He has really lost a ton of relevancy. He was arguably as big as Drake from 2017-19 but these last couple albums have not connected very well. His 2022 album TCT still had a big hit (I Like You) but Chemical off last years album Austin really wasn't close to that. His country collab song didn't do well either so it's not looking good for his country album unless he really turns things around. I know he wants to make the music he wants to make but a ton of his old fans really want another album with 3 huge bangers for radio like he used to do

It seems he is shaping up to have a giant year potentially being featured on some of the biggest albums and working with huge artists.
Beyonce song drops tomorrow 3/29 Taylor Swift song drops 4/19 Morgan Wallen song drops May???
All 3 are #1 potentials maybe ??

The Beyoncé collab is good IMO, I can definitely see it getting some love. Not sure about a #1. The Morgan track sounds like a winner. And he has the opening track on Taylor's new album, so it's gonna come out of the gate swinging. We're in the middle of a fullblown Malone-aissance

He came back swinging this era. This album will do at least double what Twelve Carrot Toothache and Austin did first week. I'm guessing 300-350k range. He'll never be as big as he was in the late 2010's again probably

I hope he does a song with Keith Urban. Also, I wonder if he will have any female country collaborations or non-country related artists on country production.

This guy got every relevant country singer on his album. Good for him. Can't wait for the album!

That track list has me very interested in this project. I was hoping that he might collaborate with Reba after their recent performance at the ACMs, but oh well.

I love Post but hate country. Are there any good pop leaning songs on the album?

I'm really enjoying it. I find the firs two songs a bit meh. For me the album beings with I Had Some Help. I really love Loser and Nosedive. I usually like most of his albums because I love listening to his voice.

This album is incredible! What don’t belong to me, missing you like this and devil I’ve been are my favorites so far.
What don’t belong to me has serious smash potential.

I don’t know much about country radio, but Nosedive is a mainstream smash if I’ve ever heard it. One of those instantly memorable Post hooks like Sunflower or Circles.

We just have to hope that in the streaming era where the opening album tracks + most notable features always get the most initial streams, the label doesn’t overlook the massive single potential with Nosedive. I do kinda wish it was a much higher profile feature than Wilson on it, it would probably easily be the big track on streaming rn if so. Cool for her to get a mainstream breakout though if it does get single treatment.

This was before he previewed I Had Some Help. The moment I heard that and saw it blow up on Tik Tok was when I knew he would bounce back to a degree

The deluxe bonus disc of all solo material is also great.

He really is quite the chameleon, isn't he? I listened to clips and was kinda surprised that it sounded more...traditional than I thought it would. I was expecting all 808s and trap beats, but...color me surprised. I might pick this up! Then again, fuck him for the 9 track bonus thing. I'm wondering if he will release a complete version with those songs, but the album is already a double vinyl, so...probably not. It's still so weird to me that these artists cater to the streaming kiddies, but then release physical versions that cost $45. The collectors who are willing to shell out good money keep getting the shaft and it should be the opposite, in my opinion.

This is a VERY strong country album and just a damn good album overall. I feel like this is definitely the most authentic of the Post personas because it comes across very natural. Production is great throughout and it's refreshing to hear Post's voice out of the miasma of reverb in which he is usually lost. All I hear are hits on this thang. Also, the band goes OFF. Very impressive. I respect him for going classic pop-country and also some traditional sounding songs, but no 808s and trap beats. I forgot that I liked a few songs from the pop country era when I was growing up like Achy Breaky Heart and Friends In Low Places and of course the iconic Come On Over album. I didn't pick up Orville Peck's latest album because it's all duets and this album is essentially a duets album as well, but it works better for Post, it seems. I might get around to the additional 9 tracks at some point, but this album was already a touch too long, in my opinion, so maybe he should have just done a better job at bringing some of his solo tracks to the main tracklisting. Anyway, I give this a B+
1. Never Love You Again (Oh man, this hit hard. This is that song. It's so beautiful and Post and Sierra really complement each other perfectly.) 2. Missin' You Like This (Wow @ the melodic twists and turns in the chorus. Good for Luke for getting 2 songs on the album! King deserves. Also, the production and band are just...chef's kiss.) 3. Right About You (Ace.) 4. Nosedive (This is great. I love how Post's voice literally nosedives in the chorus. Also, that bridge...Lainey Wilson comes in pretty strong, but I like her voice. First time hearing her. The ending gave me goosebumps.) 5. Devil I've Been (I know I sound like a broken record, but never heard Ernst's voice before and it fits this song SO perfectly. I love everything about this song.) 6. Guy For That (WHEWWWW the melody in the chorus and post-chorus and...yeah, this is perfect. I love Luke Combs' voice, too. This is the only time I have heard him outside of his Fast Car cover.) 7. I Had Some Help (the chorus on this song is FLAWLESS. Sooo well-written. Perfect choice for a first single, too.) 8. Hide My Gun (This is...pretty? I like it a lot.) 9. M-E-X-I-C-O (Jam!! Also, I loved the classic storytelling.) 10. California Sober (This is solid, but I struggled about its placement and ultimately, it's a really solid song. Chris is great, as usual.) 11. Finer Things (I really like the flow and overall composition of this one a lot.) 12. Wrong Ones (the band had me on this one) 13. Yours (Cute but...ngl, songs like this kinda give me the ick, especially in 2024. A little too old-fashioned views for my liking, but I also get that this is a country album and there are a lot of grown men with daughters who will request this at weddings and cry, so I get it. Also, Post sounds great.)
These tracks could be Target bonus tracks and I wouldn't be mad: 14. What Don't Belong To Me (This is so slick. It reminds me of something off Denim & Rhinestones. The random screaming took it down a few notches though.) 15. Have The Heart (Cute.) 16. Pour Me A Drink (This is fine. Another great chorus.) 17. Goes Without Saying (I don't think I have ever heard Brad Paisley sing before and...he seems kinda bland?) 18. Losers (This is kinda giving emo-rap album track played with a live band at a festival. First time hearing Jelly Roll. He's OK.)
