Cheap Thrills 9.0

A great song with Chappell and a masterpiece without her

Her "better record" was Lover so it really doesn't matter much. We'll get turds either way.

Well-deserved due to Politik's presence

Good luck singing this live given how the chorus sounds even with autotune

My only criticism is that none of the new songs have the potential to be cult classics in their catalog the way Phobia, Pop The Balloon or Can You Afford to Be An Individual? are, for example.

Their best album since Broken Machine! Tracks 3 through #5 drag the album down a bit, but heavy guitar riffs and interestingly arranged slower songs - that effect layered over the vocals in "I Needed You Then, I Need You Now"??? It shouldn't sound this good! - make up for that momentary boredom. "Stray Dogs" and "Baby Kool (Evelyn)" are top-notch!

HORRIBLE timing for Harry Styles' Halftime Show considering his latest album has no hits that fit the occasion

Perfect song for the summertime It's a bit of a shame that it probably won't get the attention it deserves, given that the previous singles didn't gain much traction.

Oh I just knew that Evolution was just generic radio fodder for the masses and that the real gems would only be revealed later. We're so back! The production is amazing!

It's good that she realises people listen to her for the bops Off-topic but have any psychedelic tracks (in a similar vein to Houdini and Training Season) from Radical Optimism been leaked?

This better be good. Evolution was incredibly mid.

Both this song and bandaids are such a good direction for her (I prefer bandaids tho). The gays who convinced her to go back to Luke last era due to the whole "she has nothing to lose at this point" argument deserve jail!

It's so cool that she acknowledged ✨ love light ✨ in a song. The chorus didn't really win me over but the verses sound amazing!

I don't think so. All we know is that this one and the official one were taken on the same day.

only on alternative covers (and not even all of them). The original cover was taken on 24 April 2019. The photos from the shoot on her website contained metadata that gave it away

I was obsessed.mp3 with my way on the first day, then I was obsessed with expectations on the second day, and now I'm obsessed with what's wrong with me. Oh Olivia, you've created a masterpiece

I really wish the great reception WYP? has received among the gay community didn't make her create music meant mainly to appeal to them. That being said, the bridge is fantastic.

Good. Man I Need doesn't deserve to be #1. Save that spot for the better song - So Easy (To Fall In Love).

Actually, Jason Momoa as Hagrid saying "You're a homo, Harry" was funny. Also, I support any mockery of that series (and I don't mean HP).

It's a good song, just safe and not the best he's ever done. Some people here are acting like fools.

That girlie pretending to be surprised, as if she didn't put Taylor's music on loop on one of her devices and leave it running for a year for the sole purpose of being #1 listener and being able to record this stupid TikTok... Oh her therapist is clearly terrible at their job.

The synths in Electric and Never Really Over are quite similar, and this song is like the pop rock Never Really Over, so I can see the similarity.

Her releasing this during the European leg of the Lifetimes Tour to immediately secure that European smash hit, oh Godty WDGAF about America. It may not be as good as NRO but it has a similar slightly melancholic vibe that makes both of these songs so great. She's so back!

I appreciate that Come Back is the closer. You don't have to skip it, you just turn off the album.

I wish I liked the album as a whole a bit more, and I wish there were one song I could be obsessed with like it was with Attention, Kiss Me More, and Streets from her previous albums, but it's still a solid project. AAAHH MEN! and Gorgeous will be in use.
