This is a great body of work from first listen! ''Nobody Gets Me'' is my instant fave
 Also really loving 'Low', 'Special' and the Phoebe Bridgers collab.

Nobody Gets Me is brilliant!
On my first listen through of the album and Gone Girl has completely stopped me in my tracks. She is so good in her more vulnerable moments

I’ve been holding off commenting yet as CRTL is one of my favourite albums of all time, so I wanted to let it settle in a bit before making a judgement, but bar maybe like 4/5 filler tracks, she has absolutely done it again. She really is one of a kind.
This debuts on Spotify with 68 million streams and becomes the 5th biggest female opening of all time, after 3 Taylor Swift albums and Thank U Next with 70 million. Seeing as Beyoncé only managed 43 million earlier this year, that is HUGE. She really is the Female R&B superstar isn’t she? I can’t remember the last time we had a R&B girl having the star quality and hype of the major pop stars, but SZA has done it. It’s utterly amazing. |

Nobody Gets Me is truly stunning, I hope that's a massive hit for her come Jan!

Nobody Gets Me is incredible, I get the feeling that’s going to be HUGE! Great album, she had so much to live up from CTRL.

She has so much talent it's crazy. SOS was definitely worth the wait. I love how every track shows off different sides of her personality. Her pen game is so unique. She's truly one of a kind.

I wouldn't call it unexpected at all, this has been a very highly anticipated album from arguably the biggest name in R&B and it's not like the singles didn't do well. (not to downplay her success obvz) |

After sitting with this for a few days, here is my rate of the album:
07.0 - SOS (nice intro, but I think ‘Blind’ would have a better album opener) 08.5 - Kill Bill 08.0 - Seek & Destroy 08.5 - Low (keep going back to Trap-SZA - love as something different) 09.0 - Love Language 08.5 - Blind 07.5 - Used 09.0 - Snooze (LOVE how smooth this is - real replay value) 07.0 - Notice Me (this is the first meh track for me - could have got cut) 10.0 - Gone Girl (already feels classic!) 08.5 - Smoking On My Ex Pack 10.0 - Ghost In The Machine (gives me mixtape SZA vibes - my favourite off the whole record!) 04.0 - F2F (sorry, CTRL Alt Delete) 10.0 - Nobody Gets Me (let’s make this a #1 smash please people) 06.0 - Conceited 05.0 - Special (the only time in the whole album I question her pen, hate the lyrics) 05.0 - Too Late 09.0 - Far (back on form - not enough people talking about this track!) 08.5 - Shirt 10.0 - Open Arms (absolutely beautiful) 08.0 - I Hate U 10.0 - Good Days 10.0 - Forgiveless (shame this is tagged on the end and not earlier on album) Overall the average score comes out as 8.2/10.0 which I think is about right tbh. Could have done with a bit of an edifying eye on the tracks in the middle for sure but honestly the highs are so high and the fact that we have 16 tracks I’m rating an 8/10 or higher out of 23 track album shows the quality is pretty outstanding. She is so special. |

This is at #2 in the midweeks, annoying that she didn't release physicals this week. Looking at the sales gap and the fact that Sam Ryder's streams are basically non existent, she would've probably made #1 this week had she released her physicals

Great album! My top 3 are Kill Bill, Conceited & F2F with Nobody Gets Me also high up there too! Hope it can make #1 on albums, even if not this week! ANd hopefully Kill Bill can become a stable hit in Jan similar to good days!

I'm assuming Sam will be fairly frontloaded and his streams have amounted to less than 1k over the first 2 days. Not a Sam hater by any means but this album is a masterpiece and she deserves it so much, she is an absolute pioneer of R&B and the best R&B artist out there right now. 94 overall score on Metacritic so far btw

I would much rather Sam get #1 this week and SZA next week it would be a win-win.
