Nice!!  All in for this one. Is that noon eastern? Need to make sure with the work schedule lol. 

Yup! Here’s a link to the Facebook post that seems to be the only place with the on sale time info

Ladies and gentlemen it is finally happening. 
 

Presale starts Friday at noon, on Near Mint

New tracks sound so good! 

This is exciting! Hooray for more Tay!

I had notifications turned on in the app for an in-stock alert and was able to get one there shipped with Adele 30 and Trans-Siberian Orchestra Christmas Eve and Other Stories all b2g1

Got my record from target… thrown in a big ass box with some pieces of those big bubble things. FML. 
 

There’s a nice crease in the corner and the spine’s corners are rubbed to shit…. And it’s now sold out. I’m gonna keep from opening it to see if they get restocked and I can get it swapped out.

Are ya'll putting the Taylor's Versions next to the originals or after Evermore on your shelves? 

Next to the originals, for sure!

Found it at Target after work today. They had like 10 of them. Glad I didn't stress about a pre order

That was my plan too, but almost no stores in the Atlanta area have any in stock! In all of Atlanta and the suburbs I think there were maybe 4-5 stores that had them. Now almost no stores had the cd either… so I’m thinking it’s just a distribution issue and they’ll be stocked within the next week. Because of the lack of being in store for me, I just ordered it today and just had it shipped. 

You kept me like a secret but I kept you like an oath

fuck.

CHARLI BABYYYYY!

Hahahaha. The fact that this isn't Viva la Cobra or While the City Sleeps, We Rule the Streets is quite laughable

I agree. But I’ll take it… it’s still a fun album

finally picked up a copy at my target... there were 8 copies and all but 2 were pretty beat up. I'm spinning it right now and it sounds pretty good... I'd say a little better than folklore and evermore

ok just finished a listen through....

Sound is solid throughout, with a few exceptions.

Changes and You All Over Me sound like absolute SHIT.  When We Were Happy sounds kinda mehh.

That one already happened. One time pressing. Future ones will be the bird/sketch art. 

Yeah I didn't word that last post right.... I was hoping for another pressing of it since I was a total dummy ass and slept on it 🙃

More repressings coming...for those wanting a copy of Let It Snow, keep an eye out very soon. 

How about a 5 score repress with the original cover???

Saw on tiktok that the jacket of the target version is thicker than the standard version. Anyone have both and can confirm?

Love that proceeds are going to Atlanta Mission... they do wonderful work here in Atlanta!

This album has just left me wanting "more."

The opening track is stellar and I thought it would really set the tone (or I guess "scene")  for the album... but the rest just seems be more bland in comparison. Especially following all her interviews I really thought she was going to dig deep into her emotions, but while some tracks certainly do, most just scratch at the surface. 

Also, I keep going back to the thinking of (and maybe this is why I'm hard on this album) how perfectly MisterWives's album SUPERBLOOM goes through the emotions of divorce/ending a relationship and set the bar super high for any albums with the same subject matter... and Star Crossed doesn't come anywhere close to it. 

Saw the movie last night. Lots of boobs and bush... I was slightly disappointed in the music. I thought it'd be a lot more rock (There was one blatant rock song is "Easier Than Lying" which reminds me of a little harder version of 3am) but it honestly fits in pretty nicely with the rest of her stuff. I don't think anything really stood out as being a departure for her.  

I had trouble taking it all in... watching the film, depicting all the metaphors, listening to the music, listening to the lyrics... anxious to hear the whole album. She confirmed not all of the music is in the album, which I assumed after seeing it. 

I'm still super lost on this timeline of when she wrote the music, created the album, wrote the screen play, filmed it...

I only ordered the albums so I can't say what was in there, but over on Reddit I saw other people saying the same thing about item(s) missing/incorrect for the box sets

This makes me think the vinyl production was the cause for the big gap in release dates. These are shipping out with the release, so it totally makes sense why we had to wait til november for the album.

All 3 covers for me were black, and a nice crunch in the top right corner, because throwing them in a snug box with no padding/buffer was obviously the smart choice.

The Walmart exclusive looks to be the one for me!

FYI I ordered the target exclusive and it’s already shipped

Looks like they're in stores today too... such a rarity of an album being available the day it's actually released!
