PORTALS

Melanie Martinez (2023)

7.7/ 10

“While an album I still enjoy in full I do find it hard considering everything crybaby and k-12 had involved in story and lore. Crybaby’s goodbye feels a bit short lived sometimes especially without the conclusion of visuals we will never come to see. The songs themselves are still v well thematicized and while some miss in some aspects the album on its own is still a very solid project from the queen of concept. Portals no longer being Melanie’s most recent project as of tomorrow really solidifies that while not my favorite project of hers to date it still is a solid piece of work and deserves to be recognized as such. Top 3: Evil, Death, Milk of the Siren Honorable Mention: Tunnel Vision”
