Stand outs in no particular order are Anaheim Star, Hot Wet Delirious, Miss Delicious, and Michael. My only critique is that Speakerphone shouldn't have been the last song. An album closer should be a song we've never heard before, but it ends on something we're already familiar with which is kind of a buzzkill.

This record is easily AOTY for me. Not a single miss, all smash hits, INCREDIBLEEEEEE! If this doesn't solidify her as the next princess of pop then I don't know what will.

Top three are definitely bad thing (bunny hop), never get over me, and kiss me. Side note, it's probably just my OCD but I hate when artists choose to release albums/songs where everything is styled lowercase. Is that just me??

I Know You're Hurting is probably SOTY... I've tried to fight it, but the music crescendoing and her voice hitting those high notes is just... superior to anything I've heard all year. Absolutely incredible.

WOAH, okay! Kinda stumbled on this song by accident and I was surprised by how much it slapped! Music video is really cute too

Really pleasantly surprised by the entire album. Rain is THAT girl

Idk, she teased studio work on her story back in 2024 and look where we are now... hopeful, but I'm not going to put too many eggs in this basket quite yet

Sooo excited for this! Ultraviolet was such a good trio of songs, but I need an album!

Now who is this "we" you speak of?? ES is easily her best album to date. Maybe you're confusing it with Positions?

I can appreciate the grandness of this album: her incredible vocals, the musicality, the booming orchestra on every single song, the storytelling that ties each song on the album together... but I just don't think this is an album I will be revisiting as often as I would've hoped. I don't know how to explain it, but it feels more like a "movie" and less like an "album" if that makes sense? Not a bad thing in the slightest because it's an incredible work of art, but I guess I was just expecting something else, and that's on me tbh My favorites on first listen: I Know You're Hurting, Goodbye Henry, Skin & Bones, Where Is My Husband (duh!), Fields, and Joy

One of those rare albums where every single song is peak perfection. I can see myself skipping the Prayer interlude, but my god this is easily AOTY it's incredible

I thought you were over exaggerating, but yeah it's baaad. The album is still enjoyable but how am I supposed to sing these songs in the car when I can hardly discern a single word

Wait, is there an original demo of Blow My Mind out there somewhere?? Edit: Oh I'm an idiot lmao, it's from her 2002 album. Clearly, I'm a more recent fan of Robyn and had no idea. Listening to it now and WOW the difference between the two is really fun to listen to!

DANCE... is arguably one of her best songs she's ever released (imo), so I'm excited to finally sit down and go through this entire project

How Unoriginal must feel knowing they don't have to update this thread a million more times
