Sabrina Carpenter's sophomore album Short n' Sweet made quite the splash when it debuted, and recently surpassed GUTS in total streams. The singles have seen massive success, with Taste and Espresso still in the top 10, and the first 7 tracks of the album have performed well on Spotify, all surpassing 100 million streams. The album is sitting at #3 on the Billboard 200 currently!   

 

But do you believe the album as a whole has aged well? Though the album was fun, I fear the topics get a little stale on multiple listens... so many of the songs are just her calling an ex (Shawn?) dumb/shitty but then also wanting to sleep with them  Because the topics across songs are similar I find myself not returning to many of the album tracks outside of Juno (ROTY) or Good Graces (which is basically an Ariana reject, lbr). What do y'all think?

No further comments needed.

Yes, as opposed to it being sweet and short, it has aged like fine wine

i don't listen to it much anymore but i still think it's a great album. maybe it's just a summer album

It was never good

It's one of the best debut albums 

It's a fun summer album. That's about it.

It's aging fine. But it's not like anyone is expecting this to be her magnum opus, it's literally called "Short and Sweet". 
 

It's aging like fine wine. I listen to it every single day and it never gets boring. I love that we have ballads, midtempos and bops. 

It has aged extremely well. I still listen daily. Don't Smile is my song. 

It hasn't even had time to age, wtf you talking about

This is so unserious. It's great

Does anybody have the chart run so far?

her personality shine through this album with the funny lyrics which help the album aged quite well and it just been 3 months lol

I don't know. I've been listening to albums from 2010 because of my personal chart. One day I'll get to 2024... 

It's about to surpass "Future Nostalgia" globally and "S.O.S." by SZA to become the biggest singles album of the decade. So I would say it has aged pretty well so far.

Didn't it come out three months ago? 

It's an incredible album and I still listen to it all the time. She has more songs on there that could be hits 

one of the best albums oat

okay maybe "aged" is a bad operative word, more like "are you returning to the album tracks?"

well yes, but that's enough time for people to see if they're returning to the album tracks and consuming the album as a whole, or just listening to the singles 

She's still Young n' Fresh.

To be honest, I think it'd make much more sense if you posted this thread next year rather than now. Three months isn't enough time for album quality, in my opinion.

It still sounds fine, will it sound fresh in a few years? We'll have to wait and see.
