"“The process of making this album has been the most fulfilling yet, and I’m grateful to my fans and collaborators for being on this journey with me. Never have I been more sure of myself and my music, and this record speaks that for itself. To my Lovatics who have been rocking out with me since the beginning and those who are just now coming along for the ride, thank you. This record is for you.”" I've supported Demi since This Is Me and she's exhibited so much creativity and talent since then. An underdog icon who makes her haters angry by being and expressing her outspoken self ("“I’m pissing people off by living my truth,” she shared in a TikTok. “And I’m fucking okay with it.”"), very inspirational.

I’m wonder if the only person taking this seriously is Demi themself. The album cover looks like a MadTV parody of what an "edgy" Demi album cover would look like. Everything about it screams '2003 Marilyn Manson groupie'.

The road is not a good place for an addict. Praying she has good support in place.

Special guest for the tour is Royal & the Serpent? That tells me a lot about what this album is likely to sound like, then. Not very excited about that, but also not too disappointed. That at least means it likely won't be cheesy pop/rock like their first two albums. There might be some gems there.
Never heard of Dead Sara, though.

^ I wouldn't judge the album's sound solely based on the opening acts though. Run the Jewels and Khalid opened for Lorde's Melodrama tour in US and Europe, for example...

^ I wouldn't judge the album's sound solely based on the opening acts though. Run the Jewels and Khalid opened for Lorde's Melodrama tour in US and Europe, for example... While true, Lorde never claimed to be making an album in the same genre as the opening acts. (Also, Khalid opened for Melodrama at some point? For my stop it was Tove Styrke.) Demi, however, is claiming this to be rock of some sort, which Royal & the Serpent also falls into, and they could be going for a "these two acts reach similar audiences" marketing strategy. Deserved. One of my favorite pop hits of the 2010s. Although, Chart Data seems to be jumping the gun here. It hasn't quite passed 1 billion yet, but it should in the next couple of days. It's at 999,526,461. "Solo" will likely be the next to pass that milestone probably by winter. "Heart Attack" and "Cool for the Summer" are also about to surpass 500 million! They'll probably do it around the same time. "Summer" is further behind, but thanks to its viral moment it's gaining faster that "Heart." Both sit with over 490 million currently.

On a positive note, I'm loving how clean this rollout is. We know when we're getting the first single, the video, the album, the tour. Promo spots booked. Visuals are locked, loaded and consistent (whether I like them or not).
Demi isn't pussyfooting around this time, which is refreshing after their last rollout.

The album that never ends... I mean 'THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT: THE ANTHOLOGY' out now!

The difference between this era and the last era couldn't be any different. I am glad Demi knows what they want and everything is going smoothly which is great!

Album release 2 months after lead single, a complete reversal of the previous album's endless wait and I'm here for it

It's interesting seeing how polarizing the response to the album cover and title has been. Seems people either love it or hate it, super excited for it, or calling it a new low.
As for me? Yeah idk what I even feel. Not excited but somewhat intrigued.

I find it interesting that like 98% of ATRL is here for this Demi era (and there are a LOT of Demi haters on ATRL and they'll probably start hating again once the sales come in cuz a lot of them are success stans) but a lot of Pulse isn't feeling it. Could it be an age thing (maybe if the average age is older on here)

There's not much that's original nowadays anyway imo, lol. If anything, this is more original than average nowadays. I'm glad Demi's making a return to the sound she debuted with and that there is cohesive and interesting imagery. And of course, she will serve with her excellent powerful vocals

It leaked. If you mean her ex Max, hopefully not. The cover looks even better in Ultra HQ! Such art and I'm so glad there's no text

Not my thing at all but Demi sounds good! Also, the opening totally reminds me of Celebrity Skin. Hell, the whole song kinda does.

Demi sounds good. It's not reinventing the wheel, but the hook actually has a bit of earworminess to it imo.
