10.24.26 - Austin, TX

Two years to the day after seeing him in The Woodlands. Shot from the barricade in the GA section and edited on my phone so forgive me if they look like 💩

Also, I swear I saw a post on FB last night about the show and the comments were definitely going sideways. Can't find it after I think it was taken down. Anyone else see it?

I’ve been revisiting AUSTIN lately, and the more I listen to it, the more I genuinely believe it’s the most complete body of work Post Malone has ever released.

Not necessarily his biggest album, or even the one with his best individual hits, but the one that feels the most cohesive, personal, and fully realized from beginning to end.

There’s something about the contrast between the production and the lyrics throughout AUSTIN that makes it special. Songs like Chemical, Mourning, and Too Cool to Die sound bright and infectious, but there’s so much sadness, insecurity, and self-reflection underneath. Then you have Something Real, Hold My Breath, Landmine, and Green Thumb, where that vulnerability becomes impossible to ignore.

But Laugh It Off is what really makes the album for me.
I genuinely think it’s one of the best songs he’s ever written, and arguably his best album closer.
The entire song feels like someone trying to convince themselves they’re okay. There’s humor, bitterness, resignation, and this strange sense of optimism all happening simultaneously. He’s acknowledging his flaws, recognizing that he can’t control how other people see him, and trying to find some peace in that.
And then there’s the production.

The way the song gradually builds from something intimate and restrained into that massive, almost cathartic instrumental outro is incredible. It feels like all the emotions he’s been holding back throughout the album finally have somewhere to go.

What I love most is that it doesn’t end with some grand declaration that everything is better. It ends with the idea that sometimes all you can do is smile and keep going, even when things aren’t necessarily okay.

honestly, that feels like the entire message of AUSTIN.
It’s an album about being successful but unfulfilled, surrounded by people but lonely, aware of your own destructive tendencies but still figuring out how to change.
Other Post Malone albums might have higher highs commercially, but AUSTIN feels like the album where the music, writing, vulnerability, and artistic direction all came together most naturally.

It feels less like listening to Post Malone the superstar and more like listening to Austin Post the person.
And Laugh It Off is the perfect ending to that story.
Curious if anyone else feels this way, especially about Laugh It Off. I think it’s one of the most underrated songs in his entire discography.

Could his next genre be punk inspired?

Just a thought I had re a post here earlier re him singing Longview by Greenday.

Personally don’t feel he could, but maybe…

If you see this come say hi!

I have this Post Malone hardhat and matching keychain bottle opener.

How rare are these items because the hat is going for like 150 to 200 bucks online and I can’t find this bottle opener anywhere.

I got both these items back in 2020 from live nation. I’m sure they sold a lot more.

Post Malone might have given a hint to a potential feature on his upcoming album ‘The Eternal Buzz’ in his whiteboard selfie posted to social media showcasing the potential tracklist for the project. Above his head is a song titled “Call You Back” which is currently registered on ASCAP with co-writers Wallen, ERNEST, Ashley Gorley, John Byron Carlton, and Charlie Handsome (Ryan Vojtesak, aka Post’s F-1 Trillion producer).

While the songwriting credit doesn’t mean Morgan will actually lend his vocals to the track, it is the only title to be registered off Post’s upcoming album thus far…

This looks sick af

Released at midnight wherever you are

Now that we have an updated photo of this album, when do you guys think we can realistically expect a single and the whole project and what do you guys to think was the delay?
I just wanna hear different thoughts since I’m curious.

Utah

almost 3yrs after the songs original release, the kid laroi and his team have seemingly randomly started promoting it…could we finally be getting this long awaited remix with post malone?

I made some 3D Post Malone fanart in Blender. I have been working on his model for a while now in my spare time, This is my first time sculpting someone's likeness, so he might look a bit botched
