Halsey - Manic (January 17, 2020) Album • Page 6

"I remember this girl with pink hair in Detroit
Well, she told me
She said, "Ashley, you gotta promise us that you won't die
'Cause we need you," and honestly, I think that she lied
And I remember the names of every single kid I've met
But I forget half the people who I've gotten in bed"

This line hit me so hard.

 

I’m getting impatient I wanna hear it so bad

 

30 Mins. It'll blow your mind!

 

Okay this album is absolutely hitting

 

I’m still only on Graveyard, so barely heard anything new yet but I still just wanna say that Graveyard is so good

 

I still think clementine sucks, but the first track was nice. That's as far as I am so far

 

“3 am” is definitely a peak-era Pink song.

 

wow you weren't kidding haha

 

good lawd Alanis sounds terrible, sorry

 

929 made me cry and I’m a robot

 

This goes in some pretty interesting/weird directions. She for sure let her influences show. Very happy and ya 929 really hits hard

 

I... am not really feelin this. Almost every song is a variation on the same thing, it really lacks diversity for a 16-track album. I'm all for stripping down your sound, but I really feel like this is a ton of the same stuff. The interludes kinda suck, unfortunately. Maybe my mind will change, but first listen was kinda... boring

 

I absolutely love dominic’s interlude.

 

I love when she lets those hot topic emo influences show- heading a lot of panic!, the Maine, etc. influences here. A lot of these lyrics hit very hard and the way every song flows into the next reminds me of Bleachers’ “Gone Now” a lot.

overall I really like this. I think she probably shouldn’t have released “Clementine” ahead of the whole album because it makes much more sense in context.

 

I’m sorry that not all of you are libras and will thus never fully understand the mood here tbh

 

About 1/4 of the way in and I am vibing with this hard

 

I like this plenty

 

Listened to half of it and while I enjoy it all nothing is really standing out that much. I liked Nightmare a lot more than any of this.

 

This is insanely good. I'm relatively new to the Halsey train, but on first listen I already like it more than HFK. Not sure anything will top Badlands, though.

I understand now, listening in context, why Nightmare was left out. Even still, I absolutely LOVE that song.

 

There’s some really good stuff on here. Still doesn’t top Badlands though. That album perfectly hits my sweet spot. Far better than HFK though, which I didn’t like at all.

 

Love the album!!

 

Got the record in the mail. Alanis' Interlude, killing boys, and SUGA's interlude are not on the standard version of the vinyl.

 

I think the only song I really dislike is the Alanis one tbh
