I think it gives the perfect vibe.

It's giving millennial mom energy binge-watching a slightly spicy Netflix show after 10pm, feeling butterflies in her stomach, pouring herself a martini, lighting candles in the bathroom for absolutely no reason, and fully romanticizing her life for 47 minutes…

then waking up the next morning to iced coffee, school runs, and back pain like nothing ever happened.

I feel the album will get only better with time, loved it! Favs are def You, From the Honeymoon, Holiday Party and Adult Size Medium. About The Optimist, is it first time Hilary was so vulnerable in her songs? I actually needed a sec to process this one

It probably is just me, but You, From the Honeymoon is giving me somehow Kacey's Cherry Blossom vibes

Important question: does this album has any song similar in vibe/sound to Come Clean.....

Some fan accounts might record it and post it later on

No

The Optimist...... oh WOW

The lyrics for the optimist oh wow!

oh my hot I am loving this album and the lyrical content. Incredible to have Hilary the pop star back!

My faves:

Growing Up

We Don't Talk

Holiday Party

Roommates

Mature

Tell Me That Won't Happen

Adult Sized Medium

The optimist and growing up lyrics!!

The Optimist is the best song but needs better production to elevate it to 5/5 territory.

(Mine) bonus tracks snippets!

They sound so fresh !

Based on these snippets, With Love is the only one that sounds very different imo, they did a great job recreating the songs.

Ouch :(

Why does So Yesterday sound like one of those YouTube Karaoke tracks I would sing to back in 2006? Still excited to hear them in full!! Her voice sounds different, but same too?

Only Future Tripping sounds like her old songs. This album is pretty monotone and flat sounding. Nothing catchy. It's definitely more mature with a lot of explicit and horny lyrics. This album is not for me but I'm happy about the re-records!

After listening to the album, the Roommates single cover should've been the album cover. It fits that mellow, sort of mystical vibe that the album has.

Does the album sound cohesive? Are the songs sequenced in a good way?

this album is such a career highlight for her. adult size medium was the perfect closing track and is absolutely gorgeous, its gonna be amazing to see her perform that live

This is an EXCELLENT album! Liked this better than Taylor's recent release (and I'm a die hard Swiftie so that's saying a lot).

Love the subtle nod to "Somebody That I Used To Know" in "We Don't Talk". Is this an official interpolation?

Future Tripping is so bouncy. So 80s and just so light.

I'm only on my second listen. Props to Hilary and Matt. 10/10

It's very cohesive, I would say. Roommates and Mature were actually such great representatives/sneak peeks. There are some songs that are a bit more somber, almost folklore-esque, but still very much fitting the sound scope of the album.

felt cohesive too me (probably her most cohesive alongside Dignity)...and I had no issues with the sequencing...really enjoyed how the album ended actually
