If calling a musical project a "flop" is done in a way that insults or disrespects an artist,

But the album is quite literally flopping into oblivion and that's a fact.

At worst, you could argue this is an Ava Max quality album. I just checked metacritic and apparently Diamonds and Dancefloors has an 80  . I still think this album has a lot more personality than that. I'm still not sure where this will end up in my overall Katy album ranking but it's definitely a huge step up from Smile and probably Witness.

This is why I can't and never will take critics seriously. D&D is very similar to 143 so the reviews being so different makes no sense to me. D&D scored a 7/10 from The Line of Best Fit and had the title "Ava Max's Diamonds & Dancefloors is pure pop escapism" - whereas 143 received a 2/10 and had the title "Katy Perry succumbs to mindless club fillers on 143" - they're not even being subtle with their bias at this point. It's quite apparent that these so-called critics are being malicious towards Katy for other reasons than the actual music they're supposed to be reviewing.

143 is literally bop after bop and some of the later album tracks are career highlights. Katy they'll never make me hate you!

This. Critics have bashed Katy from day one.

They truly think KatyCats of all fanbases care about Metacritic scores  I know some people need the external validation but that's just not us!

Wait what's aurora new nickname? I can't find her anymore. I have not seen her since WW release.

 

of course this is pluming on spotify

Does anyone know the context here?

 

I know it's from the Zane Lowe Apple Music interview she did recently for the album but I haven't had time to watch it. 
 

She sounds so sad 

 

 

He said there were 100 people out of AM build waiting for her

This is from the first minute of the interview. Zane mentions how there's over 100 people outside and that it's like a sold out event and then she replies with what's in the video on Twitter. He then segues into talking about how she worked hard to establish a name for herself and if she's still surprised that people still show up for her. It was a nice moment tbh and not as sad as that Twitter clip makes out. 

when i first listened to has a heart i was like "what is this cliche, smile leftover sounding mess, thank god it didn't make the album" but now i kinda can't stop bopping and need it on spotify helpppp 

'Cause one day, when we're older
Will we still look up in wonder?
Someday, when we're wiser
Will our hearts still have that fire?
Can somebody promise me
Our innocence doesn't get lost in a cynical world?
One day, when we're older
Will we still look up in wonder?
 

 

Had to do a mashup for this!

 Thank you for the clarifications!

I never noticed how similar they sound. It's kinda funny considering that Kelly has two Katy demos on one of her albums. Katy giveth and Katy taketh.

I bought the Target edition of 143 today and omg the booklet photos are EATING 

Can't wait to listen to "HAS A HEART" on my CD player without any quality loss! 

 

Speaking of "HAS A HEART", I can 100% confirm it's Daisy on this song - it says so in the lyrics booklet!

Spoiler

Crush on my running playlist 

CRUSH is such a bop! hope she chooses this for next single

Lucky charm

 

 

 

Thank god Had A Heart didn't make the standard edition because it would be getting a 2/10 from me . I haven't listened to No More Tears in full yet but it sounds promising.

I think the Target edition is the same as the HMV version that I have, so I agree about the booklet photos eating. Such an aesthetically pleasing era, but to be fair, she always delivers when it comes to photo shoots! 

I think we aren't appreciating enough Gorgeous-IHHM run, it's an explosive so powerful duo
