Whitney is also a huge letdown; I know they said they didn't go for a throwback to the classic Thunderpuss sound but they really should have - if only for the mix itself to be more engaging because having only that live vocal to work with was not it. This sounds just like every other solo Barry mix he's done in the past few years (ie. basic and clunky). Chris, to me, was always the spark that made Thunderpuss what they were because after all the absolute fucking home runs they hit as a duo, it's Chris' solo remixes after the fact that continued to have that same sound and energy. It would have been far too obvious had they done a throwback style remix as the main one. As a gift for the fans it certainly would have been okay. Chris and Barry mentioned they did a harder mix for their own sets. But in 2022/2023, it would not have really gone over well outside of that audience. The hard tribal big room style mixes that are still being done in general are viewed with scorn and disdain by many who feel that style can only be enjoyed while coked out and/or tweaked out on tina while using poppers while it soundtracks people's anonymous carnal encounters at circuit parties and that's even within the community that such music would be geared towards. It leaves a very tiny niche market that would consume such a style now. Chris' recent solo work has actually gone in a more chilled direction a la Rufus Du Sol and Tinlicker in the cases of his John Duff "Is It A Sin" and Peppermint Heaven "1-2-3" remixes. But he did release some anthem-ish stuff in recent years such as Jade Starling "Alive", Christine and the Queens "5 Dollars", Niall Horan "Too Much To Ask", Jennifer Lopez "Baila Conmigo", and Sabrina Carpenter "Almost Love" which have varying degrees of the sound characteristic of the classic Thunderpuss sound. Barry has gone in a more Disco/House direction in recent years with the occasional Tribal flavored production.

Considering Thunderpuss' heyday was over 20 years ago, what audience would they have been appealing to anyway but the ones who were into that sound 20 years ago? Just play into the nostalgia and give us that old school diva anthem, it's not like modern audiences were gonna be falling over themselves for it anyway.

1) omg three near-perfect rankings in a row 2) heaven actually kinda impressed me. wasn't expecting this sorta song from niall horan and i think he pulled it off quite well, especially compared to "slow hands" and "nice to meet you" which both felt kinda awkward to me

also glad this one didn't stick around for finals. idk why but all of their new songs just kinda blend in together and not in a good way. i think it's probably just a result of overexposure of that whole sound.

didn't realize heaven was a song i heard ALL the time on the radio at my old workplace till it showed up here and i got flashbacks. not a bad track, i generally like niall as a solo act, but the song does have a negative connotation for me.
i have to say, i went into the pretentiously named "THE record" with low expectations cause i only liked half the tracks on the not strong enough single and was tired of boygenius hype but i have to say...i did quite like the album though, and this is one of the better tracks from it. would've expected it to do better, but i won't complain about obvious final pick not making the finals.
need to listen to the new king krule album, this song was cool
