Banks is a cac with no soul...her performance at his kissland tour was boring ...her music was kinda dry

Maybe she's a bit more polished this time around as she's the opening act again

I think she's gotten a bit better at least musically. Still has no soul and makes random ass movements during the performances I've seen on YouTube.

I give it a solid 7, songs I'm feeling:

Real Life
Tell Your Friends
The Hills
Acquainted
Earned it
Dark Times
Angel

As a day 1 fan I will admit its hard to move past HOB and Thursday because the content was so gritty, grimey, and addicting. However knowing that music will change going onto a mainstream scale, he did a solid job here. There is definitely a pop feel here, not overly done though.

I didn't like acquainted until I had good sex to it. Now that shyts on repeat. My only complaint is hearing half the album before it came out. Like others said, in the night, losers, dark times, real life and tell your friends are all jams. :win:

I dont know how you listen to earned it and shameless and call it anything except growth.

Album has his most polished singing and production easily. Vocally hes wayyyyyyyy past what he was doing on his early work. Thats growth. His song writing has also improved. His early work was very raw and amateur. And thats what a lot of people,myself liked about it.

Wether you like it or not is something else entirely.
