Good album! "Relapse" is super great.

I guess if you pre-ordered or buy the album through Carrie's official website, you get exclusive pre-sale ticket access for the tour.
... saw something about this on Twitter.

Is this only for pre-orders ? I don't see it anyone on her website. I'm going to buy a physical CD from Target tomorrow instead of Target. I don't want to break tradition of having my first listen of my favourite artists' new records in my car. : ETA: Metacritic update: 77/100 with 5 reviews in

Yes. Preorder a copy and you get access to presale tickets. Same applies for FC members. I'm thinking the tour dates and opening act will be announced tomorrow/this week.

Obsessed with "Church Bells"
Love the album - I need to listen to it a few more times to get a real impression of it. It's too hard to just not keep replaying "Church Bells," though...

There's only one word to describe this album, Epic.

Did we ever hear Carrie's interview for BBC Radio 2? She was photographed leaving the building, so I'm curious if we ever heard it or if you all think they are playing it this week for promotion?

OBSESSED with CCA, Relapse, Chaser, Clock Don't Stop, and Mexico! I like every song on the album (honestly, don't see the fuss in Dirty Laundry but that's just me I guess haha). Outstanding effort and her strongest album!
Makes me sad that this will most likely get blocked at #1 though :(

So much love everywhere for Relapse. It's not one of my top favs, but I do hope they take into account fan reactions when choosing singles this time! OpMakes me sad that this will most likely get blocked at #1 though :( Maybe it's a good thing. Some Hearts didn't debut at no.1 either ;)

Carrie just finished up an interview on z100 (the biggest pop station in the country) and they're now playing "Heartbeat"! Possible next single with a crossover push? They said "Carrie Underwood and Sam Hunt" before an after the song played.

Just listened to the full album. I think it's gonna take a while to grow on me because it's really different from her past work for the most part. But I really love "Dirty Laundry", "Choctaw County Affair", and "Mexico". Almost started to tear up on "The Girl You Think I Am". Every other song was good too though, and there really aren't any songs that I would say are "bad".
As for singles, I would go:
2. Dirty Laundry (I would love to see her kill this on the American Music Awards next month!) 3. Renegade Runaway 4. Heartbeat 5. Choctaw County Affair
If we somehow miraculously get a 6th single (5th might even be a stretch -_-) , I'd like "Mexico" or "Church Bells".
I see "Heartbeat" being single #2 though, which isn't a bad choice.
Oh, and she killed live at the iHeartRadio Theater last night. They had to redo "Smoke Break" because her microphone wasn't working at first and then it messed her up and she seemed to have forgotten/messed up a lyric. But vocally she was on point and sang every song like she's been singing them on her set list for years! You'd never be able to tell it was her first time performing them live.
A funny part was when Bobby Bones was interviewing her and mentioned something about how she wins all of the CMA Awards and she was like "Wellll...." lmao.

She sounds get on "Today"...
And I'm very pleased to see CCA getting some early attention. Perhaps testing the waters? If it becomes a single it would easily be a career-defining song --- I hope they take the risk at radio! The fans will fully support it, that's for sure.

I think they will release Heartbeat as single (hopefully not 2nd) and this time will featuring Sam Hunt. Not just as background singer. He will get second verse.

Z100 interview, thanks to maddkat. Considering it's a pop station with interviewers Carrie rarely talks to, they're great with her and she's comfortable with them. Makes for a fun interview.

Yes, I caught the end of the interview and then they played "Heartbeat" and said "Carrie Underwood and Sam Hunt" before and after they played it. It would be cool to see "Heartbeat" released as a single with a crossover push, but I won't get my hopes up since z100 also played "Good Girl" when Blown Away came out right after she did an interview with them on release day and there was no crossover push. :(

This album is really strong. I like how she took some risks. My least favorite is probably Clock Don't Stop. I'd imagine Heartbeat, Dirty Laundry and either Church Bells or Choctaw will be released as singles. Chaser is a pop song but it's fantastic.

That "Choctaw County Affair" performance is an all-time best for her. Wow. She must perform that at the Grammys.
