feed me queen
Honestly, do it. I was apprehensive after Western Wind (I love it now ~in the context of the album nn) but it’s a great effort. Also any album that houses Bad Thing Twice is a 12/10

I dare not go back and read some of the apathetic posts towards this album around release because I felt like I was listening to a different record.
Even though EMOTION remains my favorite and a masterpiece she's unlikely to top in terms of artistic evolution and audience expansion, The Loneliest Time is a refined version of the pop she began cultivating with that album. It has a warmth and confidence that feels new for her, while simultaneously using all of the strengths she's shown since the beginning of her career. The slower numbers - Bends, Western Wind, and Go and Find Yourself or Whatever are especially strong. Combine them with classic Carly pop songs like Surrender Your Heart and Talking to Yourself, add in the eccentricity of Joshua Tree, Sideways, and Bop House, then throw in the all out dance of Bad Thing Twice, The Loneliest Time, and Anxious... I mean there isn't a single dud.
Don't be a Shy Boy. Stream The Loneliest Time

Rumor has it "Side B" is 5 songs.

Well, she can't give us a full length masterpiece of a Side B every time
YES SHE CAN, HOW DARE YOU.
Beach House went the fuck off live. One of her best, for sure

The initial takes shocked me because I was shook when it was released. I think I had a bad reaction to the singles but I was sold on the album as a whole.
The fact that she made something as basic as Sun On You into one of the album’s highlights in Bends is just a reason to never judge her for recycling ideas we’ve heard that weren’t finished. She was right not to put it on Kiss in its original form.

I think I actively listened to it once but my Spotify has been going 'Go on f**, have another listen!" by putting every single song in every conceivable mix I might play. It's good!
I swear on each album the song I initially go 'that's a bit meh' ends up being my favourite? Everything he needs, Comeback, Fever, Go find yourself or whatever testify to this.
He/They
Two of her very very very best

The Loneliest Time is her best album/my favorite and I can't wait to talk about it in my rate that's running now where you can see what's been eliminated so far, link in signature xo.

I can only imagine that Carly has a Prince-esque vault of recorded songs at this point in time. The only things even close to misses she’s had of late were a couple of one off tracks or collabs like Let’s Be Friends or Move Me.
I’d be satisfied to have a new Carly release and gig every year for the rest of my life.
