no pre-release singles released or announced. “I am not a woman, I’m a god” and “lilith” are speculated to be the singles by a reliable source:

Yup. Drops this Friday. I am pumped for the IMAX movie on Wednesday. Just gotta get through this first half of the work week.

It was such a miss for them to announce it WEEKS ago and then drop no music leading up to it. Like, what was the point of that? It could've easily been announced last week.

Halsey knows they probably won't get hits and are more focused on breastfeeding and raising their baby. It's just a shame to drop what will probably be their best album, when all is said and done, into the void. But, hey, give us a film and a masterpiece, at least!

Or take notes from Kacey Musgraves. Super curious to hear how this will sound. I’ve loved all the albums so far, and she killed it at both shows I saw her at. She’s an artist. No doubt.

It's not like her singles from MANIC made no noise, even if you don't count "Without Me", they all did alright-ish. It's weird. I suspect it's not really a radio friendly album, more of a concept album for the fans.
Excited to hear, although there's no denying that the hype is way lower than when MANIC dropped, maybe by design.

I don't have an issue with there being no pre-release singles - I just think the album/film didn't need to be announced as early as it was, if that's the case. I know the album is gonna be somewhere between solid and great.

I think it kind of makes sense to figure out the demand for the movie since she kept adding more cities and showings. For example, Texas only had 3/4 showings then she added at least double that. This so far hasn't been given a streaming platform although I'm sure it will hopefully on Netflix or HBO.

I think it would have far greater impact if streaming coincided with a limited theatrical release

I think from a financial standpoint this is the best decision. I wouldn’t have gone to a theater to watch this if I knew I’d be able to watch it at home day of release. Now I’m going twice. She’s yet to announce a streaming release date but of course it will happen.

At Halls' movie now. I know they're gonna kill it because they love drama! Pretty decent crowd, too. The people have spoken! I have supported her since Badlands so despite early doubt, I am really excited. Stay tuned.

Sucks that I'm gonna have to miss the movie but I have seen screenshots and she looks PHENOMENAL in everything I've seen. Can't wait for the album tomorrow night! I am so stoked to see how they're gonna sound with this album--I've only heard one snippet and it was INCREDIBLE.

Considered going tonight to see this, but I just couldn't justify a $17 ticket just for me for ~1 hour of content. Wish it was also playing in a regular non-IMAX screen so there was a not so pricey option. Hopefully it hits a streaming service at some point. Stoked to hear this album on Friday! The visuals are on point and the clips sound very promising.

HALLS DELIVERED. 8.5/10, with only demerits for the transitions and not enough music, but they wanted to slay you for a full album experience, probably. Also...Halsey DID THE MAKEUP FOR THE WHOLE MOVIE LIKE WHOAAA. Props. They really are a talent. Also, all the songs had hooks and melodies. They can pretty much work with any producer, it is confirmed. I hope they get the acclaim they deserve for this. I feel like there are hits here too. I am still shook by the IMAX speakers and clarity of picture. Everything came to life.

stoked to hear the positive feedback for the movie. could this project finally break Halsey's curse at the Grammys? they haven't received any nominations for their work yet besides their contributions to The Chainsmokers' "Closer" and Justin Bieber's "The Feeling".

I mean, I’d rate every single one of her past albums above a 7/10, so if this is her best work yet, lord give it to me. Huge Halsey kick right now. Listening to all the old material non-stop.

I was a little worried this might end up being a little bit pretentious, but reading those reviews is making me excited again. Will give her three albums a spin throughout the day in preparation. I'm expecting greatness.

The film was really good. A bit more style over substance. I have a few complaints. I think Ashley went out of character once with their accent. There was also a scene that may have been off if you compare it to the beginning of the film but it could have been a day/night situation which I believe it was. Other than that, I really enjoyed it overall.
The album is amazing and exactly what I wanted after hearing Nightmare. Very NIN produced you hear varying sounds from their actual work and the work they've done on Gone Girl, TSN, and TGWTDT.

The album is getting good to great reviews across the board. Sounds like Halsey is about to have their best reviewed work to date.

Sounds like Halsey is about to have their best reviewed work to date. maybe they love the album, maybe they just don't want them to call for the collapse of One World Trade Center again... jk. I'm so excited for this & in the right mood to listen to it as soon as it comes out.

Broadly enjoy the sound, but indifferent beyond that. I am not a woman, I'm a god is the only thing that grabbed me really - great track.

I could never expect Trent Reznor producing Halseys music and this is so awesome.
After a first listen, I can say it may be one of my fave albums of the year

I’ve been watching Kanye’s wack ass stream w Da Baby and Marilyn Manson (🤮) and replaying Kacey Musgraves (which is really good) and should have been checking for Halsey - which I’ve never really been a fan of - this. is. fantastic.
