For some reason, I think all of these big name collabs are not gonna be hit material.

^ Basically all the same artists, just without Adele. Are we comparing the same lists because there are some big differences. J. Hud We wish, sis.

For some reason, I think all of these big name collabs are not gonna be hit material. "I Don't Care" is already a hit and "Cross Me" is doing fairly well, so that's already false. But if you're speaking of just the unreleased material, it all depends on how it sounds and it they fit into today's music climate. I too feel the Camila/Cardi and Eminem/50 tracks are going to initially perform well, but tank quickly. I have nothing to base that on, just a suspicion (perhaps expectations not being met), but that Bruno/Chris track feels like the star of the album. I imagine it's a ballad of some sorts and, well, that's where all three artists kill. I wouldn't be surprised to see one of the tracks with smaller acts do well too.

This new Blow song may go down as the worst song in the last five years. I think he official just sold himself out.

What is this obsession with him selling out? As if Perfect being a duplicate of Thinking Out Loud wasn’t ‘selling out’

Like I respect Ed but but this feels so so cookie cutter, faux rock badass 2000 atrociousness.

I liked" Blow" because it wasnt the typical thing we were waiting for and I dont take this project too serious I mean it seems Ed just did what he was up to and have fun.I think every song is gonna be different and it might be the nicest thing on it.

Um... this album is actually really good? After how generic "I Don't Care" was and how "Beautiful People" let me down, I wasn't expecting to really like this so much.
I'm up to "Feels" right now and it's just... so fun! "South of the Border" is a bop, "Take Me Back to London" is pure f**king fire, "Antisocial" is enjoyable, "Remember the Name" is a low key jam, "Feels" is cute etc.
OMG "Put It All on Me" just began and it's not what I expected! Another fire bop!
"Nothing on You" sounds mid-2000s with a modern Latin flare and I'm here for it!
The horn section on "I Don't Want Your Money" is sexy AF.

There aren't huge hits here but very solid and exciting effort. Love the production on many.
Feels, Cross Me and Take Me Back to London are my favorites.

I thought this album was going to be a disaster, but it was executed very well. I Don't Care still sucks.

On first listen and snap judgment, this MAY be my favorite Ed album. It's dynamic and somehow manages to be cohesive. Ed does trap and urban shit REALLY well. I Don't Care is still a personal fave, but aside from the Eminem/50 song, the songs with rappers>>>>/
1. Take Me Back To London (O. M. G. THIS. BANGER. I have a thing for British rappers, but did Ed have to go SO hard on this? Also...Skrillex was involved, so guaranteed fire! I want, like, two more rappers to hop on this.) 2. I Don't Care (the song actually makes me cry. y'all haters have no souls, basically. Bieber steals the show though. Those adlibs at the end do it every time. This song will NEVER get old for me.) 3. Antisocial (YES. YES. YES. "Don't touch me, I came to vibe" is my MOTTO, dammit.) 4. 1000 Nights (Meek Mill SPAT. First time hearing Hood Booger. He was OK.) 5. South Of The Border 6. Cross Me 7. Blow 8. I Don't Want Your Money 9. Way To Break My Heart 10. Nothing On You 11. Feels 12. Put It All On Me 13. Remember The Name 14. Best Part Of Me (this is what made me fall in love with Ed in the first place. this sappy shit hits me SO hard omg. still though...it got progressively worse as it went on, unlike his other tearjerkers that had me in shambles by the end. It started off REALLY strong though.) 15. Beautiful People (the fact that this, a perfectly good and capable, radio-ready song is at the bottom of the pack is a testament to the quality of what precedes it.)

The only songs I enjoyed were Antisocial and Take Me Back To London. The rest sounds way too generic and the Justin Bieber track is atrocious.

I got the vinyl because I own all of Ed's albums on record (and CD) but the vinyl didn't come with a digital download. ugh
I'll listen soon though lol

How much do we think this is going to open with? My guess is 500-700k. Super solid pop album

Take Me Back To London and South of The Border are EXCELLENT.
I also liked Remember the Name.
I’ve lost most of my interest in him but these three songs are really Clicking with me and I am happy for him.

Projected to debut at #1 with 140-170k SPS (60-80k sales). For someone coming off such a bombastic era as "Divide" and having so much star power on the album, this is lackluster.
