so he really meant "disco occasionally" huh.

Thank you so much Dr Luke for not only ruining their reputations but also their discography. Absolutely abysmal. As far as I'm concerned, this is a single album with only Jump and Go.

Although this is really good, it's abundantly clear that it is in fact a concept album tied in with the movie. That being said tho, Chains of Love is an immediate classic for Charli's discography. IDGAF. Dying for You is also a fun dance song, Always Everywhere is atmospheric and ethereal. I like Open Up as an interlude but on a 12 track album it feels like a bit of a wasted slot. And my god. Sky Ferreira sounds ROUGH on Eyes of the World. Maybe we don't need Masochism after ... read more

she was playing around in ariana (and randomly billie's?) demos with this album. that being said, it was still a good body of work! however, it feels like she has all this potential to be a dance/dark pop artist but persists on doing these mid-tempo wannabe altpop moments. we needed an album full of make you mine/15 minutes/yes baby/complexity. AND 15 MINUTES DIDN'T EVEN GET TACKED ON TO THE ALBUM?? What are we doing???

even with my complaints this was still a good start to the year. ... read more

is it 1989? no. is it reputation? well, maybe in fragments. and it's DEFINITELY not tortured poets. what it is is taylor having fun! and god forbid a woman who has 11 other studio albums decide to be happy and have fun for once on a full body of work

everyone is either pretentious, annoying, or both. relax. unclench. have fun! you can literally go back and listen to any other bodies of work by her if this wasn't your cup of soup. the reviewbombing is so corny and childish.

oh cashgrabja I missed you so much. a nice blend of 80s pop and r&b that comes together to make a really great body fo work. some career highlights on here as well. after not really liking scarlet, I'm glad she won be back with this one. jack antonoff I knew I could always trust you!

also, her using the term "khias" in gorgeous is so troll 😭😭

okay lola young! this pleasantly surprised me. I'm glad she leaned more into an alt pop/sometimes alt rock ish sound instead of whatever messy was (yes it's a decent song but a lil basic). I can def see myself returning to some of the album cuts. post sex clarity, can we ignore it, fuck everyone, I think I like you lola young! BREAK YA BED AND THEN THE SOFA

Jade, welcome to the main pop girl status
I've been anticipating this body of work ever since angel of my dreams came out in 2024, I'm so glad it's finally here! very much worth the wait. A pure pop enjoyable time all the way through. I can't wait to see what comes from Jade's solo career (as she was my fav member of little mix)

pretentious music snobs of AOTY do you know how miserable you look? I'm sorry that you guys hate fun and seeing a woman be silly and horny!

anyways, I absolutly loved this album, surprisingly much more than short n sweet. this album just feels so much more cohesive and concice with the concept. jack antonoff I never doubted you I will ALWAYS be a truther. my man on willpower is soooo good. tears, she was possessed by donna summer.

now I am an avatar/maxipad/ava max warrior etc. but even I can see the quality drop from the pop bible smash that is diamonds & dancefloors. I know ava had a lot of issues with her label and team so I hope the only way is up from here! I'm rooting for you ms max! that being said, I did have a mostly enjoyable time with this. it's cute. there's def songs I will be revisiting... and some that I wont. maybe it'll grow the more I listen? I WILL be clicking play!

finally, a fully truly great album from conan! all he needed to do was make the music explicitly gay to make me stan. and yes, I am buying into the theory that this project is about kit connor. SUE ME!

waco freakin texas baby. even with the songs being long as hell I surprisingly wasn't bored with them, even the instrumental tracks when they usually aren't appealing to me. I can see myself revisiting this a lot when the fall comes around. can't wait to hear what's next for ethel now that the "ethel cain" arc is done!

I'm so glad I enjoyed this!! kesha has been one of my favourite artists ever since I was a child. this album was such a fun time, I don't care what anyone says yippee is a campy fun song. red flag is going to be a staple in her discography. only song I really see needing some time to grow on me is glow, but I see it's potential.

after all the bullshit, all the unnecessairy hate, I'm so happy to see her thriving. can't wait to see the tour later this month!!

I listened to this for the first time when it initially came out but I needed more time to revisit to give a thorough listen through. my goodness, AOTY contender??? I thought "Still" was an alright project but this blows it right out of the water for me
