All of the snippets have so good. Especially excited for "Chihiro" after that Fortnite snippet.

It is speculated that there might be a second installment of the album coming soon.

With 10 tracks on this album, a second album seems plausible.
There are guesses the other album will be red in colour like blue for this one.

Sitting pretty at a 95 on Metacritic with only 4 reviews in so far.

This is how you deliver a cohesive album. One of the tops of the year for me. Production is incredible and unexpected. What a body of work!!

Ms. Eyelash never misses. Still on my first listen but how dreamy and gorgeous is 'Skinny', how breezy and intoxicating is 'Birds Of a Feather', etc. Will be streaming this for a long time!

This is incredible! Some of the most interesting and boldest production I’ve heard out of any of the new releases this year! Beyoncé… sorry girl you may be waiting another year

Great from start to finish. Halfway through my third listen and I'm really enjoying each song. Chihiro is incredible, definitely my favorite. Will give more thoughts tomorrow once I've sat with it more.

As someone that dislikes her first two albums quite a bit, I'm genuinely shocked by how much I love this. Easily my favorite album by her and already contains my favorite tracks by her. Love the production especially, Finneas stepped his game up here. And OMG, they finally got the vocal production and mixing right, she's never sounded better. Just a really solid body of work.

Cowboy Carter is my favourite album this year, but this is a close second. :) Album is definitely an evolution and I’m here for it!
Not sure my favorites yet, but Birds Of A Feather is pretty stellar.
Like Cowboy Carter this is an album I only want to play front to back.

I’ve tried multiple times to rank the songs. I literally can’t. They’re all special in their own way and stand out on their own.
But Birds definitely is my favourite. But again, I love them all.

Billie delivered massively with this. I think she's front runner for AOTY now. Particularly with how cohesive the album is.
Hoping the streaming numbers and success will equal how great the album is to really push the narrative for AOTY.

There are some good songs on here but I’m getting really tired of her whisper voice. She actually has such a dynamic and powerful voice and rarely uses it. Birds of a feather is in the right direction for me.

Absolutely her best album. She's really mastered that fine balance of delicate and power that's always characterized her material. Production and delivery on point.
