Carly Rae Jepsen - Dedicated (May 17, 2019) Album • Page 33

  1. I don't love this album on first listen the way I loved Emotion

    *but*

    I didn't love The Maine's new record on first listen either and it's an AOTY contender for me now so I'm gonna let it sit and then revisit it. (Don't get me wrong: I enjoyed the first listen. It just didn't stick with me. Also Fever might be my favorite CRJ song for reasons I can't quite quantify.)

    i definitely think *on first listen* this one is weaker than emotion but the growth potential here is huge, I love it more and more with each listen and have no idea what the ceiling will end up being.

    Take this album on an evening run into the dark and I dare you not to fall in love with Carly all over again

    Tug of War is fine. There are a handful of tracks worth listening to, but it's easily her weakest album

    I didn't immediately love this like Emotion...definitely a few tracks I would eliminate but I ADORE Automatically in Love, Happy Not Knowing, Too Much, and Party for One.

    wrap yourself in petals for armor.

    This album grows on me every single day, I swear. Got high and listened to it last night while walking around my town, took it next level. And @unbornwhiskey it did give me a new appreciation for Automatically In Love ahaha, cause being able to hear every layer of the mix so crisply made that chorus feel unreal.

    I think Emotion benefited in part because it came out of nowhere for me. I saw her on SNL and thought All That was so great, and then forgot about it until i noticed that the album was out. Listened to it on a whim and it was way different than I expected. It felt like a whole era. Dedicated is great, idk if it matches Emotion. So far i don’t think so. But it’s the difference between a 10/10 album and a 9/10 album.
