PopTarts Unite!

You flatter me, Nathan

And we can have a JQBX date where you can show me all of the brilliant hidden layers of Pang ^_^

Don't be surprised if you don't end up being blown away by it in the end. I loved the singles (especially Door and So Hot...) and thought I would love this album, but I wound up feeling disappointed. I guess I was expecting a bit more diversity overall and in the production especially.
It's a good album, but I don't think I would even put it in my top pop albums of the year.

It's real and it's spectacular (actually, no idea how it sounds as my turntable is broken but it sure is pretty)

The pink disc is solid while the turquoise translucent. Love the gatefold image!

Very excited to spin my copy of Lover tonight. Crossing my fingers that it doesn't sound like ass.

Not sure if this has been brought up in here, but I think this is one of the year’s best pop songs:

Apart from popping at the end of the last track of side B and some light surface noise, I thought it sounded pretty good.

Love this song, but the rhythm in portions of the song always makes me think of "I Want You" by Savage Garden...not really a bad thing, but I can't unhear it.

That’s funny, I can hear that for sure. I had first thought Stevie Nicks’s “Edge of Seventeen”/Destiny’s Child’s “Bootylicious”... and also Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger”

Lol...all valid, and yet the song is great

Also, does HAIM just have Paul Thomas Anderson on standby to do all their videos now? I'm all for it, but it's such a strange pairing.

Yeah, I kinda see them as part of that same smaller Los Angeles music community that PT Anderson has always played a role in

I really like this alternate cover someone made for Lover; thinking of using it for my digital download files instead of the actual one tbh

@siremobunny - did I see that you finally hopped aboard the Sigrid hype train?

@gaporter and anyone that posts in this thread has impeccable taste. I want to join in on that Pang guided listening. @NathanRicaud has a way of explaining music that I just want to be a party to.

My Taylor will be here today!

HAIM is awesome, I love the new song. And yes, they seem to use Paul for all their videos. The Right Now one is my favorite of them all.

I've been low-key on the Sigrid hype train since whenever her album came out last summer, but I revisited the album recently and my hype levels increased and I procured a vinyl copy.

Got my copy of Lover on vinyl today. So I guess Target is the only way to get it at the moment? Glad I pre-ordered when I did. Packaging is great. And although I've heard many negative reports from Target shipping vinyl, I had no issues. It came perfectly.

It probably depends on who you have packaging your album and how much they actually care. My two Target exclusives (Black Panther and Stranger Things Season 3) both came in excellent shape.

I've ordered alot from Target over the years and lately their packaging has vastly improved. Big upgrade from the flimsy and ironically named "frustration free packaging"

I think it depends on whether you have an album ship from a store or not. Preorders most likely come from a warehouse and are packaged much better, my two shipments from Target stores were not packed well at all.

This popped up on Twitter, I don't keep up with Meghan Trainor so idk if this is old news or not but thought it was worth sharing here

She's really talented. I haven't kept up with her either though. I should try to remedy that. Maybe. I don't know, there is just so much music out there. Sheesh.
