This album is basically what I thought it was going to be. Pop bop after pop bop. If your into the prior releases from the project this is definitely for you!! If you’re not into this kind of music or her prior stuff I can’t imagine it’s for you. Favorites so far are… Almost every track is good. I guess besides the singles “Ghost, Sleepwalker and Hold up Just Wait A Minute”? It really is a great album. I guess the only complaint could be that 14 tracks of bops may be to much for some??

Finished listening to it and these are my faves:
-Million Dollar Baby -Sleepwalker -Maybe You're The Problem -Hold Up (Wait a Minute) -Weapons -Turn Off The Lights -One Of Us -Cold As Ice -Dancings Done
The album is full of bops and i'm definitely a fan. I'll be playing it at the gym a lot so my list will probably change in the next few weeks.
I'm honestly still surprised that MYTP flopped but I hope somehow she can bounce back and get another hit soon. I just don't see anything else from this album being a big hit other than that. I also don't really get the appeal of Ghost

I’ve been listening like crazy since yesterday and here’s my current ranking:
Top half: Dancing’s Done Cold As Ice Sleepwalker Last Night On Earth Ghost One of Us Get Outta My Heart Million Dollar Baby
Bottom half (but still BOPS): Hold Up (Wait A Minute) Maybe You’re the Problem Weapons Diamonds & Dancefloors Turn Off The Lights In The Dark
I was a casual fan during the Heaven & Hell era but I’m here to officially punch my stan card.

I absolutely love this album. I didn't really know Ava outside of "Sweet but Psycho" until recently and I have gone through her two albums and loved all of it. Definitely someone I will continue to listen to.

Really enjoying the album so far. Bop after bop is the perfect description.

Listened to the album twice since yesterday, and like her debut, it's a solid pop effort!! Some of my favorites are MYTP, Ghost, D&D, One of Us, and Dancing's Done.
How are we expecting this to do on the charts? I notice it's #2 on iTunes (beating Sam Smith), however nothing on Spotify or Apple top 100, and she isn't mentioned in the HITS predictions. Her last album debuted at #27, so is a top 20 start out of reach?

I don’t know why but I feel like this album is going to set her up for major success the time the next album comes. I don’t see this being a big era with only a few minor hits, but this is going to reignite a lot of interest in fans, and she will have one of the most successful albums of the year in a few years

I've already said it but I am absolutely obsessed with this album. Currently "One of Us" and "Get Outta My Heart" are my favorites.

I recently checked out this album twice over the past week and it is a very solid pop album and reminiscent of her debut album. It’s bop after bop after bop.
My favorites are: Ghost (this needs to be a single) Sleepwalker Cold As Ice Maybe You’re The Problem

Great album. I feel like she’s just one iconic music video / live performance from total stardom. I see it for her!

She has zero charisma or star power outside of the studio, so I really do not see an iconic music video or live performance coming from this girlie.

This is a really enjoyable album, a lot of catchy hooks and melodies to be found.
There's still something about her that feels faceless to me though. Not that you need a strong brand/persona to make great pop music, but it certainly gives it more oomph.

Personally, this album just doesn't do it for me. Her debut was much stronger, IMO. There's nothing here that's bad, it's all just a little too been there, done that even for her. That being said, there are a few cute bops on here.
Maybe You're the Problem Hold Up (Wait a Minute) Cold as Ice Last Night on Earth

There's nothing like "Sweet but Psycho" and "Belladonna" here. That's why I think, while this album is fantastic, it falls a bit more generic than her debut.
But if you're a sucker for big pop choruses and crisp dance-pop productions, I guarantee you'll enjoy this album.

Um...ok, I did a breezethrough of clips via Apple Music and...sign me up. I had seen she had talent in that song I love - Slow Dance - but other than that, I did not pay attention to her. I can't even tell you how Sweet Psycho goes, but I will be buying this album immediately.

Funny you mention Gaga, as the more I dive into Ava, the more I see the Gaga cosplay. When I saw her on Kelly Clarkson, I legit thought she was wearing one of Gaga's OG outfits.

Great album! so many single choices , not one bad song. Id love to see Weapons, Hold Up and Ghost get released. Hold Up is slept on . I cant remember the last time i enjoyed a pop music album as much as this.
