So, we've had the album for almost a month and there are some things we all agree on (it's incredible x), but what UNPOPULAR OPINIONS do you have? Where do you go against the general grain in terms of the album or its singles?
GOOOOO

'1000 Doves' is SUBLIME and lyrically it's one of the best on the album. It deserves more love.

Plastic Doll is a bop with possibly the best chorus on the entire album and it needs to be appreciated more x

The past two times I’ve listened to it, it’s felt a very empty experience.

1. Chromatica I into Alice actually gets me more excited than Chromatica II into 911.
What’s kinda contradictory here though is as stand alone songs I prefer 911 to Alice!
2. My genuine least favourite track on this album is Stupid Love.
3. Like Haus, 1000 Doves is lyrically amongst the best of the entire album and it’s top half of the album for me too. If you give the piano demo of it a listen it really makes you listen to it even more closely but I love it!
4. Enigma & Replay both need to be singles and would do better if pushed than certain fan faves on here (like Sine From Above for instance...)

'Alice' is one of the least enjoyable songs on the album.
Posted by: SKOB 23rd June 2020, 12:43 PM
Fun Tonight and Enigma are among the top 3 songs!
(Dunno that's unpopular though, my thoughts on the album are very mainstream 
)

Stupid Love is one the best songs on the album and was a really good choice as lead single.
Sour Candy shouldn’t be a single, it’s not going to get any bigger than it was on release week and it’ll only be good for the visuals which we could get without it being an official single anyway.

Stupid Love is one of the worst songs on the album
Posted by: SKOB 23rd June 2020, 01:56 PM
Sooo which one is unpopular opinion
Posted by: Cremey 23rd June 2020, 02:00 PM
Agreed, it's one of the ones I've least gone back to

Stupid Love is THE song of 2020.

f*** rain on me's drag right?

ARTPOP is better
Posted by: UltraBeKind 23rd June 2020, 04:22 PM
Sine from above is the worst song on the album.
A star is born>>>>
Fun tonight is sublime and should be the next single

(although I wouldn't go as far to say it's the best chorus but everything else... 
)---
I also agree with Ultra that 'Fun Tonight' is sublime. It's my favourite on the album. It's stunningly heartbreaking!
My unpopular opinion seems to be that:
Enigma and Replay are the two worst tracks on the album. Not necessarily "bad" but I really don't get or understand why they're such fan favourites. MEHHHHHHHHHH!!!
I kinda agree with the Alice suggestions too... The more I listen to the album, the more it's wearing thin on me
Posted by: Liam.k. 23rd June 2020, 04:33 PM
The only thing I can think of is that I don't really think that much of 'Free Woman'. It's fine but potentially my least favourite on the album.
Posted by: Andrew. 23rd June 2020, 04:37 PM
Completely agree
It's not my absolute favourite (my name isn't Alice) but it's grown into one of them, I think you really appreciate the subtlety and nuance to it after repeated listens. A gem <3

'911' really isn't THAT great and sounds like a Charli XCX leftover.
Posted by: Andrew. 23rd June 2020, 05:28 PM
That's why it's an album highlight

I know though! It's such a strange album for me, I'm listening to it quite a lot and sometimes I find it fun but other times it just seems empty. My reaction to the individual tracks also changes loads on different listens through, apart from Sine From Above and Babylon which I always love.
Posted by: SKOB 23rd June 2020, 06:41 PM
THAT'S GOSSIP! gets me every time, best line on the album!

Oh, 911 is pretty uneventful indeed. I wouldn't say it's such a wildly unpopular opinion
