OH... MY.... WOOOOW!
ETA: Now that's a wow at first listen I was waiting for!
My first reaction to Smoke Break: "Hmmmm...." My first reaction to Heartbeat: "Aww, that's nice." *listens repeatedly everyday* My first reaction to Renegade Runaway: *first few seconds* -closes jaw- "Whoa!" *repeats first few seconds again and listens through* "Wow!" "Cooooool!"
By the way, Heartbeat has climbed to #19 on iTunes all-genre.

I'm dead. RR is Sooooo GOOD.
It sounds so fresh and so different, but we can feel Carrie's trademark.
I'm slayed

"Heartbeat" is doing well on iTunes due to the album pre-orders, no?

Not all. I bought it individually. I know of others who even cancelled their album pre-order because the automatic download wasn't working and bought the song individually too. I'm going to buy RR and WINKIAW individually also and just Complete My Album on the 23rd.
Can anyone decipher what Carrie is saying, not singing, at the bridge?

I like the production of "Renegade Runaway" a lot, but so far I'm not feeling the melody, and some of the lyrics seem cliche. I like the bridge.

I love this! Is "Storyteller" really going to be on Vinyl like on that video?

She's speaking through some kind of bullhorn the same words that are being sung; it's basically an echo of what's being sung, I think... I love this! Is "Storyteller" really going to be on Vinyl like on that video? Yep!!!

Obviously some people have bought it individually, but in general I am assuming the pre-order is why the song is staying so high. It's no coincidence the song rose back up as the album has risen.

Thus far I am not really loving any of the songs individually (I don't dislike them either), but I do see where they could all fit together sonically (if not lyrically) to make a strong album. I'm excited about Storyteller as a body of work.

"Renegade Runaway" is absolutely the best song she's released from Storyteller thus far. I wonder if it wasn't released as the first single because it's so similar to her last 2 albums' lead singles, "Cowboy Casanova" and "Good Girl", which are completely interchangeable.
Unfortunately, nothing from this album has wowed me yet like "Something in the Water" and all 4 singles from Blown Away did. I don't know. There's something a bit generic and dated to the tracks, but hopefully there are some gems on Storyteller that we haven't heard yet.

The part of She's an outlaw, a quick draw She'll take it all, so don't you fall for that renegade runaway... is stuck in my head.

I'd expect a possible SNL slot sometime in November, the AMAs, and Ellen to be added to that list... pretty stacked promo, love it!
... and for early 2016 I'd expect PCAs and Grammys (depending on if she's nominated).

Carrie hasn't been on SNL since 2008, right? So, on the one hand it seems like she's overdue, but on the other hand it shows she isn't an automatic performer for them.

I have hope & confidence that the album will be great. Best Country album in 25 years, though? Girl, let's not just stop paying homage to the great music that's been put out by her predecessors. There are albums that were even released this year (namely Ashley Monroe's The Blade, Kacey Musgraves' Pageant Material, and Chris Stapleton's Traveller) that were killer. 2 full songs and a clip of a third does not mean that all thirteen (fourteen including the Target bonus track) songs are going to be just as incredible. I Also let's not pretend that Play On wasn't a complete discombobulation. Lmao Play On was a hot mess, not going to lie Hot mess? Wow. Well I guess just ignore my optimistic posts and dwell on Monroe, Musgraves, and Stapleton great albums and their highly acclaimed songs. To each their own.

DAYUMM, those vocals on RR! Carrie's best rocker BY FAR. I freakin' LOVE the production on RR. The urgency, the grittiness it conveys - perfect for the song. I'm not crazy about the theme/lyrics though, just because it feels like a female version of CC. I'm sort of with jenglisbe regarding all the 3 tracks so far - don't have a huge favourite yet, but I enjoy them all and very excited to hear them altogether to see how they fit into a full album. So far, Heartbeat is my fav among the 3. P.S. Good in Goodbye just came on my Spotify. Am eagerly awaiting to hear WINKIAW next week. I love sentimental Carrie. I'm so excited to buy this then Spotify it on loop with my awesome speakers! I. Have. Been. Slayed. She should perform this at the AMAs! I was searching high and low for the full track but always forget to check Spotify haha... so thanks for this!

Her vocal delivery and those lyrics and THAT PRODUCTION. Adore the song. Her imagery this era is on point. I think this is her most interesting song to date, production-wise; I'm really intrigued by the production on the track. Also, I don't think it's a female CC, I think it's more of an admiration tale, I love this era. <3

Stream, stream, stream! ETA: Oh my, those DRUMS! I highly recommend listening on high-quality headphones. I have so much appreciation for the production. Wow! And yes, definitely her best rocker.

I'm on a smart phone not in the US that may have something to do with both Spotify and the link not working for me. If someone could upload it to yt or something and send me the link I'll be so content.
