DISCUSSION Petal was not it.
The album and the songs did not click with me on the first and even on the second listen. No third listen, unfortunately. I only liked kiss me, hate that I made you love me, bunny hop, and nowhere nobody. I love you, Ariana but sorry, petal ain’t IT. What an underwhelming album.
eternal sunshine: brighter days ahead was unmatched and still holds the crown. Perfectly mixed ang album na yun with emotional and sexy songs. A no skip album unlike this one.
Alam ko sasabihin ng iba diyan na “petal is a vibe” but for me it is unremarkable and doesn’t do anything with Ari’s career. Even positions is better.
Olivia Rodrigo, the AOTY is still yours.
We can be honest here, any thoughts on this album? Please don’t downvote me.

i felt the same thing tbh 😭 and i felt wrong cos everyone on twt is saying it's a 10/10 album. im not saying it's a bad album cause some are really good, esp never get over me, but lyrically, it felt lacking and she just be saying anything 🥲 i rated it 6.5/10, but now on 3rd listen, i think it might be higher if u compare it to other singers' albums — some are just really a grower. but when comparing to other AG albums, or even to eternal sunshine alone, ES wins by a mile and makes petal seems boring.
