For myself it’s not extremely memorable. There are some bops like Opalite, Cancelled, and The Life of a Showgirl. I don’t see myself putting the album in my main rotation, however. On their own, the tracks don’t fit anywhere in my playlist. (Sidenote: she really likes the word bouquet in this one, lol)
Anyway, I did say that TTPD wouldn’t go in my main rotation for a while when it came out, and it’s now my third most played album next to Midnights and folklore so… maybe my opinion will change.
What I appreciate about this one is that The Life of a Showgirl was my introduction to Sabrina Carpenter. I have to admit that I like Man’s Best Friend a lot more, lol
I dunno, necessity breeds innovation. Once current hardware can no longer scale with the hardware requirements, or we completely exhaust the supply of raw materials, something will come along. Crypto mining shifted to ASICs when the GPUs became no longer profitable. I saw not long ago that some crypto mining “businesses” switched to AI so it’s not entirely outside the realm of realiry.
Whether that “something” is a breakthrough in compute, (re)manufacturing, or renewable energy is anybody’s guess. At least IMO as someone who’s been watching on the sidelines for a long time.
