Username checks out lol love it!Personally, I think ST is her best album and what a lot of listeners want from her. Give us the stories and the country drama.

It's her best body of work, because not only is sonically cohesive, but it has some really good songs on it and the writing is excellent. It's incredible. It's an album that i can play anytime, i am never tired of it, that's something that didn't happen to me with D&R. i got tired of it really quick, and now i only listen to a few songs. i don't think it's a bad album at all, but it didn't grab me like ST and BA didPersonally, I think ST is her best album and what a lot of listeners want from her.

Yeah, agreed. For whatever reason, this era just didn’t connect at all. I don’t know why but unfortunately most people didn’t seem to care about it. I really want next era to sound like Storyteller. It’s pretty country, it was fun, and it connected super well on every front - sales, radio, streaming, with fans, etc.I agree with everything but the residency thing. I think it was very successful. It's not like she stopped touring and only did Vegas. She did both, so I don't think that was a misstep.
This era from a music prespective, however, was a misstep, in my opinion. Hopefully, we get something really great and different and country for the next one.
It’s interesting because I’ve seen things like this a lot from Carrie fans with these last two albums that definitely have different sounds for Carrie. And for me, I don’t really find myself listening to Cry Pretty much anymore. I’ll listen to a couple songs but I don’t replay the album much and so I can understand how people can say this for D&R tooIt's her best body of work, because not only is sonically cohesive, but it has some really good songs on it and the writing is excellent.

I really think I’m just ready for Carrie to say goodbye to David Garcia. While I appreciate some of the pop sounds we got and some fun songs, his production has a heavy burn for me. I don’t listen to much on CP anymore aside from the title track and Southbound. For D&R, I listen to about a fourth of it.
I really want an album like storyteller again. It was the perfect sound, the perfect mix of pop and country. And there’s a reason it was extremely successful for Carrie. I was surprised the other day to see how many songs on it are streaming amazingly, too. It resonated with a lot of people.
but despite this, I have a fear we are just getting another album with David that sounds like these last two
CP has some of her best songs ever (Low, Ghosts, Spinning Bottles). Mixing those lyrics and Storytellers countrier side could be really cool. I fear with David Garcia as producer we may not get that.
Omg why would she release it in August?? Doesn’t her team know September is soooo much better than August?! UghhhhhhI just read her next album is coming out on in August. It’s called, “Radio Friendly Country,” and the lead single is “Everybody Else Knows Best”
… if you read this far, you should know I’m just fooling around
Completely agree! While David earned my respect for MS's production, it hasn't translated to her regular country albums. They have shown glimpses of it (Low in particular!), it may be time to move on.CP has some of her best songs ever (Low, Ghosts, Spinning Bottles).

I feel like the production on MS had to be the way it was. It was a more serious output. But David goes nuts on mainstream albums. Carrie is not without responsibility in the production now, but I feel David has a big influence.Completely agree!

I agree with most of this! I would love for her to work with new co writers also. However, I personally think Hillary Lindsey has proved that she has done a really good job with a lot of Carrie’s albums. I wouldn’t mind her still collaborating with her. She co-wrote Church Bells, Dirty Laundry, Cry Pretty, Hate My Heart, Jesus Take the Wheel, Ghost Story, See You Again, Smoke Break, Just A Dream, Starts With Goodbye, There’s A Place For Us, Last Name, Two Black Cadillacs, Wasted, So Small, Someday When I Stop Loving You, and Little Toy Guns. A lot of awesome lyrics in those!I agree, i am also tired of Hillary Lindsey, i know they are friends, but i really hope she works with new people. I love when artists go out of their confort zone, and do incredible things with new producers & songwriters. Storyteller was great because it wasn't produced by only 1 guy, they were i think 3? and everyone brought something great to the album
Spinning Bottles, such a great song, but i don't know if it's my cd but the mix is really bad, Carrie sounds too loud. Not the biggest fan of David Garcia's production on CP BUT his production on MS is incredible, so i don't know
