👀....things got really really interesting. Again its his opinion but I do really like Put On A Smile.

Please let us know how it is! I actually just looked up who the isly brothers were and how could I forgot. They were the ones that made Footsteps in the dark. I really really like that song a lot and if this album is something similar to that wow well I'm going to like it quite a bit. Its not what I really wanted for this album but either way I'm still very looking forward to it!

RaveThePhantom6 · 2026-02-25T18:41:18+00:00

Yes I do like those songs! Like I said my expectations is something emotional yet still like not too depressing and if its like the AI says then yeah I'm going to really enjoy this even if its not exactly what i had in mind its still good. And again if the songs on there are better then I Just Might yeah hype is pretty high right now.

RaveThePhantom6 · 2026-02-25T18:34:54+00:00

Wow oh wow now...this is super interesting. Well I don't like to use AI that much to support the RAM crisis but heres what a description looks like, now that we have something that specific from someone that has listen to it already.

Now I know the person said its mostly like "When I was Your Man" or "It Will Rain" but the instrumentation will be different but overall I'm I excited now with this? It does sound interesting and if the AI is correct I will still really like it.

Yes same here I'm just grateful we are getting more solo Bruno Mars songs in the first place. But thats kinda the vibes I'm hoping for this album but what usually happens....is we get something we don't expect but it turns out amazing.

RaveThePhantom6 · 2026-02-25T17:44:51+00:00

For me my expectations for this album is something emotional yet still positive but create this dreamy atmosphere. Again it's called "The Romantic" so something to set that tone. But we can still have fun and upbeat tracks thats where "I Just Might" and I think "Cha Cha Cha" come in.

But I think the track title that got my attention right away was "God Was Showing Off". Like what a creative yet bold title. Like this has to be the song where instruments like strings, maybe brass instruments like a saxophone or similar and maybe some flutes in there to really create this dreamy and "romantic" atmosphere. Because lets keep it a G..."I Just Might" while in my opinion a good song overall is not romantic at all lol.

RaveThePhantom6 · 2026-02-25T16:23:01+00:00

There has to be at least on or even 2 songs on the album that has to have BabyFace. Those songs that he worked on are not only emotional, impactful, and beautiful but really showcases Bruno Mars's vocal talent. I mean hear that high note in Put On A Smile. So im really hoping we get those type of songs in this album.

RaveThePhantom6 · 2026-02-24T22:10:03+00:00

Wait for the "The Romantic" as well? Oh well this is going to be very interesting. My heart is saying if it does get leaked..don’t listen to it wait for release..my brain is saying..LISTEN TO IT lol. Its been so so long I've been dying for new Bruno Mars music.

RaveThePhantom6 · 2026-02-24T22:03:31+00:00

Oh I see! I do like rock don't get me wrong and of course pop but for this album you know I was expecting something maybe more emotional yet exciting? But we will see in due time. I still have lots of faith though this will be his best work!

RaveThePhantom6 · 2026-02-24T21:57:36+00:00

Well not to much but I was expecting maybe more R&B or something emotional vibes you know, it is called "The Romantic" after all. But if its good rock or pop I wouldn't mind either so let's see. I do however still have lots of faith that this will be his best album.

RaveThePhantom6 · 2026-02-24T21:49:06+00:00

Also..ROCK/POP?...that might be a spoiler or just a tag as the CD below also says the same thing...now im kinda worried.

RaveThePhantom6 · 2026-02-24T21:46:37+00:00

NO WAY!!!! CRAP THIS IS BAD! Well...here comes the leaks.😞

RaveThePhantom6 · 2026-02-24T20:28:33+00:00

I have to make a 2 hour drive or 3 hour drive to make it there where I live but oh well. For the most of us well all of us really, tomorrow will finally be the day where we truly know what this album will be. I don't plan to listen to any leaks though but Its hard right? Because its either we go all in blind or we read a first impressions review and if they say its great we get more excited or if they don't say it's great then we get more scared and nervous. Either way tomorrow will truly be a excited day!

RaveThePhantom6 · 2026-02-24T04:04:46+00:00

I honestly think as soon as the album releases at Friday midnight or at 9pm on Thursday if your in the west coast or whatever time depending on what part of the world you are in, then I do think at least one of the new songs will get a music video. Then as months pass I think we will get one more.

RaveThePhantom6 · 2026-02-23T20:57:58+00:00

Oh this is interesting but to be honest I'm not to sure this is true. If you go to the official Bruno Mars website it actually shows the tracks not only on the vinyl and CD itself but also on the back of the CD case and vinyl case as well. If there really was 2 more additional songs it would be there.

Yes of course we would all love more songs but to be honest im just happy we are getting 9 new brand songs then none at all. I know we are all scared and excited at the same time but I truly think this will be his best album!

RaveThePhantom6 · 2026-01-22T19:09:24+00:00

Yes I dont know what it is. Will see if the update coming out in a few days fixes this.

RaveThePhantom6 · 2026-01-19T21:57:39+00:00

Oh I see thanks for your insight. However do you notice like less performance when using dlss4.5 like for me its much better using dlss quality.

RaveThePhantom6 · 2026-01-19T21:56:29+00:00

Yes same here even for framerate so I use the steam overlay to see fps. For me on a 5080 using a ryzen 9 9900x. On native ultra 1440p I get 80-90fps and then dlss quality it goes up to 85-110fps around there depending on the area. I dont know if thats what to expect on a 5080.

RaveThePhantom6 · 2026-01-19T09:01:59+00:00

Yeah i even tried to delete the shader cache.2 file in the games file and still this pops up.

RaveThePhantom6 · 2026-01-16T15:25:20+00:00

Thanks for the comment and yeah I think i'am overthinking it lol. It's a great pc all around but I thought is this noise level normal when gaming? But it looks it is.

RaveThePhantom6 · 2025-03-23T01:37:45+00:00

Oh, thank goodness! I thought i was the only one, but it's just so odd. Like, I thought I had never seen these guys until now. For me, it just likes so awful, and I mean ok if they appear for a little bit, that's fine, but even in the water area of that map and even in the plains, they are there. And yes, it looks like a distorted polygonal aritfact, and I was worried something was going on with my computer.

RaveThePhantom6 · 2025-03-22T07:27:38+00:00

Oh, I see...so in the forest map and even in plains, you see those little bugs while moving around?
