I'm happy people like this album after all the negativity with its singles. Can't wait to listen to it tomorrow.

My Vinyl arrived day earlier. It looks and sounds absolutely wonderful.

I guess the abum will land around 79-83 on Metacritic. TFG! is 89 (a little bit overrated imo).

Critics are weird af. Alexis giving a 5/5 to the previous one and now 3/5 to this.

Don't You Know Who I Am

imagining Sauna transitioning to Hot N Heavy at the Superbloom Tour and then Freak Me Now to Mr Valentine

This is an extremely enjoyable record

Superbloom, Sauna, DYKWIA, Mon Amour are my faves for now, her voice has evolved in the best possible way, I'm enamoured

Tracklisting def is not the strongerst on this album cause why is not 16 Summers a closer?

Mr. Valentine is a campy gem, but gays ask for camp but 9/10 fail to recognise and appreciate it (maybe that's why it's camp?).

My only complaint apart from the sequencing is that there's a profound lack of a Begin Again in this album (aka the best track of T!FG!), but maybe it's hiding itself in the title track?

I'm so getting tickets for this tour

Sauna

Had to pop in mid first listen to say I AM GOING TO F*CKING COLLAPSE I JUST HEARD DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM?

Sorry but this is kind of another masterpiece... The blend of synths with all that soul and groove... Everything sounds luscious

Superbloom, Automatic, Sauna and Don't You Know Who I Am? are the highlights for me

I have a feeling some critics will give her a low score, just because they don't wanna accept that a woman is giving a third good album in a row and because she's not giving us sad music. lol

I wouldn't say it's on WYP? level, but I feel like it's more interesting than TFG.

Under The Magazine 8/10
Clash 8/10
The Guardian 3/5
Our Culture 4/5
DIY 5/5
Riff Magazine 8/10

79 from 8 reviews on AOTY (same as Worst Girl in America actually )

People sleeping on chariots of love!

don't you know who i am theres lowkey some The Kill flavor in that one with that synth

superbloom is by far the best song of the album and a career highlight

the production, the vocals, the backing vocals, god this song is transcendental is everything she promised for the album in one single song

Still about an hour and forty minutes from being able to listen to this masterpiece.

I hope she posts Sam's first listen through of this album those are actually pretty enjoyable to watch. I do believe I saw her say some where the Mon Amour is his favorite track.

Listening through What's Your Pleasure? (Platinum Edition) in preparation. God the rumbling locomotive bass line of Eyes Closed is truly something else.
