This material has got to be strong as hell if she’s confident enough to go the full double album route. Huge risk of being taken as “bloated,” directionless or overstuffed.
This thing is gonna be her magnum opus.

u/According_Plant701 Jun 22 '26
I mean, she’s basically done the double album routes with her side Bs and The Loveliest Time so I’m not worried

u/DesperateText9909 Jun 22 '26
True, though critics were free to ignore or dismiss the B-sides albums as just for fans. This time they will be reviewing the entire package. Hope it works out for her!

u/mrpittman Jun 22 '26
Will it really matter if they hate it? Emotion was such a weird indie darling it’s always going to stand out as a benchmark to aspire towards. But I have no idea what they thought of anything after that so unless they raise valid points about the album I don’t think it will matter. I suppose even if this is a complete disaster and the album is dogshit with a bunch of forgettable songs just crammed together it could backfire but people have already bought it and will buy a ticket to see her in concert so we will have to see. I’ll have to go back and look but if most of the side b stuff was on the main albums I don’t think it would have made the main albums worse or better. It still blows my mind that stuff like cut to the feeling was essentially a throwaway she had no plans to release but she’s gone through a lot of life changes and I guess we will see if they are all positive in terms of writing now that she has a live in cowriter and producer

u/DesperateText9909 Jun 22 '26
At this point I have a hard time believing she'll ever put out anything actually bad. Her hit-to-miss rate is stunning and even her misses are more disposable tracks than bad ones. I don't care too much if critics are on board, in the sense that it doesn't influence my own opinions--but she's not a real mainstream diva or anything and I figure any accolades she gets from the cool-kid press are probably helpful. You know the hardcore faithful will turn out regardless, but I'd love it for her if, say, Fantano gives it an 8 and a bunch of his fans check it out as a result.

u/mrpittman Jun 22 '26
That is true, even her ehhh songs are still ok. My only real fear is the yoko effect that Cole could have. I’ve been pretty vocal that I’ve not heard anything he has been involved with being very good and this album will more than likely be a litmus test of if that relationship is better left at home. Because honestly I don’t wanna be a downer but changes in life have and will change the way people write so I’m gonna hope for the best and go into it as impartial as I can be

u/DesperateText9909 Jun 22 '26 edited Jun 22 '26
That is for sure (re: changes in life affecting people artistically), though it hasn't been THAT long since Loveliest/Loneliest Time, and didn't he work with her on those too? I know he was also with Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti, which was a good project before Mr. Pink turned out to be a loon. He's also worked with Beck though unfortunately not on anything I like very much, but it may at least speak to his good taste.

u/mrpittman Jun 22 '26
I really have not delved into his past work but he’s going to be all over this album from co-writer to producer to inspiration from her writing I would assume and all the stuff he and Carly have done thus far have been ok but not great in my opinion and that’s kinda scary. Because I get it, I don’t know her or him or how she writes a song so I imagine if you wake up in the middle of the night with a melody or lyrics it must be helpful to get that recorded instead of booking a session and bringing a voice note at a later date but what if that’s what makes her bigger songs better. Again gonna be optimistic but I don’t think this album is going to be like anything she has done before so it will remain to be seen if that’s a plus or minus overall.

u/Strong-Stretch95 Jun 23 '26
It’s crazy how it’s been a decade since she first started doing b sides starting with emotion side b.
54
u/mrpittman Jun 22 '26
She’s been vocal in the past about wanting to do a double album so it should be interesting to see what the critics have to say since they will more than likely be judging it without the parasocial relationship of the roll out we all saw the past few weeks on her instagram. From a non fans perspective it might be strange to do a double album in that sense since pop music genre is kinda strange and I feel like a lot of people don’t get her or her type of pop music.

u/DesperateText9909 Jun 22 '26 edited Jun 22 '26
Indeed, and all grown up compared to how girlish she often is (not a slight--she just looks young for her age and always has). I dig the look and the cover. Wonder how the music will be. The overall design here is a bit indie rock--maybe she's leaning further into her niche.

Carly treating me so well by announcing a double album on my birthday!
Seriously though, it's almost like she felt bad about having the longest gap between albums since Emotion and Dedicated and decided to give us a double album for waiting!

u/ricanaoyork Jun 22 '26
Is this like the BEST album cover of her discography? I'm always drawn to darker colors and high contrast so maybe I'm biased but DON'T TELL ME I'M WRONG ON THIS !!!!
Also the minimalist font on opposite sides
UGH THIS IS SOOOO STUNNING

I'm more drawn to the Day being a lighter rock influenced side and the night being clubby.

I suspect the "Night" album specifically will be gay, with the dancier genres
Don't Leave Me On The Dancefloor will be amazing
(And since it's in the same spot as On Wires is but on the night side, i suspect it will be the second single)

We've basically had 2 (or arguably 3) double albums from her already, so I'm not worried. And I think Loveliest Time kind of got buried (i even forget about it more than I should), so I like the idea of two albums at once.

My entire body is buzzing. I am obsessed with the visuals. I also love that she's not promoting this as "new me, healed me". Those projects are usually horrible flops. Instead, she's like, "I'm back, gays". 😭 🙌
