After listening to it a few more times, I do like it a lot more. I just wish the production was a little more varied. The Love Club EP is still superior in my opinion.

I'll give it a try. Let me open Spotify

a deserved great score

Yeah I think the release date could hurt her chances to get a nomination for AOTY since she's very new and didn't have enough time to promote her music during the year. I really hope she can get it though.

Mumford & Sons released their album the last day of the elegibility period last year and they got the nomination (and win) but their situation was kinda different since they were in their second era / album and also they had previous grammy nominations.

For sure.

But she's also a lock for New Artist and the Pop cathegories so she may prove irresistible to vote and AOTY is lacking female contenders. Either way, she's gonna slay.

If she's going pop, she'll be competing against Justin and Bruno. I don't see them nominating three Pop Vocal Album nominees in AOTY, not after they nominated four the year Adele won.

This album deserves every bit of praise it's getting. The more I play it the more I'm impressed by it. I'd like to see it garner an AOTY nod.

Cutting out the last 2 or 3 tracks would've put this album in the 90s, very close to 100. The first 7 tracks are flaw free and "Still Sane" is nice.

Maybe the final score will be 78 like The Fame Monster
