    did it really flop, i never heard any songs out in the world on the radio or anything off this album , plus i didn't see the kids raving about it on the social medias or anything, it could not by in my radar, but yeah, nothin'
     
  10. It didn't flop lol. It just didn't capture the zeitgeist like Future Nostalgia at the time, or Charli, Chappell and Sabrina in the pop landscape this year, did. Doesn't help that the album campaign pretty much came to a halt once it came out.

    I hear These Walls a lot on French radio lately. In another timeline this would've been pushed much harder in the Spring/Summer but it is what it is

    I’ve been hearing “These Walls” a lot lately too. Would be cool to see that one grow into “the one” from this album.

    Just getting around to this. "These Walls" and "Whatcha Doing" are the standouts for me. Overall it's fine

    I blame the people who said it was bad when it dropped

    it's not that good though, i am never going to revisit it and i loved her debut and future. this one just was whatever for me.

    where would i be if i was my brain Prestigious

    It’s really difficult to follow up a massive commercial success with another one. Hell, Michael Jackson couldn’t even do it with Thriller and Bad.
