Way better than Witness. Never Really Over and Teary Eyes are bops. However, she just doesn't have those catchy hooks like she nailed on almost every song for Teenage Dream and sometimes on Prism. Sadly, a lot of it has to do with age, confidence and lack of Dr. Luke.
That's my take
Starting track 5. Why tf wasn't Teary Eyes the 2nd single after Never Really Over
Christ all the alternative album covers are better than what she picked
Yeah she deff made a mistake with the singles
@Lamont thanks 4 rotation tha album. Chief keef - skrt skrt skrt. Even trade.
can't be worse than Witness surely
It's way better than Witness. Arguably better than Prism minus the singles

yeah I hated witness personally, I'll give this a listen though.

It's very solid. The issue is the title track as a single and the terrible cover art
