I'm hoping to get longer songs for AL8. Short and sweet was fun and all for Love Sux but it would be fantastic to have longer songs.

Since Feldy seems to be the primary producer again it doesn’t look likely. I feel like Avril likes writing shorter songs too because it’s less work and she gets them done quicker. I don’t think short songs necessarily is a bad thing but the songs need to sound complete, with proper bridges. Some of the songs on LS felt like they cut off too soon.

Shorter songs also seem to be the trend in some places. Social media definitely popularized it.

I don't get the post with the finger and Pity Party but if it's a reaction to Mod I wonder to wich post? He has only tour posts nowadays. It's weird. Might not be a reaction to any particular post, but I’ve heard he’s been dedicating Karma each night to “someone special,” which is obviously referring to her. There’s no way someone didn’t tell her about it, as well as the infamous night the audience chanted “fuck Homer” There’s also the comments on his IG post when the breakup first happened where he was replying to a lot of comments that were basically attacking Avril and agreeing with them, or his friends insinuating that Avril cheated. I’m sure she saw it all one way or another and that could be what she is responding to, if she even is at all. I find it eery how just recently we asked to see cooking stories again and then she posted some yesterday. Somebody lurks here for sure. Why can’t that person tell her we don’t like Homer and to stay away from him? 😬 Omg i noticed that too! Like 2 days after our talk about cooking, recipes, cookbook.. bam! It's too weird. And the amount of time that DC Lascelle said things, wished things out loud about tour last year and then next day her staff or Avril herself would suddenly post something related to it on IG stories.. It's again, not so much of a coincidence to me.. Too many intriguing things happened. I do think she looks on here herself tbh. Especially since we all know how grateful and aware she is towards/of/about Bandaids. Something is up .. 👀 Hi Avril, Quebec loves you! ❤️

My attention span remains in tact. I need a full journey with songs. 3 mins 30 secs all the way up to 4 mins 45 secs is my preference. That's just me. There's hardly even a point in getting invested in a song that's 2 minutes long, it's one of the reasons I hardly listen to love sux at all even though I like it in many ways.

I was just thinking about this the other day too. But I'm the opposite 😅 I've been listening to old songs and my god some of them are unnecessarily long. But I would like Avril to do a longer songs because she needs to start putting more thought into them. That's just my opinion, I think short songs don't suit her personally.

I don’t mind if songs feel like they’re made to be short (cannonball, break of a heartache) but I agree some of the others feel like there’s a bit missing. I’d prefer mostly standard length next.
I don’t really know what I want from AL8 now. I really liked the direction she went in with IAM and thought that might be her next kinda style with the deluxe leading into that sound but I despise the other two songs on the deluxe so… lol. And whilst I don’t want her to change her original vision because we all know that never turns out well, I just don’t want more songs like we got on LS. It’s fun in places but I’m so bored of that from her now. I’d say it’d be nice if she was writing at the moment as she’s clearly had some stuff she can write about with the breakup but we just know it’d be “screw you middle finger bois lie” rather than anything deep and introspective.

I agree with you about the song length. But the short Songs in LS make me listen to the Album different... I dont listen to a single Song, I always listen to the full album from beginning to the end. Its good for getting ready in the morning for example, I measure my time in the bath or cleaning Up the house with it, because I dont want to spend too much time doing these things. So I know, when the Album is getting to the end, I have to hurry. The Album is short, so when BOAH ends I want to be done and its so upbeat that it really pushes me and brings me in a good mood. Haha, I almost never listen to the deluxe because of that. And I wouldnt listen like that to albums with longer songs. You know, I usually really take my time for listening. LS is like... Fast food. Does what its supposed to, Sometimes fun to do. But nothing compares to a real good dinner.

I loved the final cut of LS, but, after all the leaked tracks were there, It feels like a lot of the good stuff was cutted out for no reason (as always in an Avril record) and in my opinion, some songs from them could made LS a so much better album. What needed LS to become a perfect 10/10 album was the leght of songs.

Why can’t that person tell her we don’t like Homer and to stay away from him? 😬 If someone really is lurking in the forum, they obviously would choose what to convey to Avril and what not to. If that is the case, whoever it is may like Homer Simpson, or may not want to cause trouble with Avril. There are endless options. I personally think there is a low chance of someone lurking for her, but there have been some weird instances. So, there's always a possibility. I can absolutely guarantee that a top level member of Avril's team visits this forum often. I think it's reasonable to assume other team members and business associates visit on occasion.

Yeah I like BOAH, Cannonball, and Pity Party because they’re meant to be short, and are good openers/closers in that way. But LS as a whole (even with the deluxe) feels too short. I definitely would want some 3+ minute songs for sure on AL8, -plus, her bridges are usually pretty darn good so it’s a shame LS is lacking in those.

I'm pretty sure LS on YT Music is 33 minutes, so I definitely want AL8 to be longer. The deluxe version is about 49 minutes. I think I would want the standard on AL8 to be as long as the deluxe of LS.

I don't mind the short songs if the album had more songs in the first place, if she would've add Joker, Hellelujah, Teenage Nightmare, Too Fast To Live, Californyeah and Shut Up for example it would've felt like a real album. Don't get me wrong it does feel like a complete and real album but 33 minutes is way too short. Pity Party is the same vibe as BOAH so I get why she didn't added PP in the first place, she must've felt that BOAH was a better closing track than PP although PP made it as an ending song on the deluxe.
So the next album would be nice if it has more songs with a longer length, like 3:30 or something, a ballad even longer but Complicated seems so unnecessary long now, also Losing Grip has the chorus being repeated a little too much at the end of the song.
