This was really worth the wait, what an album! I am at this point where i am obsessed with every possible song (even though getting used to HTD's new production and TNBAM's changed lyrics took a few listens to get used to)... At this point the order of songs would be (and it's gonna change):

 

1. Happiness is a Butterfly

2. California 

3. The Greatest

4. Venice Bitch

5. Cinnamon Girl

6. FIILY

7. Bartender

8. TNBAR

9. Doin' Time

10. HTD

11. Love Song

12. NFR

13. HIADTFWLMTHBIHI

14. MAC (and i LOVE this song)

guys critics are going AMAZING, nfr has two 100/100 already.

what was "hope extended"? what happened to it...

 

I think it’s just Jack(?) saying something in the background!

I turned up the volume to max on my vinyl player and Jack’s voice is on there?? Is this what you were talking about in the leaked snippets?? Something like “you’re real? Are you real? If I wake up one day...”??

I love the fact that every song is my favorite. Happiness Is A Butterfly, NFR and California made me feel so good. I really do prefer this version of How To Disappear than the live version (I really don't understand what people were talking about when the snippets went out). + This version of The Next Best American Record is such a banger.

I panicked and took 4 editions : Blue Vinyl, Casette, CD standard (no poster in the Fnac one finally) & CD Uncensord that I'll recieve tomorrow. I love that every object have a different design.

[Valerie]

Her voice on Bartender during the "I love the little games that we play, from the valley to the beach" & "60 MPH on PCH Drive, here to Long Beach to Newport by your side" lines is exquisite.

[Doll Harlow]

If he is a serial killer
Then what's the worst, that could happen to a girl
Who's already hurt
I'm already hurt

 

[triangles19]

Is the album version of FIILY different than the single version ? I didn't noticed the guitars in the album one (but I listened to it on my big hi-fi so maybe it was layered in the background)

[Hundred Dollar Bill]

ok how is my favorite & the BEST song on the album the one with the LEAST votes?????

How to disappear deserves BETTER

I know right. Just the changed lyrics and her slightly different tone make it feel like almost a different melody. That's quite special

[Downtown Baby Doll]

I loved the original cover when we first saw it, but now that I’ve actually heard the album.......maybe Ben and Ed made some points. It really doesn’t fit at all.

[enchaunted]

if someone wants to buy nfr more than 1, he/she can ship it to me i'm broke 

[necessary sacrifice]

I’m listening to the vinyl and “Fuck It I Love You” is the version from the leak, NOT the single/digital version. Idk if it has the extended version of “Hope Is a Dangerous Thing for a Woman Like Me to Have- But I Have It” with the talking at the end yet because I’m only on my first listen of the vinyl. I just thought I’d give that update right away before I forgot. It’s the (canadian) standard vinyl if that means anything.

Why don't you start handing some warning points to... encourage people to open their ears for how good HTD is?

Also I literally haven’t slept yet and it’s 3pm looool all this news and hype between NFR & WHF has made me so manic that I’m just unable to sleep I’m still fully awake.

 

I could quote on forever lmao I love that we all feel a type of way. Manic and out of it and dying but loving it    She da best.

[Ultra Violet]

Wow I'm really happy California currently has the most votes, that one came through so hard I was shook and it's my favourite. She really fucking nailed that chorus. Even if I'm not a big fan of "stronger than you really are, faster than my fastest cars" lyrics, the remainder of the song is so good that it erases all that. And I love how she switches up how she sings "you don't ever have to" in the second verse.

[99tears]

Okay so does anyone have any high quality scans or a pdf of the pictures from the album photoshoot?

[domandapiano]

Love song made me cry today. When she sings “I like to think that you might stick around. You know that I just live to make you proud” something about that just gives me chills every time.

[naachoboy]

I still love "Love Song" so much omg
