I’m happy to see ggd loving Billie now as opposed to a few years ago, I feel like a proud dad 😭😭

I was in the TRENCHES a few years ago. I even got banned for getting in fights with people who were hating on her

Also I think it’s worth noting that Billie is hitting these numbers with some WEIIIIIIIRD music

like Taylor has a very approachable sound & Beyoncé’s release was more pop/country which is generally popular rn (in the US at least)

So her hitting those numbers while doing whatever she wants musically is super awesome 

billie’s music is not weird, it’s still pop. maybe not “grocery store” pop like swift but nonetheless still easily digestible to the average listener

The album is very good, so it’s deserved!

idgaf 

but this album is good

after 4 listens it beats my aoty deeper well 

OMG Deeper Well truthers UNITE! 

The experimental nature of Billie's really knocks any contenders out of the way. Even surpassing my other fav Allie X "Girl With No Face"

ICONIC not many know about this obscure scene!

So I've listened to all of the "AOTY contenders"

Ari, Taylor, Bey and Billie

I'm a casual Ari fan but the album just felt like more of the same, nothing new nothing change same ol, although WCBF is THE song omg.

Taylor I basically hate-listened to because I don't like to give opinions without actually engaging with the art. It was a snooze fest where all the tracks run together in my mind with only a handful of memorable choruses, if that. 

Beyonce's, as a long time fan (like were talking 97,98 Destiny's Child days) was disappointing not because it was bad. It's actually amazing vocally, production, etc. But even though I grew up in the south, I just don't vibe too much with that type of country and idk it didn't HIT ME HARD AND SOFT like Renaissance did ...

Billie's album, granted I have loved her ever since I heard @BELLYACHE on a random Spotify playlist, shook me! She really said I'm going to serve vocals, production, innovative song structure, story, concept, etc...just such a beautiful work! AND the fact that it's literally just two people is enough to give them the Grammy imo

We should collectively pretend that the first two do not exist tbh 

 

actually we can add eternal sunshine there too, like, it did absolutely nothing 

Why is everyone in here such a hater lately these are all good albums. Eternal Sunshine is EASILY one of Ari’s best and received critical acclaim.

And we hope she does release another one. Regardless, she is peaking with 10 songs and no double album on release night.

I was kinda hating on Eternal Sunshine just for the sake of it 

the other two deserve it even tho I listen to some tracks from TTPD
