The Used - Toxic Positivity (May 19, 2023) • Page 3

yeah, i really like the song!

music still unavailable for purchase on Amazon. Wonder if it will be there on Friday? I don't know that I'll be able to get it right away though, because I used up all my savings for music already this year. lol

 

I still think people are vomit and fuck you are better than both of the songs released from this lol

 

I don't think I've even listened to the new ones, I'll just wait for the album

 

curious what category they'll be in for the golden globes

 

it’s not going to win any of that jay

 

You lost me here. The whole effort seems rather confused (the exclusion of "Fuck You"/"PAV", releasing a barely 30 minute album on double vinyl), mailed-in (singles artwork just being tweaked versions of the album cover), and uninspired (both "Numb" and "Giving Up"). I'm still going to give the whole album a cautiously optimistic listen or five, but I won't be surprised if I'm left disappointed and/or wanting more either.

 

gold globes

 

Best Foreign Film Soundtrack

 

I like Giving Up a lot, probably my favourite of the songs so far but it is a little repetitive and could have a stronger ending, especially as a closer.

 

genuinely wtf @ a 30-minute album on double vinyl

 

Drip drip if you know where to look

 

that's what i meant to say the other day! only 30 minutes???

but I actually really like Giving Up. It's a departure from their original style, but I still enjoy it. Hope the rest of the album is as good as this one, cuz the others were just ok (I mean, two aren't on the album, but Numb was just subpar to me, if I'm being entirely honest)

 

Hahahaha.

 

"Gold globes" popped into my head at least 5 times today

 

Just started my first listen. The first three songs are.... yeah not doing much for me.

Pinky Swear and Headspace are pretty good though!

 

Yeah this album is like half good songs, half bad. The good songs though are pretty good though :)

 

Heartwork was really good. This is trash:(

 

You can tell Bert really spent a lot of time and brain power on these lyrics

 

Wow this is actually real bad!

 

wow i really don't like this at all lol

 

I like it.

 

This is more consistent than the last album but still feels pretty flat. Surprised I enjoyed it as much as I did but don’t really see myself returning to it. I think Cherry is cool but lyrically it’s pretty rough, seems like a nice standout track for Octane radio though.

 

You know what would have made this record a lot better? The two songs that didn’t make the record!

 

I appreciate how short and concise it is. It really seems to be a snapshot of how hard the pandemic was for Bert and his 'Headspace' at the time lol. For someone, like myself, who is 'going through it' right now, it definitely resonates. Even if it's a bit awkward/clumsy at times.
