[ALBUM THREAD] The Head Above Water Thread

I think it’s 99% legit and you will see it on Wednesday when she releases the pre-order. The album comes in two months, is not that surprising they have the information.

Are you really complaining about 12 songs? What did you expected, 18? At least she is not giving a 10-album-track like many artists are doing today. She has always provided 12-13 songs of each album.

The cover is weird, but I want to wait until Wednesday to see if there’s no additional editing on it. I like it but I expected something different maybe.

The tracklist looks her best, at least for me. Only ‘Bigger Wow’ is not of my taste but I want to know the actual meaning of the song before judging it. I remember people dragging ‘Hush Hush’ and it finally ended being one of her best ballads.

She's going to release the pre-order on Wednesday?

Many artists are actually 14-16 songs. Sometimes they have deluxe versions with up to 20 songs. Hopefully Avril will have one too.

Well, it can’t be fake when the photo is new and the Hong Kong fanbase posted it days ago. The album is coming in two months and she’s releasing a new song on Wednesday. It’s pretty obvious they are announcing the album too.

You mentioned Kelly Clarkson. She released an album with 14 tracks and one of them is an intro of one minute, so 13 tracks. Plus, the songs are short overall. I bet HAW will be longer having one song less.

Pink released Beautiful Trauma after 5 years of waiting and there were 13 tracks. I didn’t see her fanbase crying.

Mariah Carey has released one of her best albums after 4 years and it has 10 songs.

Florence + The Machine have released High As Hope with 10 songs.

Next Lana Del Rey album (Norman Fucking Rockwell) will have 11 songs.

Robyn has released Honey after years of absence, it has 9 songs.

I prefer short albums rather than long ones full of fillers like Phoenix, LM5 or Always in Between (12 songs in those albums would have been perfect).

Avril recorded around 20 songs. There are artists who record more than 100 songs and release a typical 10-16 album. You can’t be serious about this.

That’s not the back cover. It’s just a pic she uploaded few days ago with the tracklist written on it.

The supposed album cover is... a choice. I like the concept, at some point I said I wanted this kind of photo (naked.mp3, but vulnerable and artistic) but the photoshop is so odd... Her body looks disconnected from her head (above water.mp3). The coloring and light looks questionable as well... But I'll wait!

The tracklist seems legit, but again, I'll wait.

I'm anticipating I Fell In Love With The Devil and basically everything but Dumb Blonde lol.

I have the same doubts but you know, it's Avril. Everything is possible.
