They probably found some stock in a box somewhere and were like, "Yeah, you know what, these ARE actually pretty rare at this point, might as well make some Xtra cash lol."

It's not really my job to look up someone else's content, but literally four posts above yours:

I mean, I've always known she's a cheap bitch, that's kinda why I'm stanning her, but still...

DOING GOD'S WORK! Ugh I miss this binch! Honestly, I just want this album to be released so we can all finally move on... things can only get better at this point.

I mean, I can only speak for myself, but I'd love to praise Marina for once, however that would require the good sis to release a good album, which hasn't happened since 2015. And it's not like @ trashed L+F just for the sake of it, they always presented arguments and reasons to back up their opinions. Also, remember that this is a music forum, these rather negative opinions are just as valid as those of someone who (inexplicably, to me) enjoys this album.

Why are the CDs described as "single sleeve"? Does that mean they're literally just cardboard sleeves with no booklet or anything? I would definitely get the CLX II one (the only one I'm still missing) if I knew for sure it's a digipack like the (original) CLX I and Super Sunset CDs...

You are, @MoreCruelThanYou, you really are.

Definitely agree with you on the bottom three. That bunch of songs = Satan.

Not my favourite album (at all), but I am incredibly grateful we got 13 Beaches (!), Cherry, World At War, and Heroin, as well as the underrated classics In My Feelings, BPBP and White Mustang (fight me lol). Also, most of the visuals (album trailer, music videos, magazine shoots etc.) were amazing, NFR can't relate. #justiceforBAR #justiceforYosemite

Can we talk about the how amazing her summer shows are? I'm also really happy we're getting some professionally recorded videos.

We were all so excited for that one... and then it came out. I still think The Altar is by far her best album and as close to perfection as it gets, but III is definitely on the same high level as Goddess. She's fantastic.

Ohh please post a picture once you get it, I really want to see how it looks! And as far as I know, "milky clear" is just what they're calling the white one lol. The only colour options available are red, white ("milky"), and regular black.

Oh look what I just got!

Okay but where's 2099?

Agreed. Although – we're getting 2099 in less than two months at the latest (personally I'm pretty sure it'll be a single and be released before the album comes out, probably August), and conveniently the Australian Bloom Tour dates are all scheduled for mid- to late September too. After that, I could definitely imagine a feature or soundtrack single. And I do hope that his third album will be released in 2020. After the at least decent success he's had with Bloom, 1999, Revelation, I'm So Tired etc., it would be stupid to wait too long with his follow-up project.

I can't believe Allie is making people buy tickets for Marina's shows. A support act in the truest sense of the word! Her power!

I'm really happy to have my three favourite Madonna albums on vinyl now! Now the ones I'd still like to get are American Life and Madame X, but the former hasn't been reissued yet and the original pressing is said to be mixed horribly, plus it would be the only one on black vinyl, so I'll wait until there's a better version available. And Madame X... I would get it in a heartbeat if they'd used the deluxe cover, but I really don't like the standard one, so yeah. Edit: Why does the picture look like it was taken on a potato all of a sudden?

Mess.

The fact that I was right about this and I'm So Tired became the biggest hit of his career even though literally every song from his albums is better than that... Lol I don't see Bloom having Fools or Cool or Ease or Wild or Swimming Pools on it. I think he is, didn't he tease something along the lines of "get ready for TS3" (or at least post something that kiiinda suggested it) on an Instagram story or something a few weeks ago? I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure he at least started writing. I don't think he started recording already, though.

Am I the only one who's not really feeling the last two tracks? It's weird, I'm usually an absolute sucker for her ballads, but IDK about those two. The production on If We Were Made Of Water is gorgeous, but her voice is a bit too whispery for me on this one. And What About Love is beautiful, but it doesn't really touch me like her ballads usually do, and it also reminds me of Pink's What About Us in a really weird way. Like, literally, every time she sings "What about love?", I'm expecting "What about trust? What about us?" to follow. She even sings it i the same tone as Pink... Also, I kinda miss Sohn's production on this album, he only did some additional production on Till Now and Godless. And I kinda hate myself for feeling this way, because I actually really appreciate the fact that she got out of her "comfort zone" and started working with producers outside of her previous "main producers" Sohn and Tim Anderson, and I generally do love the sound of III. I guess I've really got used to that "typical" Banks sound that she created with those two in particular, and now I need some more time to adjust to this new sound lol.
