Stafani Versace 942 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I gave it a relisten, mostly because I wanted to give her streams since I listened to the l**k. R&B is not really my vibe, so I understand why I donât love it. It isnât bad, just not for me. I saved 7 songs from my first listen, though, which is more than I was expecting. My hair grew on me. I thought it was cute first listen, but itâs actually a bop fr. pov & love language are top 2 for me. However, I stand by Shut Up being the worst song sheâs ever released. I feel like it killed the whole vibe for me on my first listen, which is why I said it was bad on the other thread. I skipped it this time and I enjoyed it slightly more as a whole. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrinceOfTheStorm 5,904 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 As of first listen: - Pretty samey, forgetting a lot of songs like shut up, nasty and west side even after just one listen. A lot of them are underwhelming to be completely fair. - I'm guessing by some of the lyrics she talks about lockdown and the pandemic, but I feel she doesn't do it as strong as someone like Charli XCX's "how i'm feeling now" - A lot of the magic is hidden in specific songs: the collabs are all great! I do not understand why motive or safety net wasn't the lead single like god damn they are sooooo good. And shout outs to the unexpected disco funk, love language. Best solo track on the album. The collab with The Weeknd is just so nice, a lot of time to shine. - positions is one of the best songs on the album and I found it underwhelming on first listen, but better after a few listens. Wonder if the other songs I didn't like will grow on me. - Even when I like R&B this felt just a tad underwhelming. Favorite Tracks: motive, just like magic, off the table, safety net, love language, positions Least Favorite Tracks: shut up, 34+35, six thirty, nasty, west side, obvious If I had to give a score, probably a 6 at least and 7 at most. signing out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People wonât put this record anywhere near the top of the list, mark my words. This isnât a 10/10. no one said it was a 10/10. the fact is for me at least i canât listen to her first 2 albums or sweetener all the way through. not even once. this one i can. so automatically this is a top 3 album for me. this isnât even a pop album, not really, so your first point is irrelevant.

wook 721 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I get why some people can say that every song sounds the same but after a few listens you really can see the magic in almost every song and they really donât sound the same. The sound of the album is far from pop but I think how the album is great. It is very Ariana and I am happy about it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumeet 456 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Ewwwwww. It's so boring. Shut up is really a strong word but she made it sound boring. Position is the only good song. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Gaga is no longer a Queen of Pop because she explored different genres throughout her career. And Madonna too. 10 minutes ago, Chromatography said: no one said it was a 10/10. the fact is for me at least i canât listen to her first 2 albums or sweetener all the way through. not even once. this one i can. so automatically this is a top 3 album for me. Good for you! I think Iâm starting to get an idea for why a lot of people who liked her past work donât like it and why casual fans are responding to this one. personally, I think Dangerous Woman and Sweetener are her best albums so clearly our tastes differ and before someone barges in with the tired and overused ânot SuRprIzEd GaGAdAiLy wOuLd HaTE aNyThiNG tHAts NoT DaRK pOpâ response, R&B is probably the genre I listen to more on average than pop music Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
