Annoyed that there's two interludes/skits in this and half of "Motion" is just "Better," but I do like it otherwise. "Motion" is actually pretty damn amazing, even with that "Better" sample as its outro. My least favorite track is easily "Suncity," though.

Sweet! I wonder how many Suncity tracks will fill it up, though.

Can't wait for his album. Definitely has many good songs there. I started to like his music with his collaborations with Marshmello (Silence) and Garrix (Ocean). Also remember liking Young, Dumb and Broke and of course quite a few of his new songs, like Talk, My Bad, Self, Saturday Nights.

I am FINALLY onboard with Goaty Throat. I legit LOVE Talk and Better and Love Lies. He has won me over and I ordered his CD from Amazon. It arrives on release day tomorrow and I am low-key excited. I like that he has acoustic ballad type songs and also geeked that Father John Misty wrote a song for the album. I kinda wish I had gone to the screening of the film, since it was down the street from my apt in walking distance, but I am not paying $28 dollars to see it. Hopefully, it is released on Netflix or something soon.

Pretty good album. I like Bad Luck, My Bad, Talk, Right Back, Don't Pretend, Paradise, Outta My Head, Self and Alive. Favourites at the moment are My Bad, Talk and Right Back.

The reviews for this are very mediocre, but I'm guessing it will be a pretty big seller, regardless. The movie is available on YouTube now, which I'm excited about, since I missed it in theaters. Looking forward to listening to the album for the first time.

The album is better than his first album, but it's too long. There are also too many guitar driven tracks. It feels like they saw the success he had with "Love Lies" and tried to recreate that sound over and over again. He is definitely growing as an artist and vocalist though. I'd love for "Talk" to become his first top 10 in the US as a solo act.

Spotify streams aren't very promising, Bad Luck has 1.7M and considering Khalid is pretty successful worldwide, I'd think maybe 40% of those are from the US. I'd love for "Talk" to become his first top 10 in the US as a solo act. You mean Better?

I'd say streams are really good in the US. Not everyone can have album bombs like Drake, Ariana Grande or Billie Eilish, etc.
#5 My Bad 1,31M #6 Outta My Head 1,30M #7 Talk 1,28M #16 Don't Pretend 1,06M #21 Bad Luck 986K #23 Free Spirit 906K #25 Saturday Nights 874K
Lowest track on the album is #70 - Heaven with 504K. All songs, except 3, are in the top 50.

He will be behind Billie on streaming side, but does he have a tour bundle? That might give him even a #1 on albums. Otherwise, no chance.

Y'all, why didn't y'all warn me before getting into this intro. It's like he is doing Frank Ocean better than Frank himself. Absolutely STUNNING. Trust and believe, I will be putting nuthin' but SPEK on his name from now on. Shame that his enunciation is worse than Ariana's. ![:dead:](http://ruadventures.com/forum/Smileys/animated/smiley_resurrect_grave.gif) Anyway, the vibe of this album is so sexy and also dark. I fux wit' it. Yup. Issa A-/B+ from me. Honestly though, the album DOES feel a tad bit bloated. 1. Free Spirit (shit had me in tears, ugh...) 2. Talk 3. Outta My Head (WTF!? What kind of funky Fleetwood Mac type jam is this?) 4. Paradise 5. Right Back (OMG this would CRUSH as a single. WTF kinda jam?! I was NOT ready. Whew!) 6. Better 7. Intro 8. Bluffin' 9. Bad Luck 10. My Bad 11. Hundred 12. Saturday Nights 13. Heaven Bonus Tracks: 14. Alive 15. Twenty One 16. Self 17. Dont Pretend
