    Well, I thought it would be a problem for me too, but I kind feel that it fits the songs. My only problem with this album is that it ends 😅 joking apart there are just minimal things I don't get but it is completely irrelevant compared to the greatness of this album. I am in love

    It's not really a problem because as you said the autotune works in its context.

    But I wish her natural voice came through in some of the tracks or there were more tracks that had her natural voice.

    I cannot stress how minor this is though, because I love this album. 

  2. YES, IT IS STILL A FANTASTIC ALBUM apart from those 4 songs with Avicii they have butchered...

    What i don't get is if they can preserve the Avicii sound in ADDICTED (which is almost untouched from the demo), why not with those other 3 very beautiful songs? Anyhow, I am replacing them on my playlist with the demos... they are in high quality anyway... there, problem solved...

    Well I like to listen to albums as wholes so I'm not one to replace tracks. Having said that, I have another album on my ipod called 'Iconic' with the best demos, which includes Avicii's wonderful contributions, such as Rebel Heart, Beautiful Scars, WAOM, and Messiah (Demo 2!)

  3. The Avicii version doesn't fit in the album. I don't know what you expected? Anyways, you still have the version you like. Even if you prefer the demo, the album version isn't bad.

    I conceded to that point already. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but at the very least I feel she should've kept the climactic violin driven chorus, if not for the first chorus, then for the final chorus. Meh, still a fantastic album.

  4. "Best" is obviously subjective. She wanted to make a Madonna record, not an Avicii record.

    Fair point. The new RH fits better in the context of the new album and as an album closer, so I can see some logic behind her choice of changes. However I still don't think it is the better of the two, and the Avicii sound is what she asked for, that's like saying, Ray of Light is a William Orbit record.

  5. No. All finals are better than demos. Even BS Im getting into the new version. i think we are just too used to the old ones. But from a start to finish sonic journey, all the final versions are awesome.

    Sorry but there is nothing that could convince me that the original Rebel Heart demo is not the best version. There was a general consensus among fans on different boards that the song should've been lead single or second single and with good reason, it had all the ingredients of a perfect pop song. The album version simply has no bang, and no power.

  6. Joan of Arc!!!!! JOAN OF FUCKING ARC!
    Borrowed Time is GREAT
    Hold Tight is GREAT
    Holy Water is EPIC
    SEX is SEX!
    Inside Out is GREAT (and doesn't sound like a rip off of NIN's Closer anymore)
    Body Shop is GREAT
    Iconic is ICONIC
    VVV is GREAT and so is NAS!
    Graffiti Heart is LOVELY!
    ADDICTED! HeartBreakCIty! AAAAHHH!

    *breathes*

    Pretty much everything on the album is superior to every demo, but there are exceptions...

    WAOM - First demo is still the best. The album version is boring.

    Messiah - How can you hear Messiah (Demo 2) and not think it is the best one? The album version is back to being boring. So powerless.

    Rebel Heart - Don't get me started on this one. The first demo needed a little fine tuning, she could've kept the violin orgy during the chorus at least and made it longer than 3:20. This isn't a bad version per se (like the previous two) but it was still heartbreaking to listen to. Such a shame, shame, shame.

    Beautiful Scars - Dreadful disco. It was such a cute and sweet track, this one is really a case of less is more. Ugh.
