I like this but it wasn’t #1 in the U.S. for country albums.
Carrie Celebrates 10th Consecutive Career Top 10 Debut on Billboard 200 for All Genres with Denim & Rhinestones
Carrie celebrates her 10th consecutive career Top 10 debut on the Billboard Top 200 chart for all genres with her new album Denim & Rhinestones, released June 10. All 10 of Carrie’s …celebachiever.com.ng
It does however talk about the rave reviews the album is getting
...The rave reviews that Metacritic continues to ignore. I think somebody at the label pissed off somebody during the roll-out. It is so weird they're just acting like the release never happened.
True, but I have a hard time reading anything that gets its facts wrong. It’s the teacher in me.
Country Universe too…although they have pretty much shied away from a lot of the new country in the last few years. They didn’t even do ACM predictions this year
Yea, Billy basically implied he hated the album, which I find odd. When every song on an album is good how can you hate it, unless you're trigger lol However, he also said luke combs gave a master class when creating his, so I trust nothing he says since almost every song of lukes sounds the same.
What I would not give for a whole album of songs like Faster. I know Carrie doesn't like love songs like these, but they're my favorite from her. And the production on Faster was just so good. Like you said, it felt like an early 90s song in all the best ways. I need a whole album of songs like it!!
Agree 100% with this. A fan asked Billy if he heard the album, he said "I have, and that's all I'm going to say about it." I started to say something to him, but just left it alone. Everyone has different taste, I get that, but I thought his response was odd given how pretty much her entire hardcore fans love the album. Of all her albums this is the one the overall majority agree they love. He is really hot and cold with her, it's weird. And don't even get me started on the Luke thing. The obsession with him makes me enjoy him and his music less than I probably should. Like, he's fine. He comes across the same as every other male in country that sings about beer. That being said I've always listened to the ladies of country & groups more than the men since I was a kid. I have always enjoyed Brad, Keith, Josh Turner, Dierks, Chris Stapleton (even if i got sick of him winning everything). Guys that actually have a sound and songs that sound different. Brad's lyrics are always pretty clever. This was a ramble, but like I said everyone has their own taste. I just don't get what there is to hate about D&R. It's not like Billy is a purist.
I understand. I used to teach too. lol
What a weird and snobby thing for him to say. Even if he didn't like the whole album, surely there was one he finds decent (Burn, HMH, SDK). Those are made for country radio.
Yea, and she was tagged in the post.
Agree. And similarly to the overall snub from major critics and the Metacritic site, saying "nothing" about the album - or including a veiled jab without a proper review - is worse, in my opinion, than a negative review. Ignoring a project completely seems to suggest that the artist is no-longer mainstream or relevant - not worth the time or energy to critique. That is a bad impression to leave - and certainly isn't fair to an artist of Carrie's stature.
Is there any speculation why they are ignoring the album or Carrie for that matter? I'm a little confused and worried about this.
Jealousy seems like a good word
