Too much filler

You disproved your thread title with the very first sentence of your post

wtf

Chappell Roan sucks and the Expectations remix is just her obnoxiously screaming over Olivia's vocals. I was really enjoying not seeing or hearing anything about her and now everyone is back to droning on about how "important to the culture" she is

It's funny to think back on the thread that was created when the collab was first announced. I remember pages and pages of people declaring her career irreparably dead and over and that this would haunt her forever

Thank you for illustrating the pointlessness of this 'record' by comparing the spammed, fanbase-fueled entries to legitimate, durable hits actually consumed by the GP

SO happy for her, she really pulled it off On an unrelated note, Dua Lipa has zero #1 albums

this rant feels extremely AI generated

@Tylerbv Don't listen to this user, pls never change your avi. Nicole GODzel for life

It's embarrassing how much I'm freaking out over the chances of this actually going #1 PUSH SMILERS PUSH

LOVING the album

It's MUCH better than Something Beautiful but isn't hitting the highs of Plastic Hearts and ESV. It's already growing more with each listen though

Her touring/residency comments… She has no obligation to do anything she doesn't want to do, and Smilers are incredibly parasocial, but damn, what a slap in the face to international fans (which she has more of than American fans at this point).

Sure, but it feels like this era was supposed to be a deliberate course-correction after Something Beautiful (new label, mononym rebrand, high-budget video, variants, mainstream lead single). That's why I say it "needed" to bring a lot more to the table, and from my own experience along with the general online consensus at this point, we're far from "OH MY GOD SHE DID IT " and that's worrying.

Dance The Night. Like… why not just call it Dance The Night Away?
