Any pictures of it if you can id love to see the back album art if any unless its just plain with a tracklist which is what im expecting. Some distributers released the album not knowing the new release date, its been released online from a certain mp3 site and FLAC version aswell. Sucks but they should of just kept the original release date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booms528 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Sad how poorly the roll-out has been going. I am really rooting for these guys, but it feels like the new label is giving them absolutely no help. N8TRU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N8TRU Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Anyone else notice how it's just pics of Lynn in promo shots now? Spotify is 4 photos of only Lynn from the same shoot, album artwork is Lynn, Kerrang cover was just Lynn, I wanna say a recent music video was just Lynn and I haven't seen a promo photo with Alex or Brian (live shots don't count) since the EP last year. Kinda rubs me the wrong way when bands do this even if it's by choice but we all know how major labels love to get their trash directions and ideas involved. The album is good overall but definitely my least favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-Bon Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 First Paragraph scares me .. "On the new record, frontwoman, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and producer Lynn Gunn steps into a new chapter, as she owns her role as PVRIS’ leader and SOLE ARCHITECT" soooooo im guessing Alex and Brian are now just session musicians ??? kinda reminds me of the Paramore saga .. sad really ...

Han Solo Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) Okay, I ended up with the album early and this is really growing on me! My first listen it seemed good but not mindblowing. Now, I'm listening more intensively and carefully and I think "Stay Gold" is my favourite track because of the lyrics. "Use Me" gives Tove Lo vibes. Go into this expecting pop and you won't be disappointed. It will be difficult for older fans to adjust if they're expecting it to sound like White Noise did.

AWasteOfATime Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 I'm pretty sure that the first two records were mostly her and one other guy, the versa emerge guy, writing/producing all of the stuff. so it makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tokimedo Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 got shipping confirmation on this today..honestly didnt remember even ordering it. if i did, i would have 100% cancelled it prior to shipping. shit, they could have never shipped and kept my money and id have been none the wiser. tape 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booms528 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Yeah i also forgot that i had preordered this... whoops. After listening through it twice, it's okay. The highs are high (there's a couple good bangers on here) but there's also a lotttt of filler. I think there's a shot if i give it more time then i'll realize the songwriting is better/more mature than prior albums and it could grow on me, but that's also not exactly what I look to Pvris for, so idk how i feel about it.

meatrocket8 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 seems like a good time to mention our 'use me' deluxe vinyl will be available on record store day this june. somehow, ours switched positions with @arianagrande's 'positions' vinyl and some fans got them early. in other news, we'll see you all tomorrow night at 5pm pst/8pm est.
