"Holiday Party" is by far the best song on the album

Artwork doesn't match the album vibe at all lol.

I think it does!
it really reflects most of the lyrics, a very "domestic" vibe while trying to also looks sexy for her man and be as sexual as possible fearing he might lose the interest but also being a millenial, a mom, a pop singer, an icon...

If you mixed Carly, Kacey and After Laughter's era Paramore.

I don't know, I think the Roommates single cover reflects the somber sound and existential crisis lyricism just as well. But I do see your point.

I wish the roommates cover was a variant for the album so bad. I went with the Mature variant since I plan on getting the (mine) stand alone release on NRD.

Something less grey for sure.

Tell Me That Won't Happen

Excited to listen to this in 2 hrs when i get off of work.. Loving how so many people have different favorites.

Even being pretty mid-tempo from what I've read and not having a BANGER like OIAM like I wanted I'm still very excited for this album.

The bridge of We Don't Talk sounds like Mr. James Dean???

I'm happy for the good sis's comeback, but I prefer her edgy.

Accidental or not, adds a whole new layer of irony.

The Optimist is such a gem

Truly one of those songs she missed in her catalogue.

I'm so excited for this. Hopefully I can stay up. If not tomorrow.

THE OPTIMIST DESTROYED ME

HOLIDAY PARTY IS THAT BITCHHHHH

ADULT SIZE MEDIUM'S OUTRO... BYE

Haven't seen the credits yet but I'm liking this songwriter, storytelling narrative style going on, very close to Taylor Swift and Kacey Musgraves'. The singles are definitely the rightful picks but The Optimist SHOULD be next.

Overall this is a very cute album. I mostly enjoyed the dreamy Growing Up -> The Optimist -> You, From The Honeymoon run.

Just listened and wait I'm actually shook at the lyrics!! The Optimist actually stopped me in my tracks, wow that's such a beautiful but sad song. I LOOOVE the outro of Adult Size Medium, love the album title reference.

I just think the lyrics are very unique and fitting, which makes sense because they are so personal. The songs really do tell stories.

My least favs in first listen were Growing Up & Tell Me That Won't Happen. We'll see if they grow on me or not. But I enjoyed the rest of the album.
