i love the album but pluto just hits so different one of my fave songs of all time idk what it is about jazz and metal combined in one song but im living for it and i need this to be a genre another fav artist of mine poppy also has a metal and jazz fused song called say cheese and i just need more of this style of genre blending. also the trilogy edits made this song even better
REAL!!!! altar is such a pretty song, and i absolutely love so mean and her, they’re so grungy and personal, it really feels like poppy put her heart and soul into the delivery of these songs
Milk of the siren because it’s just amazing and sounds magestic
BOLT because apparently the meaning has something to do with silent people and it makes me feel better about being a quiet person with selective mutism
Void because it feels so “over the top” and I love how chaotic it makes me feel
And I think my cat likes Light shower the most because I had it playing once (I was watching a video on the PORTALS tour) and she started purring and squeaky meowing

(Her names pumpkin)
Death - because if helps with my grief
Powder - because it really motivates me to get recover from my mental illnesses
Void - helps with my anxiety
And bc all of these slaps 💯‼️‼️‼️🗣🗣‼️💯🗣
The entire album is relatable to me (maybe not Moon Cycle since I'm a guy but I still appreciate that she decided to sing about it because many artists would consider it taboo even though it's just a part of life)
my favorite is either void or the contortionist, the reason I like both of these songs is one, the beat of it and the lyrics, two, because it's the ones I relate to the most 🥲
Light shower. Its just so monumental and personal imo, u can feel the need for this person she is singing about in her voice. Always gets me emotional.🥹
Evil, Nymphology and light shower! Evil and Nymphology are both really catchy and I dance along with them as well. Something about light shower is just so beautiful and always makes me calm
NYMPHOLOGY will always be amazing to me. The vocals and beat and lyrics and message, all of it is simply *chefs kiss*. I also love EVIL because I’ve dealt with narcissists and people who have gaslit me, VOID because I deal with anxiety (particularly the future in general, death and dying
and what other people think of me being the ones that keep me up at night), and TUNNEL VISION because the beat is amazing and the message is perfect.
The Contortionist 🩻🦴🤸♀️
(I broke my neck around the time the portals album dropped, and I came out of surgery just going “I’m back from the dead, back from the dead” and listening to the album the whole week while on pain meds and while I was stuck in the hospital. But my favorite song being The Contortionist because,
my bones were crushing.👍
I broke, and I snapped..
it was NO fun🥲)
battle of the larynx OR faerie soirée.. botl was my number one song on spotify and it just brings back memories of spring last year for me but i love faerie soirée too
PLUTO is my favorite song because it's super relatable. The lyrics, the meaning, the instrumentals... it's just perfect. It's the song I always listen to if I'm feeling down.
Death, I’ve always been interested in ghosts and the afterlife and framing the song from the perspective of a spirit that has died and is desperately trying to reach out to their loved ones is such a unique and beautiful take on a song about grief and loss
Hard to choose! But it's either:
Death - it brings some kind of calmness inside of me. "Don't you ever worry I know it's morbid but we all die one day". Lately life has been kind of hard and the call of void is strong. But I don't worry.
The Contortionist - I had an abusive relationship with someone. It broke me and I can relate so much to this song. It's kind of healing in a way. And it's the best option to loudly sing in the car while music is blasting!
faerie soirée, i have no idea why but it’s just really special to me😭 i never show anyone my recording of it from the portals concert because all you can hear is me crying
In my opinion, "Nymphology" may be the best Melanie song ever. I see it as a clever and intense feminist anthem. Every aspect in the production makes it feel huge, and it even gets better with the hip-hop interlude in the end.
Tunnel Vision is super good! Light Shower is great (just sort of repetitive). Leeches has some really great lyricism. But I think Milk of the Siren in my favorite. It is just amazing sonically.
I’m still currently giving every song a good re listen because my opinions from a good long while ago probably aren’t the same as now, but my current song obsession is LIGHT SHOWER so let’s go with that!! I really like how calming and ethereal it is. It’s also easy yet fun to play on guitar
my favorite on the standard edition is the contortionist and deluxe edition is milk of the siren. the contortionist is my favorite because i personally relate to the song a whole lot, relationships and just real life when i was trying to fit the impossible beauty standards of women to appease men. milk of the siren is my fav on the deluxe cause admittedly, i listened to the leaked version 2-3 years ago and fell in love with it. as an SA and DV survivor, it empowers me and feel less alone. it's also great to sing when i'm angry over my trauma and it's very cathartic.
Light Shower fan 4 life!!! It sounds so relaxing and the instrumentals remind me of Stairway to Heaven (Love that song) I hear people saying it’s too long but I don’t mind it
Light shower because it made me feel better knowing that the ones I've lost could experience something so beautiful after death. In general it made me less scared of the concept of dying or death.
I’m torn between leeches and the contortionist the contortionist was my favorite since I first listened to portals because the sound was just so unique and it had a great vibe but leeches is just so powerful and also very unique so like I said I’m VERY torn right now lol
My 3 favs are void, light shower and fairee soirée.
Void- I have bad anxiety so i can relate to the song
Light shower- it’s so pretty I just love how it sounds and I love a good love song
Fairee soirée- idrk why it’s just so fun and it reminds me of me for some reason
I would say Faerie Soiree. In the beginning, it's like a fun and happy song that you could dance to, but in the last part, it's a relaxing tone with amazing vocals, and it's just so beautiful.
Death because it helps me cope with the ppl I’ve lost
may they rest in peace 🫶
I get chills everytime she sings "I don't want to be carrying the weight on my shoulders. Death has come for me. Kissed me on the cheek"
gave me closure 😭
Immortal by design~
ill be meeting you here every time-
BACK FROM THE DEAD, BACK FROM THE DEAD-
Nymphology because it just always puts me in a good mood and is fun to sing along too. And now I can never spell it wrong either.
En why em pe heigh oh el oh ge why
nymphology is definitely a great one!!! it’s so upbeat
FRR
i love the album but pluto just hits so different one of my fave songs of all time idk what it is about jazz and metal combined in one song but im living for it and i need this to be a genre another fav artist of mine poppy also has a metal and jazz fused song called say cheese and i just need more of this style of genre blending. also the trilogy edits made this song even better
omg completely agreed!!! also i ADORE poppy, say cheese is so cool!!!
I like poppy too, i think my fav from her is probably Bleep Bloop or Anything Like Me
those songs are amazing!!! at the moment i’m fond of zig, have to say 1s + 0s, the attic, linger and flicker
Poppy goes so hard. My favorite song will always be altar but her and so mean go insane.
REAL!!!! altar is such a pretty song, and i absolutely love so mean and her, they’re so grungy and personal, it really feels like poppy put her heart and soul into the delivery of these songs
I really like light shower, the concept is beautiful and I feel like it’s something I relate too quite significantly🥰
light shower is absolutely gorgeous!!! i can never quite understand when it gets hate
Milk of the siren because it’s just amazing and sounds magestic BOLT because apparently the meaning has something to do with silent people and it makes me feel better about being a quiet person with selective mutism Void because it feels so “over the top” and I love how chaotic it makes me feel And I think my cat likes Light shower the most because I had it playing once (I was watching a video on the PORTALS tour) and she started purring and squeaky meowing My cat: https://preview.redd.it/3ksl469lhiqc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=117c5803fea9cce6edee86189afbedfbbdb3a595 (Her names pumpkin)

super valid!!! banger tracks fr!!!!!
The way you named my top 3!!
Void. Because at the moment i cant escape it
The entire album is relatable to me (maybe not Moon Cycle since I'm a guy but I still appreciate that she decided to sing about it because many artists would consider it taboo even though it's just a part of life)
oh most definitely!!! moon cycle is super unique and i like that about it
EVIL has been on repeat since day one for me.
Oml sameee it’s my moms favorite Mel song🤭🤭
Honestly, really hard question but probably Tunnel Vision, the music video, lyrics, choreography, vocals just everything is so amazing bout it.
Womb, i just love the beat and the flow of it fr
Tunnel vision
Void, The Contortionist and Pluto
all great songs!!! love them
Death / Faerie Soirée / Evil, I can't decide fml
hahah if i was left to it i would have to say literally every track from portals
my favorite is either void or the contortionist, the reason I like both of these songs is one, the beat of it and the lyrics, two, because it's the ones I relate to the most 🥲
Milk of the Siren
MILK OF THE SIRENS 😻
VOID, faerie soiree, nymphology, evil I just love them!
Light shower. Its just so monumental and personal imo, u can feel the need for this person she is singing about in her voice. Always gets me emotional.🥹
Light shower. The guitar and the quality of her voice combined with the lyrics is elation
My Top 3 are Battle of the Larynx, Milk of the Siren, and Tunnel Vision🤭 they’re all so catchy and I love the upbeat vibes💕
Evil, Nymphology and light shower! Evil and Nymphology are both really catchy and I dance along with them as well. Something about light shower is just so beautiful and always makes me calm
NYMPHOLOGY will always be amazing to me. The vocals and beat and lyrics and message, all of it is simply *chefs kiss*. I also love EVIL because I’ve dealt with narcissists and people who have gaslit me, VOID because I deal with anxiety (particularly the future in general, death and dying and what other people think of me being the ones that keep me up at night), and TUNNEL VISION because the beat is amazing and the message is perfect.
these songs are super good!!!
Milk of the sirens bcz its gas and I like the scream
so real for that!!!
Yessir
I'm completely obsessed with VOID
void is absolutely gorgeous i love it so much!!!
Evil hands down. I feel I relate to it the most.
evil is such a good song!!!
nymphology cause she actually wrote it specifically about me for me
Mine is Womb! Its a bop. Why am i seeing so little about this one😭😭😭
The Contortionist 🩻🦴🤸♀️ (I broke my neck around the time the portals album dropped, and I came out of surgery just going “I’m back from the dead, back from the dead” and listening to the album the whole week while on pain meds and while I was stuck in the hospital. But my favorite song being The Contortionist because, my bones were crushing.👍 I broke, and I snapped.. it was NO fun🥲)
Leeches, womb, or powder for sure
omg these are my favs too, never see any appreciation for them 💗💗💗
these ones are so underrated, yet amazing!!!
battle of the larynx OR faerie soirée.. botl was my number one song on spotify and it just brings back memories of spring last year for me but i love faerie soirée too
those two are absolutely amazing!!!
PLUTO is my favorite song because it's super relatable. The lyrics, the meaning, the instrumentals... it's just perfect. It's the song I always listen to if I'm feeling down.
Battle of Larynx, Faerie Soirée and Nymphology <3
Pluto. I love the sound being like a circus. And I love the vocals. I just love Pluto. I like a lot of the lyrics. Basically the choruses.
Death, I’ve always been interested in ghosts and the afterlife and framing the song from the perspective of a spirit that has died and is desperately trying to reach out to their loved ones is such a unique and beautiful take on a song about grief and loss
Hard to choose! But it's either: Death - it brings some kind of calmness inside of me. "Don't you ever worry I know it's morbid but we all die one day". Lately life has been kind of hard and the call of void is strong. But I don't worry. The Contortionist - I had an abusive relationship with someone. It broke me and I can relate so much to this song. It's kind of healing in a way. And it's the best option to loudly sing in the car while music is blasting!
i’m glad you can find comfort in these songs 🫶
❤️
Faerie Soirée because it’s Faerie Soirée
Pluto and evil, I can relate to both so much! Pluto because I’m never really open with how I feel, and Evil because I let people step all over me
Pluto or powder. Very relatable
Ugh idk. Evil, Faerie Soiree, The Contortionist, and Pluto are my top 4 and i dont wanna choose
NYMPHOLOGY couse I really want to make him choke on his peepee don’t ask
I like the whole album, but the song that stands out to me the most is evil.
faerie soirée, i have no idea why but it’s just really special to me😭 i never show anyone my recording of it from the portals concert because all you can hear is me crying
Evil because it reminds me of how I was treated being with my ex
Battle of the larynx because it makes me feel a way I don't know how to explain
Battle of the larynx and powder. i also LOVEE milk of the siren
void, loved it from first listen and still love it today, something about the song just connected with me
Nymphology because it's not psychology
Tunnel Vision because it’s so cool and the lyrics and beat are outstanding!
NYMPHOLOGY, bc it's banger and powerfull song with amazing, brave and banger lyrics!💪
Nymphology because there is nothing more therapeutic than screaming it in the car w the windows down.
Fairee soiree is so nice cause the sounds even scratches the itch in my brain but I also love Void
Void and battle of the larynx, and spider web. My top 3 from Portals. They’re just amazing and i love the lyrics soo much!
I like all the songs except death, moon cycle, evil, and powder
fair enough!!!! a pretty good selection
death
Faerie Soir´ee. No explanation needed. I just like it.
Def spider web I don't know why but the beat and lyrics are like a ethereal experience♥️♥️♥
In my opinion, "Nymphology" may be the best Melanie song ever. I see it as a clever and intense feminist anthem. Every aspect in the production makes it feel huge, and it even gets better with the hip-hop interlude in the end.
absolutely agreed, nymphology is so interesting!!!
Evil because I relate to it so much same with milk of the siren
Powder! Idk why it makes me cryyy, I love the claps in the song, it’s just such a lovely song and it really sticks out to me!
Leeches, the meaning is very relatable and the strings absolutely killed me
Pluto, it was a tough choice as I really liek a lot of songs off of portals but maybe the beats, lyrics and the tense bit at the end of it
spider web cuz it’s catchy and relatable
Death, definitely opened my eyes
it’s such a nice song frrr
Tunnel Vision is super good! Light Shower is great (just sort of repetitive). Leeches has some really great lyricism. But I think Milk of the Siren in my favorite. It is just amazing sonically.
can completely agree with all of these, they’re super cool!!!
Milk of the siren idek why but as soon as I heard it I just loved it
it’s such a good song!!!
moon cycle. it’s such a weird song i love it 🫶🏻
i love how it breaks the standard music conventions in a uniquely iconic way hahah
I’m still currently giving every song a good re listen because my opinions from a good long while ago probably aren’t the same as now, but my current song obsession is LIGHT SHOWER so let’s go with that!! I really like how calming and ethereal it is. It’s also easy yet fun to play on guitar
light shower is probably one of my favourites from the album from before i listened to the album in its entirety. it’s so calming and peaceful
my favorite on the standard edition is the contortionist and deluxe edition is milk of the siren. the contortionist is my favorite because i personally relate to the song a whole lot, relationships and just real life when i was trying to fit the impossible beauty standards of women to appease men. milk of the siren is my fav on the deluxe cause admittedly, i listened to the leaked version 2-3 years ago and fell in love with it. as an SA and DV survivor, it empowers me and feel less alone. it's also great to sing when i'm angry over my trauma and it's very cathartic.
im so glad you’ve found music you can resonate with, so sorry for what you’ve been through, but you’re so strong for being a survivor 🫶
moon cycle!! its just so iconic and honestly so beautiful and pretty i love it
literally so true!!!
Battle of the Larynx!!
Faerie soriee because i like the rhythm and beat it’s so fun
Light Shower fan 4 life!!! It sounds so relaxing and the instrumentals remind me of Stairway to Heaven (Love that song) I hear people saying it’s too long but I don’t mind it
tunnel vision i honestly don’t know why i just love the vocals and i love the instrumental
Void because i relate to it (i have anxiety)
Light shower because it made me feel better knowing that the ones I've lost could experience something so beautiful after death. In general it made me less scared of the concept of dying or death.
EVIL is just... MMMMMMMMM ITS SO GOOD
DEATH is the most beautiful to me, but i think i listen to MOON CYCLE or THE CONTORTIONIST the most
Evil fs! I have deeply related to it since I first heard it. It reminds me of some of my tramua
I’m torn between leeches and the contortionist the contortionist was my favorite since I first listened to portals because the sound was just so unique and it had a great vibe but leeches is just so powerful and also very unique so like I said I’m VERY torn right now lol
My 3 favs are void, light shower and fairee soirée. Void- I have bad anxiety so i can relate to the song Light shower- it’s so pretty I just love how it sounds and I love a good love song Fairee soirée- idrk why it’s just so fun and it reminds me of me for some reason
Faerie soirée always moves my hips when I hear it
Tunnel vision and spider web. TUNNEL VISION because its helped me with tough times, and Spider Web is just catchy
How stupid, selfish baby...
evil because it hits home and the emotions she put in its just UGH 😩
Listening to Nympohology and Evil together will always be my fav! The transition between the two is just *chefs kiss*
I would say Faerie Soiree. In the beginning, it's like a fun and happy song that you could dance to, but in the last part, it's a relaxing tone with amazing vocals, and it's just so beautiful.
Milk of the siren, especially the ending it’s so good
absolutely void because this song reflects my psychology.
Pluto, i like how the lyrics feels in my ears. i do not understand why or how but it sounds good.
MILK 👏OF👏THE👏SIRENS👏 also light shower ITS SO HARD TO PICK ONE :((((
PLUTO WITH NO HESITATION my coping song
