Rush Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 Wait I just noticed the outro in How To Stay With You. The singing is so subtle but it sounds really good

Sam released in january with literally no competition (and a hit single) and still barely made it. Troye released with hit albums still charting (SZA, Morgan, Taylor) Edited October 15, 2023 by lillavend3r
justin. Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 Okay, the two songs I wasn't vibing with at first have grown on me so much (In My Room and Can't Go Back, Baby). What a flawless album. 1

Still great numbers though, comparable to SAM SMITH who just had a #1. Ah so that number is with bundles. He’s doing the same as usual then. Most artists are doing around half of what they used to do around bundle era
Lady Claire Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 The sales are totally fine. The album is unapologetic gay, his gayest one - and that was a risk. He knew that from the get go, that cover as a start. Idk if y'all are aware but there's a lot of teenage girls that like gay artists and stuff as long they're not too gay on how they are represented - they have to act and be a certain way to be "accepted" by them. Yeah, i'm talking about the ones who write Larry fanfics on wattpad and so on. Troye on his BN era was more accepted with his cute sad boy vibe, while his current version is probably "too much" for them lol Usually LGBTQ+ artists are consumed by these girls and obviously our community, but Troye made that album specifically for our community, and people outside that won't get it. And probably even some people inside our community will think he's doing "too much". His sales would obviously be affected but i doubt he gives a f. 9 2

Jukebox Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 This is a really really well produced album and it’s so cohesive. Is it completely my cup of tea? No, not at all but the songs I enjoy I really enjoy. Some of it gives me Cub Sport vibes too which I love. My standouts are: Got Me Started One of Your Girls Rush How to Stay with You What’s the Time Where You Are? Honey I don’t understand the hype for Silly at all though. Empty, unfinished sounding song.
MaxMartin Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 The problem with silly is it's empty sounding, the vocals are drowned by the instrumental, too much whisper. The hooks are there and the synths are fire. So much potential , still a bop though
Frozen99 Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 last night i couldn't sleep, i had how to stay with you and the sax clicked so hard, i love the song now. and the opener is such a sleek bop. currently overplaying honey. it's definitely his best album, hopefully he gets top 20, deserves top 10 (#1 in a dream ).
One Rude Boy Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 Got Me Started, and Honey especially, are immaculate. Kinda got distracted by these two when streaming the alber, but excited to give the full thing an attentive listen. But I just know that GMS and Honey are both pop perfection
TrueBlood Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 So, it's a nice album. I think nothing comes closer to Rush, probably just One of Your Girls. I needed more uptempo numbers and in general it doesn't feel like a progression at all after his last album. Actually, it sounds more like he went back to his debut record. In a Dream remains his peak so far.
PopKills Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 Angel Baby would’ve been sucha great outro for the album but I get why he didn’t wanna include it

I fell in love with Jesus At The Gay Bar earlier this year and when I heard Rush I knew he would go for that sound, which I love too!
OrgVisual Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 The album is growing on me. It has a relaxing background music vibe HONEY is the absolute highlight after the singles. Don't fight me

I'm not sure if the same producer was involved but it has that vibe.
selena_lavigne Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 (edited) So, I pressed play after listening to the first four songs again last night. And the middle part is slapping. Silly sounds like a Leland song. I have to listen a couple more times before my review. Honey also grew on me. Edited October 15, 2023 by selena_lavigne

I'm not sure if the same producer was involved but it has that vibe. The two albums really are companion albums. Even the artwork fits so well together! I'm sure my little aussie twink had that album on the moodboard while "In A Dream" was on Cup Sports moodboard for making JATGB
Popboi. Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 30k is just... fine. Kinda underwhelming next to his other albums and even TRXYE but we do have to keep in mind IN A DREAM was a tremendous bomb. The singles had way better reception than anyone would've anticipated so it's only up from here if he keeps releasing steady and not taking long breaks.
Anthinos Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 I still haven't listened to the album, only previews. But the singles have been amazing and I hope he continues to experiment with his sound and do more uptempo music. I also love how unapologetic he is. Prince of Gay-Pop! I just bought the album on amazon. We have to support our community and our artists more. 1
