We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
The skies part as the Goddess descends to walk among us once more, a song on her lips to herald her arrival.
We can but cling to our wigs, shelter our faves, and pray that she deems us worthy stans.

This is just too sad, I hope she follows through with her medication and live a long healthy life.
I was encouraged by my SO to post this on a forum and I figured here would be ok since as far as I know there isnt a Rock Era and I classify this album as more pop. Apologies for the long post ahead of time its been awhile since I did an album review.
Thirty Seconds to Mars- America
An album review...
Let us get the overdramatic out of the way, no I will not be smashing my previous albums or setting my tshirts aflame. Many online have shared or said these things in responce of this album. Yes I wouldnt classify America as a rock album and yes it is a step away from the previous albums. To those complaining about the lack of guitars I should ask them, is the sound of this album that big of a deal? The band has always used electronic sounds and beats ever since the first album. Every album since then that method has become more prevailing. Its only logical that eventually we would get a electronic driven album.
That being said America itself is overall decent. I've listened to the album a few times today and each time I do I find more to like about it than my first listen. There are high points and there are definitely low points. There is a reason why "Walk on Water" and "Dangerous Night" are the lead singles on this album they're two of the four strongest songs. The others are "Love is Madness" that features Halsey her and Jared have powerful vocals and compliment each other very well. "Hail to the Victor" is the other this song will sound great in the car because of the bass.
We get a pleasent surprise with "Remedy" Shannon Leto comes out from behind the drums to lend his vocals showing that he is just as good as his brother.
Now some nitpicks.
I don't agree with Jared Leto's choice of using auto-tune on his voice. Many who do not enjoy the band give props to Jared and his vocals because he is a very talented singer. A song like "Dangerous Night" do not need the auto-tune. While "One Track Mind" I'll allow it since it features A$AP Rocky he probably helped produce the track with them. I'll also say that I wish they could of gotten someone else to feature on that song. They got peak Kayne for the remix of "Hurricane". The collaboration with Travis Scott at the MTV awards last year had me more interested. Many love "Live Like a Dream" because it reminds them of old mars. It does it sounds like a song that was left off This Is War which is an amazing album but I don't want to hear a new song that sounds like it came off an album almost 10 years old.
Other songs I havent mentioned get lost in the shuffle of the album. Nothing makes "Great Wide Open"and "Dawn Will Rise" interesting. I believe "Rescue Me" has great lyrics but terrible sound it completely throws it off. "Rider" is your breakup song its short and if you get dumped you'll play it for the first 3 nights drunk.
To sum up this album and my review. Thirty Seconds to Mars' America is the long delayed sophmore slump album.

Joyride, No Drama, and one or two are worthwhile.
The rest is mediocre.
Not really. I actually liked Nightride back when it came out, and I think she's talented.
The problem with the album is you can tell the album went through hell to come out. The older tracks stick out like a sore thumb and on some tracks she is trying too hard to be something she is not. Her mixtapes she seems to be more in control of what she wants to do than the actual albums and the album shows some glimpes of what Tinashe can do but is hindered by her trying to be a top 40 artist without any personality or soul to what she wants to sell. She needs to let things organically come to her instead of forcing it with music that doesn't compare to her free shit.
So this Coachella performance by Beyonce is some amazing stuff.
The brass was a great choice.

I just remembered the time a user lost his shit because we were posting Mariah gifs in the Nintendo direct thread.
I agree that spamming gifs when disscusing topics can be irritating. But getting upset over a hype thread that was gonna be locked once the direct started is something else...
Glad to have mods here that saw the harmless fun we were having and joined us with the gifs posting.

Can't wait tbh.
Her single has been rescheduled to release this Friday, aka 4/20.
Smh, look at these druggie pop stars.

The rumors are true - the track is called No Tears Left to Cry.
Place bets - are we getting another Praying? Or maybe something vague and inspirational, like Roar but good? Or a full-on Into You level bop?
Are people expecting this Ariana Grande album to have any songs like "Into You"? I figured it'd be a more mellow record, since it is a reaction by Grande to the Manchester attack.
Ariana is for the gays, of course I'd expect some bops. I don't need a ballads album from her.
I can take ballads but I need a follow-up to Greedy, tbh.
Just realized this drops on the same day as Kimbra's album. We're about to be so blessed.
