Are we really judging an album off three songs, which are all singles? We all know singles have the most superficial lyrics out of any record and that we shouldn't expect too much out of them.
I understand the lyrical content is nothing too well-thought, but it's undoubtfully an improvement from her TBDT lyrics. We know Avril always tends to relate fast paced music to lighthearted lyrics. She cannot seem conceive the idea that a fast song can be as deep or even deeper than a full-on ballad. That being said, we've heard 3 out of 12 songs, without counting the ones that will be included on the Deluxe version. We still have 9 more songs to be able to give a thorough feedback without jumping into conclusions. I'm not even expecting some epic lyrics here because Avril herself has described the lyrics as fun and her poking fun at herself.
She's happy, and she feels more passionate about these songs than the totality of her last two albums combined, that is saying something. We have three more weeks to go, I can't wait to hear the rest of this record.

Honestly, the song has been leaked since yesterday night presumably and nobody aside a few people in the fandom have any idea about it, which is good. This even means that if the full album leaks, as long as her team is hands on working actively shutting down links, she'll be just fine and nobody in the GP will even know about this.
Miley's Plastic Hearts leaked about 6 months prior to the official release of her album, and trust me when I tell you nobody in the GP knew about these leaks, it was well kept within the Smilers (Miley's fanbase), and she is currently a more relevant artist than Avril, so we shouldn't worry about it getting leaked three weeks prior to its release, again, as long as her team actively works on taking down links on YT, Twitter and social media in general.
If the album does really leak these coming days, I don't know what I'll do. I was so looking forward to hearing it straight on its release date to enjoy it with the rest of the world, so that's a real bummer. We're so close to it that I don't even care about hearing the leaks now. I'll probably listen to it once and hold off until Feb 25th.

I see a lot of people assuming the Bois Lie music video has already been filmed since mid-January. Do we know anything else? We have no idea if she's filmed anything yet, especially since she's still waiting to film the ILIWYHM music video...I don't think she's filmed anything yet, so I doubt they're planning on releasing Bois Lie along with the album release later this month,

I loved the song!! I agree it sounds more MGK maybe than Avril? Like LMG sounded more Nickelback than her, but it still suits her really well. It sound much more anthemic than LIWYHM, and would definitely have potential as a hit single in the alternative charts. I hope this leak doesn't ruin her team's plans.
This record is building up to become easily my third favorite album by her, surpassing TBDT.

This is a good time for a friendly reminder not to request/post links to leaked songs. It goes against the thread rules.

So basically it's a card and you can't even put it inside because it's bigger It seems to be the same size? Not sure though, but it doesn’t look bigger. Let’s hope it isn’t

Ok so they’re actually cards. Not surprised though, most artists are doing cards now anyways so in the end I guess we had it coming lol. HOWEVER, they seem to be the exact same size as the album booklet, hence, we’ll be able to place it as cover, so that’s awesome! My concern was that the card was actually a tad smaller or that it was a different picture, but thankfully that’s not the case, which is great!

It feels rushed because we haven't had a proper era since 2007. THIS is what an era should feel like. No delays, constant releases, interviews and promo. We have gotten so used to mediocre eras that this feels even hard to keep up with lol. But yeah, that's basically why.

Has she ever made it past the #200 spot on Spotify? I think I recall back in the HAW era she was 100 and something but I’m not sure…

Considering Mod’s Deluxe album was released on both vinyl and CD, I think she will release it physically, since she’s following his steps.
However, if we don’t get it physical, at least we’ll have it on streaming and with perhaps an alternate cover.

No way she won't release a physical version of the deluxe version with everything she's putting out. I think it's 100% granted we'll have it on CD, and she's probably holding off the vinyl to release it in its deluxe version.
Right now we have all of these physical editions: - Standard - Signed - Amazon Exclusive with poster - UK limited edition Spray Paint - Japanese Edition (Bite Me Acoustic as Bonus Track) - Cassette (Red, Orange and standard black)
I'm sure we'll get the deluxe version CD and vinyl, plus the standard version vinyl either off her store or a third party (Music on Vinyl or Urban Outfitters)

I haven’t listened to the other episodes because I’ve been having like 0 free time lately, but I managed to listen to this latest one and I loved it!! Great job, Andrea!! Too bad she just confirmed yesterday the deluxe and that she’s restocking the singed CDs lmao. But that’s the thing this era, things are constantly moving, so it’s hard to keep 100% updated, especially when you have to record + edit it. I don’t listen to too many podcasts, because of time and the fact that some are over an hour long and sometimes it’s too much for me, but this was perfect in length and you covered every aspect in full detail, so I loved that. I hope I get to hear the rest soon, and can’t wait for more episodes once the release day comes!

What’s everyone’s take on her talking about actual signed CDs? Should we be hopeful then?
She said there’s 1500, is she including the art cards from UK as well or do you all think it will only be signed cards in the end for everybody? 1500 sounds too small for both the alleged autographed Cd/booklet and the art card from UK…
By the way, no responses yet from her store?

I have a question. If you order the CD from her official site how long do you think it takes to deliver? I think they’re shipped the day of release. But it will depend on whether they’re sent by standard email or express. I don’t remember if there was an option to choose one or the other. I’d say within the US itself perhaps three or four days? Maybe they’ll ship them beforehand so that they arrive on the 25th? That’s what Amazon does I think. By the way, she still has 1500 copies to sign. Given the days left (27 days), that would mean she would have to sign 55 every day. The more she takes to sign them, the more she’ll have to do daily. I wonder if these will come out by the 25th or if she’ll take some more days to send them because of this…

I doubt they’re new songs. They’re most likely acoustic or piano versions of songs from the standard version. In addition, she should be including 3-5 brand new songs (if she follows Mod Sun’s steps) , so maybe 3 acoustic/piano versions and 3-5 new songs from the blackboard.
By the way, if that’s the case, I’m so happy we’re getting actual acoustic versions of the songs with her re-recorded vocals. She is doing things so well this era I couldn’t have ever imagined four months ago this would’ve been possible.
