Gracie Abrams - The Secret of Us (June 21st, 2024) Album • Page 3

Thought this was great on first listen!

 

Yeah pretty great album. Think I'll like it even more with more listens

 

This blew away her last album for me on first listen

 

Easily

 

See, we could have avoided this if we published our mid-year lists on June 1 like some publications!

 

I see a lot of people saying this is very Olivia Rodrigo but I want to be fair and also say that Olivia Rodrigo always says she's massively influenced by Gracie Abrams so I think it all goes both ways.

 

I like this album a lot, but I do feel like the singles were a bit of a head fake and hinted at a poppier album, whereas there are still a lot of ballady Dessner tracks here. I think maybe I’m just tired of Dessner’s whole thing.

 

I really enjoyed this on first listen, but it was definitely more same-y balladry from track to track then I had originally hoped from the pre-release singles. Good illustration of the difference between Dessner and Antonoff.

I really like the “Let It Happen” -> “Gave You I Gave You I” run in the center of the album.

 

yeah this guy continues to fucking suck

 

It’s easier to just pretend he doesn’t exist, since he contributes absolutely nothing. That thumbnail is the first time I’ve seen his face in years.

 

I've seen him too much lately because he gave brat a 10, which a shocking amount of the internet thinks means something crazy

 

Hot take: "Nepo baby" discourse is dumb as fuck, especially in the music industry, and everyone who engages in it should be ashamed.

 

Deluxe

 

This album has been one of my favourites this year. Intrigued to hear the 4 new songs.

 

Some real good new stuff here."That's So True" is an earworm.

 

Late pass; this album is great.

 

I’d throw three of those four on the main album! Great bonus tracks.

 

I'd swap in all four and I think you've got a significantly stronger record. Here's my alternate tracklist:

 

Nahh you cut Charlie which might be my fav haha
