Brave releasing an album the same day as Taylor Swift, you have to imagine there's a lot of overlap in the fanbase

Brave, or epically bad decision making by the label? If it weren't for this post I wouldn't have even known.

That being said, I will be merging Midnights and The Loneliest Time into a playlist for the drive home.

She had the date first

Announced or actually had it first. The labels know more than the public. It would be surprising to learn that they didn’t have some idea Swift was dropping on the same date. Possible though.

Carly is also signed to Scooter’s label so there might be a little beef there?

That’s funny, because Swift was the surprise release to me today.

Can confirm that they don’t jive. But they’re both great. Carly is a great way to rebound from Swift, though.

Taylor and Carly have made my grueling flight schedule today so much better!

Bit of a different genre but there's a new Arctic Monkeys album today too.

An all round good day

New Tegan & Sara album as well. However, and I say this as someone that loved everything from So Jealous (2004) through Sainthood (2009), the new album is pretty forgettable stuff. I have to take a mini-roadtrip later today, and I am looking forward to instead listening to the new Arctic Monkeys and Carly Rae Jepsen albums

Dude same, and I'm a pretty big fan of heartthrob and love you too death as well. It just didn't really hit this time around I guess

Yeah, but she's got Rufus on her side. Who does Taylor have, Lana Del something? Never heard of her.

Yep! And the Raycists are mad about Lana only doing background vocals lol

Ha, honestly I was a bit disapointed too. While listening to the album for the first time, I kept waiting for their duo, not realizing I had already heard it ><
