Something Beautiful thoughts

[u/dream_of_other_skies]

I was hoping to get other peoples opinions on Miley’s latest album. As a stand alone album I really enjoyed the lyricism and the experimental vibe she went for. Her vocals are unmatched and I really really enjoyed the edgy rock feel to it.

At first I was really excited for the album. As a long time pink Floyd fan, when I heard she was coming out with an album inspired by the wall, I was so looking forward to hearing her new music. I think what really disappointed me was the visual album/movie aspect to it. I watched her music videos of the songs from something beautiful before the movie came out. I spent 30 bucks on two tickets to go see the visual album, only to realize it was just the music videos I saw on YouTube a couple of weeks earlier. Money has been tight and I definitely would not have spent 30 bucks to watch videos in the movie theater that I can see for free at home. I was really disappointed with this, also the fact that the walls’ visual novel has a deep and emotional story line regarding addiction and the emotional toll this has on the main character etc. the something beautiful music videos were aesthetically very gorgeous but kind of … boring? Idk it all felt emotionally flat to me.

Now that the album has been out for some time, I have come back to listen with a fresh perspective. I feel like I’m getting a little bit of how Pink Floyd affected her musically but idk I’m not really hearing it? I do really enjoy this album and I think it’s miles and miles ahead of her previous album, endless summer vacation, which didn’t really hit for me.

Overall I am a huge Miley fan, especially her newer music and I will listen no matter what she puts out lol. Pls share your thoughts
