I feel like the swiftologist noticing all the little differences in the mixes and vocals im so embarressed

I have the mind of a mastermind

Either it comes out US time (understandable even if it is a little annoying), UK time (makes sense considering she's most likely in London for Jay's concert right now), or it's a physical exclusive and we can all join the circus

I mean knowing her, would it not make sense that it'll release globally at midnight est or pst?

I keep switching back and forth between both albums and ugh, they're just so fab. I just adore the tones of their voices. I truly can't decide which who is my favourite. Also, I can't wait to see how they'll perform this album on tour with hopefully a bigger budget. (UK flolifers pull through and free Leave You (Never) from the vault before hackers inevitably get to it lol)

I know they mentioned Beyoncé as one of their inspirations for blending pop and r&b and I do see that. If AAA was their "Dangerously in Love", this is definitely their "B'Day" (also bc they're loud af on this album lol) I thoroughly enjoyed it though! I really did see their vision here and I applaud the storytelling and track placements.. even if I did have to have a drink and garden a lil to endure Pose lol

Raye (and PinkPantheress tbh) have made me so nostalgic about the UK and what it can be like when the whole country isn't a mess. To be corny is to be free and this album did indeed contain hope! Lol I'm so glad I saw her for the first London show of the tour. This album is definitely gonna carry me through the rest of the year

While I think it would've been great in theory and obviously she adores Winter Woman, I feel like she didn't do this because it's a bit too similar to Escapism in some aspects. People would easily say she's trying to reheat her own nachos for another hit. This won't stop us from spreading the gospel of Winter Woman though!

Tracks 1-4 are Autumn, 5-8 are Winter, 9-12 are Spring, and 13-17 are Summer

I think it was a great idea to split the album into seasons actually. Some days I'll listen more to Winter and other days I'll listen more to Summer etc etc. The album is a lot but you definitely just need to spend a few hours just absorbing it all

Life Boat is so far the only "electronic" danceable song on the album

Even if some of the music isn't 10/10 I'm still very grateful we've been given so much music in the past year with the deluxe and Afterglow. 2019 me would never imagine a day like this (she also saw sense and released God To Feel)

Honestly I kinda don't I'm still trying to come to terms with the fact that she didn't put the HBHBHB bonus tracks on streaming for the 10th anniversary. let me stream for you florentina!

Was there at London Night 2 and the crowd LOVED break my soul they were so loud Some of the new outfits were kinda meh though. Even my friend who went into the show blind thought Act 3 and 4's outfits were bad

According to iTunes, it's track 4 of a 10 track album!

It was a leak from the FIFA 25 soundtrack in October when that game released I think? The label submitted the song for that so I believe it's the final version.

"was"? Anyway, I need to hear all the singles in a club otherwise I'm rioting in the streets

I assume that they created it too late in the deadline process, considering MNEK said some of the transitions were created after the cd/vinyl deadline, so kept the original version on the album. If the feature was on streaming but not on cd/vinyl then people would probs get mad. Plus, a deluxe would get more attention with a CxH feature so it's a win win situation. I'm perched anyway

I think the Shoulda Woulda Coulda drum is just syncopated, no? Anyway, a really solid debut from Flo I'm very happy with this album. I think that they had just enough experimentation. It's their debut album so in my head they're just building a solid foundation of a catalogue now that they have a studio album. Excited for tour now.

I actually quite like how Kylie has rolled out Tension II to be honest. She hasn't hidden the fact that it was supposed to be a reissue for T1 and I think that it wouldn't be as marketable to the GP if it was just a deluxe for an already year old album, especially since she decided to tour the era to the extent that she's doing (i.e. NA, Asia, etc). By packaging it as a new album, she's given it a certain momentum and attention that a reissue just wouldn't give in my eyes. Also, as for the tracks, we still got 9 new tracks? Sure, a lot of people wouldn't really care for the collabs but its at the end of the digital tracklist for a reason. They aren't bad either. Bar MOM and the Sia track they're actually pretty good. I like to think that to get away from just rehashing Padam Padams and Tension title tracks (which a lot of you pessimistic lot would also just bash as a plain money grab anyway), TII kinda has everything that a Kylie album has been in recent years? It's got club bangers (LCA, Hello, KBB, SFM), some with more Disco elements (GAG, DTTM), and even some country influence with MR. Finally, I too am sad that some of the T1 outtakes didn't make it but maybe that's because some hags leaked the majority of them last year? Just a thought. I doubt Kylie wants to put songs that have been spoiled onto an official studio album. Let the girl have fun with newer camp material! You can still listen to the outtakes on your own as well as the official 29 tracks this double era has given us. I know it's a bit pointless and ironic of me saying this on ATRL of all places but, and I say this lovingly, some people here really need to get a life and stop complaining about every single detail unnecessarily. You have 9 new tracks and one of your faves is going on a massive world tour next year to promote it! Sure, discussing it and giving criticism is great, and I'm not saying to blindly love everything. I love lurking on here and reading everything because I'm an insufferable gay as well, but its nice to just appreciate that Kylie has really been in her stride these last few years with Golden, Disco, and the Tension albums, which are of a really high quality.
