    Yeah this is definitely my favorite pop (more like psychedelic pop) album I've heard since 2017 Melodrama. That's all I can say.

    This album speaks with all of us that go out every single day to work, to college and comes back with a new different feeling - after all, life's a construction and we're never the same. 'Titanic Rising' really touched me in many ways. This is the first work that I listened from the artist behind this album, but I definitely will know more from her from now on

    Definitely one of the best albums this year. Titanic Rising takes us on an amazing musical journey with vocals and a production as wonderful as the invasion of aliens into the world that leads to the destruction of humanity. This album seems to be perfect and should be considered as a serious candidate for the album of the year.

    This is my first time listening to Weyes Blood and I have to say, this is one of my favourite album's from 2019! I really liked the project, the concept of Titanic Rising is amazing. It makes me forget about reality for a while. The stunning vocals with. the outstanding production makes a great album. My favourite track is definitely Movies, it really encompasses the whole project.

    Weyes Blood's potent new album, "Titanic Rising" is a success on a few different fronts. First, for being a catalyst to a sound that boldly pushes the already bold genre of Avant-Garde pop. And second, for considering the experience; much like a movie. The songs on this record play out like a biopic where Weyes Blood is the subject and she shares her many experiences with love.

    Everything about this album is perfect. The cover, name, interludes, themes- it's my personal AOTY, and nothing else comes close (so far). I hadn't heard of WB before listening, but now I'm a huge fan.

    Favorites: Andromeda, Movies, Everyday.

    Other WB songs I love right now: Suddenly, Generation Why (Front Row is a great album), Bad Magic.

    Weyes Blood’s (Natalie Mering) newest record, “Titanic Rising”, is a serious contender for album of the year. From the first moments of “A Lot’s Gonna Change”, you can tell that Natalie’s music has changed, but in the best way possible.

From the first moments of “A Lot’s Gonna Change”, you can tell that Natalie’s music has changed, but in the best way possible. The sounds on “Titanic Rising” is more grandiose and spacious than really anything Natalie has ever put out before. “Andromeda” and “Everyday” are breezy 70s pop tunes, with the latter being about the restlessness of modern dating and how monogamy isn’t too present in today’s dating scene. “Something to Believe” is a track that you can put on at the end of a lonely summer night, while the ambient title track makes you feel like you’re right there with Natalie on the album’s cover in her underwater bedroom.

    Side two of the record begins with the epic and ethereal opus, “Movies”. “Movies” is absolutely the highlight of “Titanic Rising” with its subdued arpeggios and swelling synths. It’s another song that can make you feel like you’re underwater hanging out with Natalie. “Mirror Forever” and “Wild Time” offer some moments of glory as well. “Picture Me Better” is another highlight and is perhaps the most emotional song on “Titanic Rising”. “Nearer To Thee” brings echoes of “A Lot’s Gonna Change” and is a nice, subdued album closer.

    Natalie Mering’s newest record as Weyes Blood is her best and most grand. “Titanic Rising” takes you some place – whether it be underwater, up in the air, or on the ground.    … Expand

    O álbum possuí uma sonoridade única, muito relaxante e dramatica, tanto que seria um otimo par ao um filme, sendo uma trilha sonora. Os seus vocais e melodias são simplesmente incríveis. "Titanic Rising", sim, é uma grande aposta para as grandes categorias do Grammy 2020; não me surpreenderia se ganhasse como Álbum do Ano.

    "Wow" is all I can say when listening to this album. Some people may think it is boring, but I was transported into beautiful world, Natalie shows us on the album cover. "Movies" alone deserves so much credit for its transporting production. It is one of those songs you can listen hours and hours to. One of my favorite albums of 2019 and can not wait for another project by Weyes Blood.

Opening with 'A Lot's Gonna Change', a hopeful ballad about the future and, well... change, the album then moves on to great songs such as 'Andromeda', 'Movies', 'Everyday' and 'Picture Me Better' (which is the most accessible song for the mainstream ear on there). The arrangements and the strings all over the record are impeccable, and the two instrumental interludes (title-track 'Titanic Rising' and closer 'Nearer to Three') are moments of pure bliss. A very solid sub-pop record, this may be one of the best and strongest albums of the year.… Expand

    Titanic Rising is a strange ode to pessimism of the past experiences and optimism to the future. The album fluctuates really quick and transports you to different universes. Even though almost all the songs sound the same, the messages have variety and originality. Her vocals catch you and situates the listener where she wants her/him to be.

    Tori Amos meets The Beach Boys while The Beatles are dining with Carole King, and they all slide off together in a fairground made of epaulettes.

    the dream pop surreal atmosphere in which we are involved during the whole EP is hard, if not impossible, to escape. we’re almost held hostage in the underwater childhood bedroom presented to us on the breathtaking cover during the 42 minutes of the LP.

    since i first heard it last year i still ALWAYS get completely speechless about the beauty and mystical feeling these songs contain. this is an album that never fails to make me feel like life is a wholesome experience worth living for - no matter how **** up i am atm. it has this strange power equivalent to a beautiful and soothing spring day right after a whole month of a rainy and foggy winter. it instantly makes me feel hopeful and positive in a way no other piece of art can.

    besides the special sentimental personal cliché value it has to me, i consider the album the most genius and well made album of probably all times. from beginning to end natalie takes us on a trip with its ups and downs, twists and turns, but no matter what happens, we all feel like it’s going to end up in a beautiful place.

    every single song sounds even more beautiful, well produced, lyrically superior to the precedent. it is an experience that starts on top and only gets higher - i cannot find a single moment where a song doesn’t meet the standards the others have settled.

    titanic rising is an album that will go down to me as probably my top 1 album of all time. its magical atmosphere and dreamy aesthetics will forever follow me wherever i might end up.

    The best female album since 2012's Fiona Apple "The Idler Wheel..."
    It's not so complicated as Fiona's, more accessible, more subtle and melodic. Weyes delivers intricate stunning melodies in songs, they are unique and resembling a lots of great artist simultaneously... - Enya, Johni Mitchell, Muse, Mazzy Star, Cocteau Twins, Lana del Ray. Movies - undeniably Song and Video of 2019...

    Weyes Blood's song writing can sometimes seem a little derivative (I have in mind especially 'Movies', which could easily be on a Lana del Rey album), but the gorgeous mix of orchestral and electronic arrangements beautifully complement her vocals, and the songs have this strange nostalgic quality to them, that this has become one of my favourite albums of the year and has only gotten moreWeyes Blood's song writing can sometimes seem a little derivative (I have in mind especially 'Movies', which could easily be on a Lana del Rey album), but the gorgeous mix of orchestral and electronic arrangements beautifully complement her vocals, and the songs have this strange nostalgic quality to them, that this has become one of my favourite albums of the year and has only gotten more enjoyable with each listen. 'A Lot's Gonna Change' is the standout, and deserves the reprise that closes the album.… Expand

    Titanic Rising is an absolute masterpiece. Listening to the album I feel as though I'm sitting on the back porch of a farmhouse on a late August evening while simultaneously floating in an unfamiliar and eerie underwater world. Her vocal performance is stellar, and the orchestral tracks help emphasise the otherworldly vibe.

    Dreamy, eerie, inventive pop/rock. Natalie Mering's droning, sometimes ghostly, sometimes angelic voice is beautiful against an array of production ideas that feel fresh while also coming off classic. An absolute joy to listen to.

    Melhores Faixa
    -Movies
    -Andromeda
    -Everyday

    Amei as temáticas do álbum e como ela aborda, tudo isso com uma voz angelical e uma produção absurda (que me lembrou filme de sci-fi as vezes)

    OMG, this album is a master piece of art.

    There are no words to describe how great it is, the best album of 2019, Weyes Blood deserved a lot of awards, that some overrated fad did not deserve, the lyrics are completely beautiful, accompanied by spectacular sounds, a long road awaits this talented singer-songwriter.

    She is Joni Mitchell's daughter. This album is majestic, deeper, introspective, reflective, cohesive. One of the greatest works of alternative.

    I have never bought a vinyl so quickly. This psychedelic folk-pop album is definitely worth your time. Just make sure you are in an open mind space since it could easily all go over your head.

    Perfect flow of the album with her unique one and only voice... best pop album ever since Lana Del Rey’s NFR and Lorde’s melodrama

    Simply amazing. Nothing about this album can be criticized. Everything’s stunning; the lyrcs, the music production, the album cover. In fact, I descovered this terrific artist because I ran into this album in Spotify and loved the cover. 10/10

    In emotional terms Titanic Rising is immense – names like Annette Peacock, Linda Perhacs and Judee Sill come to mind, but only because it feels like so long since you’ve heard pop this epic yet unmannered. ... With tracks like the stunning “Something To Believe” lodging themselves into your heart with the sure knowledge that your relationship with this music will only deepen as the year unfolds.

    Titanic Rising is even more accomplished than putting Mering’s state of grace to music; with her 70s-inflected approach to songwriting, she succeeds in nothing less than recalibrating time.

    A strong contender for album of the year. ... Titanic Rising is remarkable for its breadth, effortlessly shifting from the 90-second ambient wash of the title track to Picture Me Better’s homespun take on the cosmic cowboyisms of Kacey Musgraves. Then there are Merings’ lyrics, evincing a similar shift in scale and scope.
