"Made by Ashley for Halsey,"

Back in September, she talked at the "Grammy Museum" about the way the album's purpose shifted over time. "I tried to be angry, and I was so calm and so happy and proud, and felt like I was exactly where I was supposed to be.I sat down to make a list of things I didn't like about myself because I thought it would help me make an angry album, and I wrote it and I cried. I read it and let some of my friends read it, and after writing it, I couldn't find any anger at myself, I just found forgiveness. I looked at the list and said, some of these things are true, some are not. You may feel that way about yourself, but it's okay, you're going to be okay." she said.
"Manic", an album about acceptance and shifting emotion, is the embodiment of that statement. The album comes with listening instructions from the artist herself. Two days before her album release, she tweeted a request: follow the track list order for the first album listen. "Some songs go together. Halves of a whole. so when Manic is out, pls don't skip ur excited asses to a random song," she wrote. So this is our review of Manic, in order, track by track, parts of a whole.
