Post Malone Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I Can Fix Him is a bore and redundant asf lyrically and is like utterly purposeless (the Sweet Nothing of this album), but I like it sonically, there's something about the chorus and the way she sings it so low and like the bass and spacious instrumentation during that part... the messner songs are more lively/creative but they don't have the expensiveness of Antonoff's worst song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles. Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I just had a fathoming and it is kinda breaking my brain. Fresh Out The Slammer functions as both a twin and a sequel to Getaway Car. FOTS is a twin to GC because both describe the same scenario: leaving one relationship and moving right on to the next one. FOTS is a sequel to GC because you're in a getaway car if you're fleeing a crime scene. Basically they got arrested and sent to the slammer, but now she's out and moving on. And he should've known that she'd be the first to leave because… think about the place where you first met me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintlor Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I can't wait for my Eras tour date It's crazy to think she's been a part of my day every day since the Speak Now era and her music has been played in the background of my daily activities every day and to then get to see her in person and perform her catalog 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitboga Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 26 minutes ago, GAGAISTHEBESTYA said: 1989 TV pure sales trajectory 1st day: 250k 2nd-3rd day: 370k (+120k) 6th day report (there were no 4th and 5th day report): +1.1m (+730k) Final: 1.36m TTPD Pure Sales trajectory: 1st day: 1.4m 2nd day: 1.5m (+100k all were from vinyls sales) 3rd day-4th: 1.6m (+100k all were from vinyl sales) I mean, based on this trajectory, the day6 numbers will be 4x of day1 number. Does that mean 4M more shipments will magically appear at day 6 for TTPD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitboga Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I guess this is more likely following midnights' trajectory, 800k 1st day; 1.15m last day, 1.4x multiple for the last day, which gives us: 1.4M first day x 1.4 = 1.96m pure, + 650k SEAs =2.65M final tally.

Achilles. Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 You left your typewriter at my apartment Straight from the tortured poets department I think some things I never say Like "who uses typewriters anyway" I love this anecdote. She was really like "I refrained from saying this at the time out of respect for the fragility of our new relationship but it's over now so I want you to know I found you ridiculous the entire time." Kill him, Blondie. The chorus is so good too. And some of the other melodies. But yeah, that second verse and all the namedropping holds this back a lot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParisTexas Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Spectrum Pulse's amazing review was already posted, so I recommend y'all to check out Mic The Snare's video on TTPD (and his channel in general - his discog dives are great). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midnight had 700k pre-orders only though and it managed to sell more than +400k pure after retails The data for TTPD is still at least +200k vinyls and +300k CDs behind.

Miles. Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 The Black Dog is kinda giving….. single?! Am I crazy? Even tho it's slow, it's incredibly catchy, sonically interesting yet fit for radio, and seems to be the top GP fave from the second half. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
