I'm almost ashamed to admit that I've just listened to this album for the first time. I have LOVED the singles from this era so thought the album was worth a go. I was so impressed. He's got such a unique voice and he's crafted his own distinct sound brilliantly; it's nice to know that the singles aren't just flukes.

 

I WISH I could find a ticket for his 2021 tour somewhere; I am becoming a proper fan of Mr Styles.

I hope you manage to get a tour ticket Slick, I cannot WAIT to go :heart: seeing the secret show in London last December was electric and that was in a smaller venue, cannot wait to experience the album in an arena atmosphere.

 

The album is still such an exciting listen, too. The singles have been picked perfectly but there's so much to enjoy across the other tracks, it's varied but so cohesive, and I love that he's given some good thought to the tracklist as well - Golden and Fine Line are superb choices for album opener and closer.

I've listened to this album for the first time thanks to more time during lockdown and I'm really impressed! No skips at all and such a cohesive sound without ever dragging :o Bar the singles I'm really liking Canyon Moon, Golden, Treat People With Kindness and Fine Line! What's the first album like in comparison to this?

The first album laid some of the groundwork for this, I think. It's not quite as strong an effort (and there's nothing as epic as Sign of the Times on there) but I think it's worth a listen, if only to hear the progression from album 1 to 2. Other highlights for me are Two Ghosts, Sweet Creature and Ever Since New York :heart:

I think 'varied but cohesive' is a great way to describe it. There's so many huge songs and potential singles. I am impressed. I am going to keep trying to get a gig ticket!!

Here's someone else who's decided to listen to the album for the first time. I have to say I'm impressed. Even the odd song that seemed a bit weak at the beginning gradually built up into something decent. The three final songs are particularly good. Well done Harry :o

Suedehead listening to (and ENJOYING) a Harry Styles album, I never expected that :cheeseblock: We love to see it though! :heart:
I absolutely love this album (and Harry). I wasn't really a fan of his first record, but this one is incredible. Falling in particular really hits me, though it was Adore You that encouraged me to listen to it last year.

He's appealing to all ages I think - the fangirls haven't deserted him, they're still just as on board as they always were, but he's definitely attracted new older fans along the way!
This campaign has been a masterclass in marketing and how to toe the line between a classic album rollout and one that is more suited to the streaming era.
^ Absolutely! If more artists could take Harry's lead instead of pretty much abandoning the era following album release, that would be great.

Predicted to go back in the Top 5 in the USA.

Both albums could reach UK platinum status around the same time if current sales of both albums remain the same.
