“Test Drive” is my favorite. It’s a shame all the songs are so short (2 mins long)!

Not loving any of the new songs all that much. Test Drive sounds a lot like Motive to me though.

What a lazy deluxe version. Could she not give us a bridge on any of the new tracks?

I saw the length of the deluxe tracks and cackled. The streaming era is straight-up killing music.

The album that never ends... I mean 'THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT: THE ANTHOLOGY' out now!

Post by schnetzka on Feb 19, 2021 10:01:28 GMT -5
There's shorter songs for streaming purposes and then there's this. Streaming killed music.
I get that they want shorter songs so that people replay them more often but if there's nothing of substance in the songs such as these then there's no need to replay them. Maybe this is just me because I didn't like Position as a whole but I just... something needs to change.

I haven't listened to the deluxe yet (saving it for later today), but I am beyond disappointed at the ridiculously short lengths. I was still getting used to songs under 3 minutes, but 2:00-2:10 minute tracks?
Don't get me wrong, sometimes it can work to a song's advantage ("WHAT'S POPPIN" and "Panini" come to mind - the latter being 1:55 long). However, if the 2:30 tracks on the album already felt undercooked and needing further development, I'm worried. And what a shame as well, since it would have been a great opportunity for Ariana to play around with the sound and themes of the project, and deliver something new and less GP-friendly like she did for the deluxe tracks on "My Everything" and "Dangerous Woman".

I love the new tracks, but I hate how damn near everyone has resorted to shorter tracks. Ugh.

Whatever you thought of the original album applies here too.
In my case, meh. It's not horrible but she can do much better. Gonna pray "motive" is the next single.

Post by Mayman on Feb 19, 2021 10:34:36 GMT -5
Meh. I probably won't return to any of these new tracks much. Hopefully they go with "pov" as the next single because nothing here would do much better imo.

The deluxe tracks are ok. Not bad but nothing I’d brag about. They feel like rejects from the original album and I’ll probably stick to listening to the original. Fingers crossed “motive” is the next single because it’s the only song left on the album that sounds like a smash hit.
Edit: I agree with others that the short track lengths are annoying and I hate how that is becoming a trend in music.

Ridiculous. Why the hell are these songs exactly 2 minutes and nothing more?! Couldn't Ari at least went for something a bit more like 2:30? I get that this the new 'norm' in the streaming era but all of the new tracks feel incomplete. This deluxe version was completely unnecessary and a major let-down.
But I guess, out of the new songs, test drive is the better one.

The deluxe tracks essentially feels like whatever they just had lying around from recording sessions slapped onto the album, too short in general is the main consensus test drive is the best of them since its basically a much better version of motive but its also worse because its too short
nasty, pov, and just like magic are the songs I hope to be singles, more so the first two.

She could’ve kept this lil “deluxe” mess. These new songs add nothing sonically to the album...actually just drags it out more. They should just use the deluxe hype to launch one of the original track list songs (preferably Nasty or Safety Net).

These "deluxe" tracks are to short. I agree with so many comments here. I like "Test Drive" most out of the three new tracks but it ends abruptly and is aching for a bridge, remix or even another chorus? "Worst Behavior" is cute but short. lol "Main Thing" is decent enough but I probably won't go back to it. I still purchase music and owned 4 tracks from this but I wasn't buying these songs being so short. I went back to the original and sampled it on Itunes and ended up completing the deluxe album. With all the talk about POV I went to that track first and really like it. "Obvious" is another good one. "West Side" is good but of course short. lol All the tracks blend well but many are to short and sound similar so if I was a streamer I may not go back to many. Perhaps some are growers because as I type this I'm liking "Off The Table" with "The Weekend. When this first came out I thought is was boring and was disappointed. I'm glad I ended up getting the whole deluxe. Nice album but I do wish she would come out with a couple of bangers or poppier tracks next..

The tracks are fine but I guess I'm confused? It's not like the album needed an extra push at the moment, nor are there any clear singles from the new stuff (which is what I'd expect with a deluxe). Seems pointless and weirdly timed.
