MelbHawker 6,583 Posted May 10, 2024 Share Posted May 10, 2024 Congratulations to her - the albums grown on me, but I still think it’s a step down from FN. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopMusicForever 746 Posted May 10, 2024 Share Posted May 10, 2024 The album is better than FN. Production is INSANELY good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MingersPrayer 585 Posted May 10, 2024 Share Posted May 10, 2024 The album has really grown on me. It’s less pop hooks than FN and that’s not a bad thing. It’s more sophisticated, production is superb. still think FN is stronger but that’s like comparing Chromatica to BTW. It was never going to do the same numbers.

I feel the other way around. As an album Radical Optimism sounds better with all of the songs in there. I wasn't a big fan of the singles when they came out but they've grown on me so much after listening to it from start to finish. This is the one thing I feel Future Nostalgia doesn't have. People praise it so much because it has songs like Physical, Levitating, Hallucinate which are 10/10 but the lows are very low (Good In Bed, Boys Will Be Boys). Then there are others that get kinda meh with time (Future Nostalgia, Cool, Pretty Please). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
