I was sure I was going to dislike "Pink Sunglasses' but then that "$9.99" part in the chorus happened.

The first half ending with "Use My Heart" and the second half opening with "Tin Man"
I feel like such a dope for not noticing this

excited to spin this!!

I look forward to listening to this record when it's not on.

i basically love every song on this album except covered wagon
― Heez, Wednesday, 7 December 2016 03:26 (seven years ago) link
I was listening to it in the shower this morning -- the chorus is a jam imo
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 7 December 2016 03:27 (seven years ago) link
all those end of year lists that were compiled before this album came out need a do-over.

always been fonder of the vibe of revolution than crazy ex-girlfriend even if it's hard to argue for the former song-by-song
same here and this definitely feels more like a return to that Revolution vibe

damn 12 years since Kerosene. what other country singers have had that kinda run recently?

After hearing Vice, I wasn't expecting much with this record, but it's really good!
― JacobSanders, Wednesday, 7 December 2016 04:24 (seven years ago) link
i love vice!!!
― Heez, Wednesday, 7 December 2016 04:28 (seven years ago) link
I've come around to liking Vice in the context of the album, but at first it sounded uneventful to me.
― JacobSanders, Wednesday, 7 December 2016 04:49 (seven years ago) link
"Runnin' Just in Case" is fantastic

"Vice" was the first song of hers that I heard and was floored
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 7 December 2016 17:22 (seven years ago) link
she has a lot of songs about broken-hearted ppl driving aimlessly on the highways i appreciate that
― That's when I fired off my 2 Tweets to Dr. Phil (crüt), Wednesday, 7 December 2016 17:31 (seven years ago) link
"vice" floors me now but for some reason didn't as a single
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 7 December 2016 17:57 (seven years ago) link
'vice' is a lot better as a kickoff tune than 'automatic' was, though in the context of 'platinum' i came around on the latter a bit more (it's still the single not-great song from that album though)
― nomar, Wednesday, 7 December 2016 18:04 (seven years ago) link
yeah the weird thing is "vice" also strikes me as the obvious lead single and standout but when it was actually a single i enjoyed it but didn't really cane it like i'm doing now
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 7 December 2016 18:06 (seven years ago) link
"Somethin' Bad" is exactly that xpost
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 7 December 2016 18:08 (seven years ago) link
🤔 I guess that one too
― nomar, Wednesday, 7 December 2016 18:16 (seven years ago) link
should have a platinum poll. we're actually getting close to her having enough songs for one of these artist polls or a listen thread
― nomar, Wednesday, 7 December 2016 19:46 (seven years ago) link
there's nothing wrong with "somethin bad"
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 7 December 2016 21:51 (seven years ago) link
Platinum was my favorite album of 2014, and while I won't change my ranking its flaws grate on me more than ever: the dismissal of loose, catty women using loose, catty terms; the facile gestures towards an imagined past of awesome VCRs or something; the neither-here-nor-thereness of "Somethin' Bad." What I love about TWOTW is how she's past this nonsense -- she figured out what she wants to say and whom to hire so she can say it. Maybe the road as controlling metaphor liberated her songwriting.
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 7 December 2016 21:58 (seven years ago) link
"neither-here-nor-thereness"?
i mean, it's a flippant song that knows it's throwaway, and you definitely don't get that on the new one...
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 7 December 2016 22:02 (seven years ago) link

Isn't that one of the reasons everyone loves Beyonce?

assuming no abrupt neocommunist revolution before new years, this was the best part of 2016
― difficult listening hour, Friday, 16 December 2016 08:11 (seven years ago) link
also that's a steal for polarized ones imo
― difficult listening hour, Friday, 16 December 2016 08:15 (seven years ago) link
which is why it's right that it's the most ecstatic part of the song

"To Learn Her" is like some lost country gem

can't get over how good this album is
― Heez, Monday, 9 January 2017 06:01 (seven years ago) link
Album of the Year winner at ACM last night. I'm fairly confident thinking it's her best album -- I listen to it at least three or four times a month.
I updated a quick best-of playlist I assembled last year.

"Ugly Lights," guys

I was in my brother-in-law's truck this morning while he switched through various pop-country stations and "Tin Man" came on, sounding utterly unlike anything else that popped up
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Saturday, 15 April 2017 18:09 (seven years ago) link
i'm really glad her label's giving that one a chance on the radio
people reacted really strongly to her performing it on the acm awards

yeah the clearchannel dweeb doing the countdown thing mentioned that specifically

Upon its release in late 2016, The Weight of These Wings was accompanied by a deluxe, hardbound book, containing exclusive images and details about the album’s creative and recording process of which only a few hundred copies were printed. Now, those images and words have been combined with official videos and previously unheard audio interviews from Lambert.
Today Lambert launches her a one-of-a-kind, interactive Virtual Book for The Weight Of These Wings, where fans can visit TheWeightOfTheseWings.com, connect to their own Spotify accounts with a single click, and stream all of The Weight Of These Wings double album 24 songs, which were originally spread across two CDs (and six sides of vinyl), thematically dubbed ‘The Nerve’ and ‘The Heart.’

Her best album.

Saw she put out a new track with Leon Bridges but haven't listened yet. Also extended her LV residency...toying with the idea of trying to get out there for a night or two...Anyone been or heard any reviews?
