FlyOnTheWall

Not less than 500 ******* units

I can see them releasing a deluxe around the Hollywood Bowl performance and it getting a little push from that and the videos that will probably go viral from it

Germany i actually do feel like the album got a bit of attention here all things considered, been seeing a lot of talk about it on German social media (my algorithm being to blame as well tho lol) @ UK tho, they used to love her sm, they must've not even realized she has a new album out lmaooo

These are... okay... they're not as atrocious as some of the crimes on the standard but they're also not really great. For what it's worth i actually enjoy Cleveland the most on here the "haters are just jealous" shtick has become real tired but overall the silly nature of the lyrics on it didn't make me wanna stab myself unlike the attempts on showgirl. Patient Zero is decent and then comes the bridge. Pink Clouding and Babylon are both unremarkable but again at least not aggravating like Cancelled or Actually Romantic or such.

Aftermath has been my new obsession these past few days

I wish Columbia did what atlantic did here but with the Golden Burning Sun demo on Something Beautiful. Oh if only Columbia cared to play the chart game a little more with Something Bombing

Aftermath starting out as her Radiohead serve just for Maxx to turn it into her Björk Hyperballad serve

The Aftermath (Demo) sounds soooo pretty

Considering they're all as much chronically online losers as everyone on here and these jokes have also been made on Twitter, yeah, that diss most likely wasn't an original thought.

Ophelia... the singles taken out its between Ruin the Friendship and Honey... damn

Also that "there's no bass on bass persuades" joke has already been run to the ground by Miley's very own stans for the first couple of days after release.... so... they're like not even being original with their snark

I'm so tired of this being overly cynical to seem edgy, cool, unbothered and contrarian shtick that has been run to the ground online

Only -8% and Let's Get Married rising isnt tooooooo terrible at least

Well.... if all 4 are excellent top notch state of the art songs maybe she'll at least be able to push the album from a 3/10 to a 5/10

This album is SOOOYYYYYY GEWWWWD when you don't have an annoying alt pop gay in your ear whining about it being trash been having so much fun with it

This (dead) fighter of an album. got to admire it trying its best!!

I feel like the only reason she signed with another label is that while, yes, she could fund an era independently, she's probably just too damn lazy to organize all the stuff around it like vinyl pressings and co. She probably said "ok if another label feels like backing another of my albums cool, less for me to do" and called it a day

I'd rather take millie flopping for eternity with dignity than her running back to Dr Luke for a Party in the USA rehash

I'd be fine with anything but watered down top40 pop like she tried with Confident and DWYDTAOSO (which were borderline terrible). TYLM, INTD and HF were all excellent. So either go deeper on one of those sounds or try something totally new.

LETS GOOOOO Taylor, let's course correct from Shartgirl and serve some excellence again

As someone working in journalism "sources say" and then not citing ... a single source... is death punishment behavior to me But no probably not true.

Like... we're on Tuesday of the release week and.... it's absolutely dead. Like this is absolutely insane she even stopped posting about the songs on Instagram. It's like she wants to perform even worse than she would already do. Which... fine I guess... again I don't really care about the numbers but if she didn't want to promote/do appearances/perform etc why did she even sign with another label she could've easily fund this album herself and pull those brand deals on board to basically not lose any money

I think miley stans might just be some of the most critical stans around when it comes to their favorite artist you just seem parasocial and mad that artists don't adjust to your expectations

After sitting some days on this and logging out from here to digest this in peace, this is really quite a gorgeous body of work. Like all songs on here range from good (Let's get married) to all time best material (redlights, different religion). It's too short, yeah, but I've grown to accept it. Adding Smile and deleting the remix the album still clocks in at 37 minutes, that's slightly longer than Meet Miley Cyrus (33 minutes, also 10 songs) and just slightly shorter than the 39 minutes of Plastic Hearts with 12 songs

This could just as well be the label caring to get as much out of her product as possible while at the same time allowing her to do the things she wants to. Both of these things can be true simultaneously: her not really caring and just wanting to make the music she wants to make and the label allowing it, while also wanting to make a profit out of it. Yall are super weird thinking most of these label made decisions directly translate to what the artists want or try to achieve it's like pop history and its repeated differences between artists and their labels have taught yall nothing
