For example, when you click on the "new music releases" section on the Target site, there are 274 items (including Gag Order), but when you filter for the "in-store pickup" option, it drops to 31 items . Yeah but she needs those physical sales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 (edited) yall were right those singles we got were the worst on the album LOL I love when she sings and goes for acoustic / folky song, this is in contrast to OLCSUN where she tries to revisit the edgy white girl rapping and it just doesn't work anymore at all (why she talking about evel knievel wtf). I also think the project is weakened by too many filler songs like Fine Line and repetitive lyrics (egos, holy water, im a demon...). Ultimately i felt she had more interesting things to say, what do yall think Edited May 19, 2023 by cyclone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The7thStranger Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 My copy arrived a little while ago. What I previewed this morning sounded great. I'm gonna listen as I drive down to the venue to see Janet today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ego. Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 It’s taken me a few listens but I’m really starting to warm up to just about every track (the drama is gonna need a few more listens). Because of how cohesive the production and themes on this album are I think it makes a first listen through a bit tiring. I had a similar feeling listening to Chromatica and Renaissance the first time and then as I revisited them I was able to appreciate the tracks and album much more. Happy and Peace & quiet are my current favorites but I like every track! Despite this being an entirely new direction for Kesha it feels like an authentic record start to finish! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RihsUmbrella Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I went in expecting at least some bad tracks but honestly I didn’t find any (although I did doze off during Happy ). I loved it on the first listen. Definitely one of her best. Hopefully it has good replay value in the long run 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I really like how raw this body of work is. You can tell that she stepped out of her comfort zone and expressed her feelings the way she wanted to. Some lines are uncomfortable to hear, some songs are hard to consume, but that's exactly what this album is about - understanding her struggles and her point of view. It's such a new and different sound for her, but at the same time with her signature all over it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Why so much emphasis on the metacritic reviews when we can all hear the album ourselves and come to our own conclusions on how good it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because greater acclaim = greater press coverage and greater likelihood it will collect awards. It's not selfish for us to want the world to hear this album. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAg Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 trying to decide whether I should cover Living in My Head, Only Love Can Save Us Now, or Hate Me Harder hmmmmm… for those who have heard my singing what y’all think lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaicolT Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I'm so proud of her for this very personal and lovely album. I'm still obsessed with ETA. She has such a great courage to face the market with new sperimental music. Her talent comes out very clearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
