"Party Queen," and future no-single albums, won't suffer from that.
But Party Queen is probably her worst received album yet. IMO it's kinda mess, it starts with three arguable "Party" songs and then descends into two typical Guilty/Secret/RnRc filler and then three great rocky tracks (Reminds me, Return Road and Tell me Why). And then there's two baffling show numbers, a interlude and then ends on a Disney ballad. The album feels like it's made up of songs from not just four different albums but four different artists.
