also, she's had these concepts for years now :deadbanana4: yeah it might've been quick to finalize everything with max but the project was clearly not rushed

“rushed” when her best album so far was made in just under 2 months is crazy

The interlude being so early in the tracklist is interesting, I’m just ready to hear everything now

I'm sawry but like THIS is the best cover :clap3: it's giving a classic and kinda tied to the concept the most. The new streaming one is second best so not a bad choice either

the “rushed” allegations are sending me like did yall expect her to take a whole year doing one song and photoshoot per month..? Madonna made Ray of Light in 3 months let that sink in 

this. and everyone damn well knows she's a beast in the studio and can do a lot of stuff herself. it doesn't take her long at all to produce quality work

Can’t get excited for this album, it just screams flop and rushed.

 

That photoshoot alone looks terrible 

TUN was made in two and half weeks. The album booklet literally uses screen grabs from the 7 rings music video as the album photoshoot that's how rushed it was yet it's her most critically acclaimed and commercially successful album. ES may not be resonating with you but it's definitely not rushed.

I just need cohesive transitions between r&b and house tracks so that the album could flow like one great body of work. I'm kinda sure the songs won't disappoint. Least favourites judging by titles are "bye", "yes and", and "imperfect for you"

I’m so happy they changed the cover in the streaming platforms 

i just know it’s her team who convinced her to change it.

having the same cover for a single and an album is just not it

her new team is LISTENING :clap3:

I think it's going to be something like

 

1. intro (end of the world) - pop 
2. bye - slow pop/r&b 
3. don't wanna break up again - slow pop/r&b
4. Saturn Returns (Interlude) - transitioning to upbeat pop
5. eternal sunshine - pop/r&b
6. supernatural - pop/r&b
7. true story - pop r&b
8. the boy is mine - pop 
9. yes, and? - disco pop
10. we can't be friends (wait for you love) - disco pop
11. i wish i hated you - pop mid tempo
12. imperfect for you - pop mid tempo
13. ordinary things (feat. Nonna) - pop mid tempo

sweetener has also an intro (a shorter one actually) and an interlude and everyone’s loves it,  TUN an actual awful photo shoot and yet yall love it, and I don’t see how the tracklisting is boring, it’s actually way better than I expected and no cringe titles at all :celestial5:

sweetener visuals >>>> everything from this era so far except the yes, and? video, which I maintain is definitely one of her best. I absolutely hate the photoshoot for TUN but it's still a lot more visually appealing than a lot of the cover variants, save for maybe the one of the ponytails. 

 

I'll cop to the fact that I'm being pretty negative about "the era" at the moment (if you can even call it that), but it's not just not hitting for me, and I enjoy yes, and? quite a bit! Maybe my overall sentiment will change once I actually get to hear the album, but I don't understand the lackluster visuals and rollout for a concept album. This is her seventh album, and her first in over 3 years, it should feel more exciting. Maybe there's more planned for post-release but judging how she has treated her last few albums in recent years I don't have much faith. Hoping to be totally wrong and eat my words though.

I generally agree, although I think 5-7 will be the most r&b-ish and the boy is mine gonna be pop/rnb transitioning to pop/disco/house tracks.

I also assumed she hinted at WCBF being the second single, a weird choice cause the first house track bombed underperformed

Remember her magnum opus 'Christmas & Chill' was written, recorded and produced in 1 week :snowman: so with Ariana, 'rushed' may mean abs. nothing.

I don’t think it’s supposed to be literally 1 beep = 1 word, maybe it is who knows, I guess we’ll see but I really think the title track is the next single

1 beep = 1 word is the way it was in the tracklist on her website, but I also do hope the title track is the next single so we'll see. maybe she knows it'll be a 25 week #1 smash right out of the gates so no need to promote it :clap3:
