FloopFiller Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 7 minutes ago, 4AssedMonkey said: Zeitgeist gone maybe? Album seems to be getting raves, and she hasn’t released a single so there has been nothing for people to grasp on to yet which I’m sure will change come tomorrow, but does kind of feel like Olivia has taken her spotlight a bit and the hype that was leading up to her last album isn’t there this time. Would also explain why people aren’t rushing to buy tickets to her tour (y’know, aside from the insane prices). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanh Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 Absolutely fantastic album, really enjoyed it. Can see where the very positive reviews are coming from, has also softened the blow of forking out so much for tour tickets next year, loads of these tunes are gonna sound great live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloopFiller Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 Never been the biggest fan of Billie but the new album is really good. Maybe not £175 to see it live good, but feels like her best one yet and doesn’t outstay its welcome like the last one. Quite downbeat so be interesting to see if this boosts her ticket sales much - doesn’t exactly scream something to pay a bunch of money to see live, but then maybe that’s what the kids are in to these days.

A few years ago the cunnilinguistic first single 'Lunch' would've set the internet ablaze. We'll see how well it takes off soon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glimmers_of_hope Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 really enjoying the new album. Feeling a like I probably should have got tickets for the tour next year but difficult to justify the ticket prices for what would probably be the whole family.

FrogLobster Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 (edited) Album is really great; flows much better than Happier Than Ever (which I always felt had odd sequencing) and song writing has grown a lot since When We Fall Asleep. Instrumentation is improved alot; Finneas experimenting more with fusing in and out of different textures. No upfront singles is an interesting approach and will see how it pans out; I can't identify anything really single-friendly from first listen except maybe LUNCH but thats bound to anger the "protect the children!" boomers if played on Radio 1. 😄.

Seriously considering it. I assumed it would all sell out immediately but looks like loads of tickets available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 Streaming numbers way up on Happier Than Ever. Maybe cos there were fewer middling singles out in the run up to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tipping point... just had a look to see if it had sold out, funnily enough, it hasn’t! Side seats at the o2 - £180! My wife bought tickets for Justin Timberlake at £150 each, going both London nights, it’s awful, it’s got to implode at some point. A ticket for BE and JT is the same as a ticket to the best festival in the world 🤯🤯 which has entertainment 18 hours a day !!! Regardless of what people say about the cost of glasto, It really is good value - just a shame I didn’t get one this year!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderstruck Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 I've given the album a few runs through. Some great tracks on there but it's left me a bit 'meh' to be honest. Overall it's a bit ploddy and almost cringe in places on tracks like 'Lunch'. Sometimes takes time for music to click...maybe this is one of those albums!
