The bridge is everything. It really helps make everything feel massive towards the end of the track. It even mimics the feeling of trying to keep your cool when you're in the surging emotion of a new love. So good. The more I listen the more I'm in awe, genuinely

totally hear that. starting the album over right away from Cigarette Smoke being at the end of a relationship to the giddy optimism of Drop Dead could totally be jarring. Almost like the musical "The Last 5 Years" in a way

1:50 eastern currently, but the rest of your point stands

because of the emotional whiplash?

It's so impressive, agreed! You're seeing someone mature through both the music and also through her life, relationships, etc. We now have a taste of what "grown-up" Olivia music sounds like. As a "thirty-something year old teenager fan" from her last two albums, there's almost a sense of pride watching someone grow into their full potential professionally. She's escaped "disney star" status at this point officially IMO.

Do people still care about metacritic? because she's at 90 rn I ask because there's only 4 on there at the moment and the top 100 feels different, not to mention that you still can't see music scores when going to the artist profile

Yes and no. Vampire is sad and also angry, where as this is definitely a "so in love" track. It gets very fun!

one of her ballads that build to not a ballad, if that makes sense

I got tickets for cheaper than I did for Chromatica ball and thought she turned off dynamic pricing. Turns out I was just really damn lucky and idk how to feel about it. Dynamic pricing is criminal.

Looks like it's officially the Summerslam theme this year! Not a surprise since she's hosting, but still!
