it's not. If you have to have background info to enjoy it, it's not well made. Besides, most of his complaints were about production, song structure, lyrics, etc. Background info isn't going to change any of that. Stan culture is ruining art. People are not able to be even slightly objective bcuz of their toxic parasocial relationships. Troy is one of the best music reactors bcuz he actually cares about the art of the music itself and is fair. He also knows a lot about the making of music bcuz he's a musician. imo this album is mid at best. That's MY opinion, and Troy is allowed to have his, as you are allowed to have yours. There are so many amazing albums that Troy's audience wants him to react to. He probably doesn't have time to relisten to something he didn't like on first listen. There's no reason. Life is too short to waste it on boring art. There's so many amazing things he still hasn't heard that would be a better use of his time. For him and us. Not everything is about Taylor. I like Taylor much more than Gracie. but like I said, I liked a couple songs on this album, but those are still mid. You do not need others to enjoy the same things as you. I know it can be disappointing when a reactor you like doesn't like the same things you do, but genuinely it's not something to actual complain about and try to change. Not everyone is going to agree with you and there's no reason to try to convince strangers to change their mind. genuinely why do you care?
sleepless_dream
2024-07-11 00:16:38 +0000 UTCThe comment about just enjoying an album is golden, some people need to be reminded that it's ok to just listen to an album or watch TV shows to enjoy them, not to disect and criticise. I'm both 🤣

2024-07-10 23:27:46 +0000 UTCTroy babe, if you’ve given in and listened to this, suuurely you do Found Heaven 🙏 I think you’ll be surprised!
eli
2024-07-10 23:11:22 +0000 UTCI think it’s all perspective, just like all music, I feel like I’ve been through a break up recently so the lyrics resonated with me a lot harder. It’s definitely not as emotional as her first album in my opinion as well, but with current situations I related a lot! love you Troy ur vids stay on a loop for me 🫶🏽🩷

2024-07-10 21:54:24 +0000 UTCI feel like she wrote a few solid songs but it wasn’t enough for a whole album so some of these songs are filler. I think it would have been more interesting if she went a completely different direction with the production. She doesn’t have to use the same producers as TS. Thanks for giving it a chance ✌🏼

2024-07-10 21:53:51 +0000 UTCI appreciate your videos a ton so please don’t think I was attacking you! I totally see what you mean now that you explain it! I personally love her sound and the whisper tone, but music is subjective!! Still recommend giving it another try😉
Faith Hamelin
2024-07-10 21:53:44 +0000 UTCdude, clicks and views where? I’m not uploading anywhere but to patreon more than likely lol and repetition in pop is a very fine line and there’s just a bit too much in there for me this time, that’s all. I won’t even say it’s bad songwriting, it’s just fine.
hammy
2024-07-10 21:49:41 +0000 UTCTotally valid point about liking the compression when other artists do it. But that’s also my point, it can be used well and be used poorly. Like if it was a short intimate moment, that compressed vocal would hit much harder than an entire song being produced. It’s also a tool that is used to bring lyrics all the way to the front, which is where those conversation points unfortunately fall flat for me. But that’s just for me. I can understand how you might like that easy and chill feel, I really do think it’s just personal preference. I think I find myself more impressed with artistic works that shock me and wow me then something like this that would maybe ease me into a specific mood. Thank you for your comment though, I appreciate our conversation! 😁

2024-07-10 21:36:52 +0000 UTCI'm sorryy but there's just nothing interesting about her music 😭it's like somebody gave her homework like they would in school to "make an album" and this is what she could come up with, I loved almost all the albums released this year but this one did nothing for me sadly

2024-07-10 21:30:17 +0000 UTCOr you need to separate YOUR personal feelings of what YOU thought of the album, from his. It’s great that you found enjoyment in it, but he didn’t. And that’s okay. And he expressed his honest feelings. And that’s okay. I don’t agree with Troy on many a reaction but I also don’t berate him for it either. Why? Because that’s parasocial and weird.

2024-07-10 21:28:30 +0000 UTCPoor Halsey, that video is going to haunt her forever. But it really illustrates the point - I think at least haha
Jacob Breese
2024-07-10 21:25:49 +0000 UTCMan, this truly feels like a 13 year old wrote this. Have a good night sweetheart!

2024-07-10 21:25:10 +0000 UTClol! I can’t take you today! Our love has faded away sir! I need a break! LMAO!

2024-07-10 21:24:34 +0000 UTCI just had to look up “Mallsey” and I covered my mouth so fast 🫢

2024-07-10 21:23:03 +0000 UTC“True talent, songwriting, and lyricism” are all literally subjective things……..

2024-07-10 21:21:21 +0000 UTCK Gracie, it’s time to log off from your burner account and stop camping out in these comments. Sign up for some lessons with a vocal coach and stay far away from Jack Antonoff.
Erica
2024-07-10 21:19:20 +0000 UTCPERIOD!!!
Robert Owens
2024-07-10 21:17:42 +0000 UTCNo one is gaslighting you. You’re not that important sweetheart. If you don’t like it you do not have to listen to it however, what you cannot do is discredit true talent, songwriting and Lyricism. Stay pressed. Also, your ignorance is showing yet again.
Robert Owens
2024-07-10 21:15:49 +0000 UTCYour ignorance is showing sweetheart!
Robert Owens
2024-07-10 21:14:30 +0000 UTCFaith, I FULLY agree with this! There are so many other artists that Haze has vibed with and repeat the same words over and over again and he hasn’t called them out. It seems like he wanted to try and have the same reaction as other reacters for clicks and views. I am really frustrated with this review. It has kind of changed my views on Haze for a little bit.
Robert Owens
2024-07-10 21:13:27 +0000 UTCI also think you tie her too closely with Taylor when she is very much not Taylor. I also think you'd enjoy the music more if you knew the 'lore' the way you did with Taylor. Their music is very different. This didn't feel like a very objective review. I think you should give it another listen to later on and update your AOTY. I love you and your videos but this felt unfair.
Faith Hamelin
2024-07-10 21:11:36 +0000 UTCYou hit the nail on the head with Mallsey style singing because that’s exactly what this is….and I refuse to be gaslit into thinking it’s spectacular 💀
Erica
2024-07-10 21:10:24 +0000 UTClet’s see your albums stats😍

2024-07-10 21:09:58 +0000 UTCexactly! he doesn’t like the vocals when it’s gracie but seems to not notice it on other reactions. odd.
hugh janus
2024-07-10 21:09:36 +0000 UTCI think you miss a lot of the meanings simply because you haven't experienced some of these things - which is fine! i love you, i'm sorry both calls back to an old song, but is also about her apologizing and rationing with herself for past heartbreaks (hers and exes). I also was disappointed to see your talk about the vocal production for her when you've seemed to enjoy the same style on others. Most of Gracie's music is meant to sound like a conversation or story, speaking softly. That's kind of her thing. Of course, I know nothing about actual production, but to see you write everything off (even songs you seemed to enjoy while listening to) was disheartening.
Faith Hamelin
2024-07-10 21:08:41 +0000 UTCDon’t care, didn’t ask. Sales/quantity ≠ quality.
Erica
2024-07-10 21:07:01 +0000 UTCyou nailed it.
hugh janus
2024-07-10 21:00:53 +0000 UTCI’m really mixed on “us” as a whole. It feels like it’s missing something. BUT THE BRIDGE. The bridge is everything I want the song to be

2024-07-10 21:00:30 +0000 UTC#1 on the uk and australian charts! stay mad
hugh janus
2024-07-10 21:00:29 +0000 UTCYour AOTY review saying, “The production feels like it's going through the motions of a “swift-ian" pop album with the lack of personality that Taylor brings” sums it up pretty well. You told no lies. The 2 of them need to go back to the drawing board because this sound + the monotone vocals are boring af. Gracie thought she could get away with putting out this uninspiring mess but only TS can get away with it as of late because she used to put out fire albums and she has an established, cult following. Gracie really tried it though 🤷♀️ Thank god Ariana, Sabrina, Billie, Olivia, and Chappell are saving pop music as we speak.
Erica
2024-07-10 20:59:23 +0000 UTCpeople can have opinions but he picked out the littlest things. saying it’s giving amateur songwriter for repeating a melody twice? you clearly felt offended by us to leave two paragraphs.
hugh janus
2024-07-10 20:57:56 +0000 UTCWhat’s funny is I actually came back to finish the video and I feel the same way as the comment I left. The “Amateur Songwriter” comment really sent me. I am 34 years old and fully, FULLY loved and appreciated this work of art. I don’t believe Haze is a “Hater” but I just feel like judgement was already made on this album by someone else and it shows.
Robert Owens
2024-07-10 20:56:57 +0000 UTCI love this album but then again I’m a 19 year old girl
Petra Marie
2024-07-10 20:52:42 +0000 UTCCaitlin was probably disappointed based on the comment she left lol
Petra Marie
2024-07-10 20:51:55 +0000 UTCI’ve also seen a clear divide in really only younger people (like early twenties and under) finding this album to be super enjoyable and relatable. I’m 28 and found this album to be pretty bad but I loved good riddance 🤷🏻♂️
Jacob Breese
2024-07-10 20:45:18 +0000 UTCwhy do people watch reviews if they’re gonna call the reviewer a hater 😅 music is subjective yall…
Amelia Paulson
2024-07-10 20:44:52 +0000 UTCOr, some people don’t like Mallsey style singing and that’s preferential and okay. Cursive singing is annoying to many, and loved by many. The fact you felt offended enough by his opinion to write a comment about how you couldn’t finish it sounds like it’s a personal problem babes!
Jacob Breese
2024-07-10 20:41:44 +0000 UTCyup
hugh janus
2024-07-10 20:32:00 +0000 UTCI usually can finish a Haze video but I can’t even finish this. It seems like your mind was made up about this album when you watched someone else give it a 3. I understand criticism of an album but when we are more focused on the way she pronounces something and the noises that she makes with her mouth when she’s singing into the mic, then the criticism goes out the door. I personally think that she put her all into this album and it truly showed. She bared her soul and reviewers are tearing her apart. However, her album is #1 in the UK so the fans actually adore this album. Just a difference of opinions I guess
Robert Owens
2024-07-10 20:29:01 +0000 UTCHonestly I agree w ur AOTY review! Definitely was hit harder by her first album
EK
2024-07-10 20:13:11 +0000 UTCi am so scared to watch this based off your AOTY...

2024-07-10 20:05:51 +0000 UTCwould love to see your reaction to model by wallows!!! thank you for giving gracie a chance 🤍
