SinnerCity Posted March 13 Posted March 13 5 minutes ago, Aurora said: The day people stop erroneously conflating low quantity with high quality, that day the world will be a better place. You can also have both and neither. They’re not mutually exclusive outcomes. People quoting me are putting way too much emphasis on the 11 tracks comment. That has nothing to do with why it’s giving flop era to me. They were independent clauses. I actually looooved Houdini and TS and am glad she’s not scrapping the era. But this does feel like a 180 in terms of aesthetic and not in a good way imo. Either way I’ll still be perched on release day. So you loved Houdini and Training Season but have a problem with the quality of the songs and the visual aesthetic of an album you haven't heard yet and somehow you have a problem with the era? Just say you're here for the charts and move on, otherwise, your statement has zero correlation and lacks logic. 2 1
Ivan_brit Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Queen of Teasing… she basically announced during her Brit Award speech 3
Kristie Kuwa Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Ugh the title is horrible, sorry. Sounds like she spent too much time with Yoga participants who then went on to talk about bad and good energies.. Also I LOATHE the fact that both Houdini and TS sent completely different Signals than this album cover. She was serving leather, black and Red + Grunge + smudged makeup for 6 months only to reveal this cover? No mam 10 1 1

There’s no consistency with the visuals of Houdini and TS. 4
UnusualBoy Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Idk about y'all but I LOVE the cover!!! And enjoy the singles so I'm perched for this. 1

yourfaveisaflop Posted March 13 Posted March 13 I kinda love the title and cover. Little tracks tho. She better give us that ultra-deluxe edition !!!
tomo Posted March 13 Posted March 13 (edited) Big ass font too. I think I love it textless tbh. Edited March 13 by tomo

Kristie Kuwa Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Just now, Joyride said: it's very much giving Britpop. I can't complain. Ill tune in of course and I can also listen to an album even if I detest the title, but the management of this whole era compared to FN is just day and night (literally lol). Its CRAZY to see how great TAP was in hindsight 1
NEX Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Love the title, the number of tracks and the artwork. The songs are 2/2 so far, so can't wait to hear the rest 1
NoOneDiesFromLove Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Some of these lyrics are already giving very different vibes than those of Houdini and TS. Hopefully they don’t disappoint and the producers managed to make the album sonically cohesive because…
Digitalism Posted March 13 Posted March 13 I know the girls are pretty ignorant in here But the photo and font are inspired by 90s britpop specially Blur's the great escape. It's not that hard to see 1
ATRL Moderator wehavetostan Posted March 13 ATRL Moderator Posted March 13 Title could be iconic in the future (although I preferred Chaos Theory) but the cover could be a lot better 1
abelfenty Posted March 13 Posted March 13 (edited) The title and the artwork especially are atrocious, and a huge downgrade from the gorgeous aesthetic of Future Nostalgia That being said what matters most is the quality, which I’d not worried about at all because the first two singles have been phenomenal Edited March 13 by abelfenty

Alfred Bulgakov Posted March 13 Posted March 13 do we have any info on the length of the album? twitter is saying it's less than 30 minutes lol
smgupdated Posted March 13 Posted March 13 (edited) It reminds me of the artwork for Blur's The Great Escape Edited March 13 by smgupdated 6 1
PerfectCure Posted March 13 Posted March 13 I also don't really get why people compare this rollout to FN's. Sure, the management teams are not the same etc. but you have to keep in mind that their main aim with Future Nostalgia was to launch Dua Lipa as a superstar. Every single aspect from the live performances to, heck, even the clothing in her album cover had to be impeccable in order for people to notice her and listen to the music she'd keep releasing. Things have changed, they're not as worried as they were as then, and it's understandable. She may not be a household name, but she's definitely more known that she was back then. Things don't aaalways have to be perfect down to every detail. 1
Owlie Posted March 13 Posted March 13 queen dropping on my bday week love the cover, it already looks immaculate in my library
_Fey Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Ariana, Kacey, Bey, Taylor, and Dua really all releasing within the span of 2 months omg 1
