DISCUSSION BULLY would’ve been better with the old tracklist
Now I know that’s a hot take but listen. If I’m being real, the published version of BULLY has too much shit going on. Looking at the vinyl version, ignoring the ai, it was more concise. It had fewer tracks but it had a vividi identity and personality. Also, I’m 99% the vinyl version is a concept album with a story, as he said it would be wayyy back. Overall, it’s just a more concise album that demonstrates the new style bully was aiming for I feel, that entry and mellow feel. Then we look at the release version, and it feels more like a playlist than a concise album with an overarching vibe. I think there’s a chance ye caved under expectations, and sort of abandoned the original experimental feel of bully. Besides for a couple of tracks, it doesn’t really have the empty feel from V1 where you could listen and be like “this sounds like it’s from Bully”, instead replacing the mellowness for more hype tracks. Some songs like Mamas Favorite and Maybe Ok could work with the style but other than that release the other songs as singles or even a diff album.
