MusicIsMyMaster Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 okay I need this on vinyl but Kali took my coins
butterflymimi Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 the last half of the album from can’t go back baby made much more of an impression on me than the first half. it’s my least instant album from him however i know in a couple of listens i’ll be obsessed
SlowGinFizzzz Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 I'm obsessed. Probably my Album of the Year already.
Illuminati Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 Somehow every new Troye album is his best 1
UnusualBoy Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 I liked the album overall, I'll probably skip 2-3 songs but the rest goes from good to excellent.
PaloSanto Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 He's honestly such a fun artist to follow, he keeps growing and getting better, it's truly been a joy to experience his musical journey. It's too soon to rank the album amongst his other projects but I liked every song on this. Will post favourites after a couple more listens 2
liammmmacbtw Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 made what would be considered a radio rix for still got it. added drum instrumentation and dynamic. take a second to listen if you're curious 🥰
WildAmerican Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 first listen and i like it a lot but it kinda gives chill background music for the most part, we'll see what sticks on additional plays

That’s why I’m having trouble connecting.
Riverbank Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 Bloom was a masterpiece but this is such a good and solid follow-up. My only criticism is that the album is too short (barely 30min, that basically an EP ). Certain songs could've done with a bridge too. Can't Go Back Baby is definitely my favorite new track.

Red Mage Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 The girls that don’t get this album REALLY don’t get it. Troye tapped into something the gays should all resonate with… but you know… not everyone does.

Will post favourites after a couple more listens !!!! this has honestly been the best part of following him, he gets more confident, experimental and polished with each effort to see so many people praising him is exciting and i hope it’s affirming to him he’s moving in the right direction. 1
ATRL Moderator madonnas Posted October 13, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted October 13, 2023 I’m rarely one to care about this but I really feel like a lot of the songs feel so… childlike? Teenager core? He’s 28. He should be making more songs like Rush that are for adult gay men not infants. that being said there was enough good in the album to save it from being a disaster. It gets a passing grade but barely…. Silly and honey are good. Time is cute. But still got it is one of the worst songs of the year. 2 3

I was just having this discussion with my friend, that as a queer people this is exactly what Ive always wanted. Queer music doesnt always have to be dance and club stuff and also doesnt always have to be about fashion or being fierce etc. Thanks Troye 2
djcalpal Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 A perfect queer pop star has emerged. I went to my first Troye concert in 2016, and I'm so impressed by his personal and musical growth. This is really his time!

I mean, dealing with people's delayed emotional maturity and reliving experiences for your childhood self are kind of quintessential gay experience lol 2

But he’s pushing 30, I just need something different at this point. And I think the sorta midtempo sad boy diary entry type song is pretty overdone at this point. It’s well produced but I just wish he went down a different direction. I’m not saying I oppose variety but it’s just too childish for me as a 31 year old.. 3

You put into words what I was struggling to say. I thought the album would've been more mature sound a la Rush. Even a track like Got Me Started is cute. But give us something else.
