First and Second listen.
Missing the last three tracks on the second listen.
--20240902--
Third listen.
I wasn't sure about the lyrics. Apparently it's "I don't care that you're a stoner" ("Red Wine Supernova")

Songs in bold are the bonus tracks on the deluxe edition.
4: "HOT TO GO!";
3: "Red Wine Supernova";
2: "Pink Pony Club"; "Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl";
1: "After Midnight"; "Casual"; "My Kink Is Karma";
0: "Femininomenon"; "Coffee"; "Picture You"; "Kaleidoscope"; "Naked In Manhattan"; "California"; "Guilty Pleasure";

Summary:
Aside from "HOT TO GO!" and "Red Wine Supernova", which I like for their catchy beat and lyrics, I wasn't really feeling the album as a whole. With that being said, I could imagine the album being well liked by those in an emotional state which would better relate to the themes of the album.

Overall Rating: 3.0/5
Favorite Song: "HOT TO GO!"
