Sam Smith - Love Goes (3rd album) + Diamonds

well BOTH of their first two albums were about unrequited feelings, so... SHE'S GOT FORM

 

THEY !!!!!1

 

who are you correcting?

 

It baffles me that THEIR Wikipedia page only uses the correct pronouns unlike on the Spanish and Portuguese entries all you see is HIM HIM HIM, the french one is inconsistent calling THEM a HE randomly. I hope it pisses THEM off. Bunch of cunts.

 

I think I actually love Young.

 

Without DRUNKENLY saying TOO MUCH, can I just say BANG ON THE NAIL!

 

Hope the new album goes well though xx

 

The rest of the album though... did they really put three interchangeable ballads in a row?

 

The fact that How Do You Sleep? is a bonus track is just too tragic.

 

and Dancing With a Stranger plus Promises from 2018. DEAD.

 

Neither Sam nor Ariana exactly slaying the sales game

1 Ariana Grande - positions (13.5k) *
2 Sam Smith - Love Goes (12.9k) *
3 Cliff Richard - Music... The Air That I Breathe (10.9k)
4 Bruce Springsteen - Letter to You (8.0k)
5 The Style Council - Long Hot Summers: The Story Of The Style Council (5.3k)

I'd guess they're looking at 18-20k by Friday. Streaming should push Ariana closer to 30k.

 

I love this album. It's just what I need for these dark winter nights incoming, and certainly Sam's first enjoyable front-to-back effort.

I added the two banger singles and To Die For - gives it a much more balanced banger : ballad ratio. here's my loon rate

08 Young
10 Diamonds
09 Another One
10 Dancing With a Stranger
09 To Die For
09 So Serious
08 For The Lover That I Lost
09 Dance ('Til You Love Someone Else)
08 My Oasis
08 Breaking Hearts
10 How Do You Sleep?
08 Forgive Myself
07 Love Goes
07 Kids

 

I don‘t think I‘ve ever listened to a whole SS albam so might give this a go* unless Spotify subsequently spews their old songs in my face à la that time I decided to become a lamb and unwanted Mimi recommendations started appearing after I’d realised it was all a horrible mistake and I’d rather listen to Biophilia in a vat of cow brains and head cheese

*NOT NOW THOUGH BECAUSE I’VE GOT ARCA ON

 

yay Zu, come join me in Sam's MOOPY FANCLUB OF ONE.

 

Diamonds is up to 11 in the mids YAY!

 

Well this album is quite good so far. Also, no overly obvious autotune which always gets a

 

The novelty of there being someone who doesn‘t need it!

 

you missed I Feel Love hun, or was that an Asian bonus track only?

 

Only available on the RHODESIAN DELUXE

 

After one listen, I give the albam a Metacritical 84

 

I absolutely love the album too. It’s his first album that I’ve really enjoyed from beginning to end.

 

is anyone still stanning the LIVING TITS out of this album? It's so brilliant.

holding quite well in the top 5 with decent sales - hope they keep pushing it with a big CHRISTMASSY BALLAD PERF or two on UK TV.

 

Yep, I listen to it every day. It's a total triumph! So glad to see it holding up well.

 

Brand new song!

 

A new song already?!

 

It's a Christmas(sy) song I believe.

these are the physical edition bonus tracks btw

 

Oh Sam not Facebook Watch

 

The new is gorge.

 

Yes, really lovely! And shriek-free!
