The songs released so far just aren’t clicking with me, I mean they’re good but not great.
Hopefully there’s better left on the album. |

QUOTE(slowdown73 @ Oct 30 2020, 11:34 PM)  There doesn’t appear to be a deluxe edition, just a 13 track standard but her last few albums have all been reissued after a year! Oh yeah! That’s a good point there. To be safe I think I’ll wait until release week to get a copy. Just The Weeknd literally done a deluxe a matter of days after I bought his album and I thought you are joking me  !Two weeks now until this is out I’m excited for a whole new album from her. |

It’s a shame there’s nae much hype for this record, but she’s been such a force with her albums for so long. All the sobns from ‘Infinite Things’ have been strong but it’s not looking like her most cohesive album, which doesn’t bother me that much but I need an album of Better Than This esque depressing numbers.
Btw I’ve just realised Final Breath from the Zeitgeist edition of The Architect is an absolute banger. Add it to this album and she’ll beat AC/DC. |

I have a feeling Paloma will struggle with this album. The impact of lockdown and not having a T40 hit from the album so far will impact on sales. I like all the songs though.

Paloma is definitely someone who would’ve picked up a lot of her sales through casual buyers getting their copies in store. As streaming goes she’s someone who struggles. I hope she can do well through online sales and downloads and pre orders but I just don’t know. I don’t know what promo she’ll be doing either as she’s high risk and pregnant. Hopefully she’ll be able to do things from her home. But yeah I’m thinking this might not have the longevity she’s normally used to although I do think she should get another top 5 album.

Speaking of promo, Paloma is actually performing on tonight’s Pride Of Britain awards!

So two days later and Gold had just clicked with me, really enjoying it.
Last Night on Earth is great too. |

Better Than This, Falling Down & Gold are all TOP-NOTCH quality tunes and, dare I say, some of her best songs ever.
 By the way, did we know that Gold was co-written by Sigrid? |

By the way, did we know that Gold was co-written by Sigrid? This to be honest - And they’re three very different songs. Gold is a a feel good banger that I’m sure many people need to hear right now! Falling Down is great and Better Than This is truly special IMO. Excited for the album as she always delivers. I’ve pre-ordered my copy! |

It feels like there's no hype surrounding this album at all.

It is worryingly low key up to now.

I also feel the same with this album as much as I’m looking forward to it I’ve hardly even seen posts of it on here never kind other places!
I mean it’s possible that there is hype and it’s just across different places she does sell albums very well. I’ve pre ordered a copy now to help out her first week. |

She’s not on Graham Norton (for this month at least) but she is on Jonathan Ross on the 14th.
I agree that this era has been unusually low key for Paloma. I’ve not been a fan of anything released so far and there doesn’t appear to be any direction, which is a shame after such a focused release with The Architect. I imagine the album will pass Silver with no trouble and maybe make it to Gold, but no way can I see this getting anywhere near Platinum like her other albums did quite easily. |

Yeah, I'm in a similar boat to you. I actually like all the songs, but there's not much cohesion or meaning to them unlike the last album, maybe when we hear the full thing it'll make sense. I'm honestly getting cobbled together teas. People are underestimating how she'll do though, I've seen loads of <15k predictions. It's Q4 and she is an album seller, it's been very consistent on Amazon (currently at #24). With pure sales so low Gold would be a success tbh |

really impressed with this album!! She's got me fully back on board after The Architect lowkey underwhelmed me
The first 5 tracks are the highlights here. The chorus of Monster is SO good & addictive, I love it. Gold & Falling Down we're the best pre-release tracks & Supernatural is a great opener  a couple of the later tracks blend into one but there's no major duds
