Update Link: Chain Reaction – Part 5
Last Night: Warning Shots – Part 2 | Chain Reaction – Part 4

When I decided to a double update yesterday and today, I didn’t mean for it to be prophetic!

I made it to midnight, and listened to the first 16 songs on The Tortured Poets Department. Finished around 1:15 ish, and figured well, there’s a 5% chance something is happening at 2. Lemme just listen to the album again until then. I’m a Liason fan, I know all about pinning my hopes on a small line of dialogue. I thought MAYBE we’d get a few extra songs — something like the 3 AM Edition of Midnights.

The way I SCREAMED when I realized it was a DOUBLE ALBUM. This unhinged woman dropped FIFTEEN MORE SONGS at 2AM!!! What choice did I have, I ask you, but to listen immediately. I finished at 3 am, stumbled to bed and woke around 8 to listen to it all again.

I have a few early favorites (So Long, London is the most track 5 of all track 5s, Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me is perfection, I Can Do It With A Broken Heart will kill you dead, and loml is devastating). I think I need to listen to the second half of the album again, but right now The Albatross is probably my favorite, though I’m sure that’ll change.

ANYWAY. Album Launch Day was a success, thanks to everyone who helped me stay distracted until it was released.

I’ll be back at 5 PM for another edition of Warning Shots. Then tomorrow we switch back to single updates because I have to dive into my Crimson Swift project because I have 31 new songs to figure out, lol, and I need to finish the evermore featured story.

I can’t believe she dropped a whole second album. Insanity.
