Lovely review!!

Fun fact: Chad Smith of Red Hot Chili Peppers plays drums on KIllah.

Has anyone heard the physical exclusive songs?

What are they like?

They’re pretty strong! There’s YouTube audio clips of them somewhere for those who don’t have the CD.

Can’t Stop The High is more in vein of Perfect Celebrity dark, more rock infused vocals. Kill For Love is more pop based and 80s. They’re slotted within the tracklist and I think both would’ve worked as part of the main album.

How bad do you want me? Is starting to blow up on socials. with the comparisons to Taylor.

in the US it's climbed to 9 on itunes and it's the only track that's holding up on UK itunes at 21.

I'm not surprised, I think it really sounds like a hit

^^Agreed

Also agreed! I'd be here for it getting single treatment.

I'm a few days in now and I must admit I've listened to this A LOT. I don't feel the need to skip anything at all, I'm going to say this ranks as her second best album for me with only Born This Way ahead of it

The Fame / Monster would also probably be ahead if it just consisted of the Monster tracks and the three main singles from the Fame, but it doesn't so it can stay behind!

The run of 'How Bad Do U Want Me?', 'Don't Call Tonight' & 'Shadow Of A Man' is seriously FLAWLESS.

'Don't Call Tonight' is VERY underrated already I fear!

This 100% im still struggling with most the album bar these 3 and the first 2, the performance of abracadabra is flawless. Shadow of a man i think is my favourite but even then I'm forcing myself on this album atm

The Amazon vinyl variant is STUNNING! Mine was delayed for some reason but arrived today and I think it could be my favourite. I hadn’t realised the inner sleeves / poster matched the cover.

I really love the white / black / orange combination and the etching looks great on the solid block white vinyl colour.

TBH, I thought the album is going to be a little... wilder (a bit more 'Born This Way'), but many are simple, accessible songs.

'How Bad Do U Want Me' is really creeping up on me!

This might sound stupid but what is the difference between "filtered" and "unfiltered" streams? I always see people say "unfiltered streams" etc.. but I never thought to question it until now lol.

In music streaming, "filtered streams" represent legitimate listens used for official charts, while "unfiltered streams" encompass all plays, including potentially artificial ones, reflected on the song's page or artist's counter. 

^ so I guess that means they have a way of separating actual plays from those done by creating mass playlists etc? I guess filtered is the best barometer?

Also this video is so great to listen to. She speaks so eloquently about the artistic vision of the album - it's so well thought out!
