imagine there’s a radical optimism fan looking through these forums years after the initial release and seeing all the critisism 😭

Radical Optimism was alright. Some people in these forums were harsh on it though, which is why I got my own opinion on it by listening to it. Critics are going to go ham on this album though as I can say it's a downgrade from Future Nostalgia but the woman can only do so much. The singles were the highlights in my opinion. The album tracks don't sound like single mainstream material so the promotional route for the album is probably going to be different compared to her other albums with 6+ singles and promotional singles. I can tell a deluxe or reissue is coming so I'm saving my money to buy it later. Hopefully those extra tracks can help the album pop more (and not just it being a compilation of her being a featured artist)

maria's guitar rift sounds similar to kesha's die young guitar rift. the guitar only has so many chords, notes, and strings though

the album will find its little niche community/fans later on like solar power by lorde and smile by katy perry

i think it was made for the video specifically then she just repurposed it later on

it’s still lower years later 😭😭

defo emotion side b+ i love the color scheme of that album!!
