Oh dear at this album, what a disappointment. Katy used to be to go to popstar for those big belt-out choruses and unashamed pop but I can't remember a single chorus after first listen. Nearly all the tracks sound the same in that they've all had the iamspamspamamisink thrown into them production-wise. Teenage Dream is one of my favourite albums of all-time and I'm not even sure I'm going to add this one to my library :(

 

Roulette stood out as an obvious single, nothing else did. I love Chained To The Rhythm and Bon Appetit is decent. Swish Swish is ok, and it says something when Swish Swish is comfortably in the top 4 best tracks of the album.

Gross album. Can't see it even selling 20K now!

Really? :unsure:

 

I'm almost finished my first listen, I think it needs a couple of repeat listens so the songs stick out in my mind but it's EASILY her most cohesive album to date! Bon Appétit sounds out of place :lol: not as good as the last two albums yet but I think a lot of growing will happen with further plays.

It's better than her first album for sure. But Teenage Dream and half of Prism are just wall to wall with potential huge hits, so it's hard to live up to that. It's a change in direction for sure, it kinda reminds me Anti, which felt very samey for me at first and nothing stuck out, but it grew on me.

 

The Jack Garratt track (Power) is actually my favourite of the album tracks so far.

 

The only 10/10 songs at this point are the three singles but these are the keepers;

 

Roulette

Tsunami

Pendulum

Power

 

 

Hey Hey Hey is not good.

Listened to the album twice now, I really like it. As an album, I'd say it's a very cohesive piece of work.

 

However, the best songs in terms of what could be a hit... have already been released. So I do worry for the longevity of this era.

I think the best chance of a hit is if they push Swish Swish properly with a video etc.
'Swish Swish' is having decent longevity considering it's only a promo single atm! So with proper expoaure it'll be a hit, surely? Although, isn't 'Bon Appétit' also doing decently after a poo start?

I'll be listening in the morning but I'm curious as to what the overall sound is like. Any more 'woke' songs? Is it generally slightly weird like 'Bon Appetit' and 'Swish Swish' are? Is even the Max Martin song ('Witness') not a full out pop banger?

Hey Hey Hey is one of her worst songs ever.

Musically or lyrically? Or both? It seems like Sia is losing her touch this past year.

Witness the title track isn't bad on first listen. Does sound a bit like it isn't sure what sound it's going for though. It starts one way and then shifts into another, but it doesn't seem like a deliberate switch.

I was going to get tickets for the tour tomorrow. I've listened to the album all the way through and it's that BAD I've changed by mind.

 

Swish Swish is HUGE tune but the rest of the album is utter TRASH.

 

I've never been so disappointed in anything, it's terrible.

I told you all it would be after Bon Appetit and Swish bloody Swish and with CTTR as the bloody title track!!

 

Shoulda gone back and redid it like Anti.

When Roulette goes into Swish Swish is doesn't fit AT ALL...it sounds like a completely different album.

 

I'm honestly so devastated I was so looking forward to seeing her live for the first time but there's no way I can stand the rest of the album just for Swishh.

I'm really surprised anyone can be QUITE so hateful for this album! That said, give it time, I think it's gonna be a grower for most of us.
I'm disappointed after my first listen :( I'll keep listening but I loved Prism so much more
