    Skimmed thru it but it feels hella mid, especially compared to her last album.

    I didn’t think this would be better than Future Nostalgia tbh, she had something special with that album. I still think this will be a fun summer album though

    Had a quick listen, its fine. No Future Nostalgia but has some gems and some growers.

    French Exit, Maria, Falling Forever standouts for me based on skimming through. Gonna listen more closely later

    I haven’t had time to listen yet but this sounds about right. I never expected it to be as great as Future Nostalgia but still expect it to be good. I’m probably gonna like this a lot more than you though

    The vibe switch in the middle of Anything For Love was nice and unexpected. Maria might be another single

    It’s no Future Nostalgia but it’s still good. Feeling a 7/10 on first listen

    Even if it’s not as good as Future Nostalgia this is still probably gonna end up being one of the best pop albums of the year

    Absolutely.

    On first listen I just didn't notice the Levitating, Hallucinate, Physical type of quality.

    But some, like the ones I mentioned might very well grow to be like them for me.

    Agree with ur 7/10 rating btw solid album. No fall off

    @Ripper Roo after the kendrake stuff the first thing I heard in my car: how loooooooooooooooong

    Such a great and catchy song. Same goes for Watcha Doing, it slaps. Falling Forever should really be a single imo. But I'm no expert on numbers and sales so lets ask @Marsh to review my advise

    h--- yeah. I gave the album a second listen today, I need to listen to it more. I’ve said Maria could be a single. Falling Forever and Happy For You could also be singles, she’s already performing Happy For You on SNL. But yeah Falling Forever might be the best singing I’ve ever heard from her. Regardless of whether the album and singles are successful, this s--- has me dancing almost the whole time
