The vocoder section of that song ALONE is arguably better than 80% of C2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Get Together is very overrated as well. Eh, Jump is a little meandering for my taste. Good production, but the song feels like it goes nowhere. I initially thought GT was overrated, but I honestly think the melody and production are sleeker than HU. I think HU being at the top of the record genuinely makes me struggle to press play on the album to listen all the way through because it’s been played to death lol.

I can see that and also agree that GGG is better than Hung Up but I still enjoy it and think it is good, I don't really agree that Jump goes nowhere and the bridge and breakdown are immaculate as well. Also Hung Up not being your fav because of it being overplayed is more subjective than an actual criticism.

bowlsofbrett 611 Posted yesterday at 03:32 PM Share Posted yesterday at 03:32 PM Confessions I may have “Hung Up”, “Sorry”, and “Get Together”, but Confessions II feels much deeper in its storytelling. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
princedeeblebleble 3,534 Posted yesterday at 04:04 PM Share Posted yesterday at 04:04 PM C2, makes me feel a lot more emotions and the production is much more varied. It might not have big radio hits, but it does have some insane bangers that make u feel all the feels. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFrenchGuy 5,572 Posted yesterday at 05:37 PM Share Posted yesterday at 05:37 PM C2 is a much more mature record. The storytelling is much better and it's lows are nowhere near the lows of C1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, yeah, ofc it is lol. I already said that I think HU uses both the sample and interpolation as a crutch and that, while good, it’s overrated.

I know she’s experimenting often, but this time it’s actually really successful and cohesive I'm so confused as to how you think it's experimental, especially based on her past material Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Progressive + outsider house, trance, jungle + garage influence, new age + ambient pop, dream pop, eurodance, 80s synthpop, trip hop, 90s electro R&B, jazz + classical influence, nu disco, reggaeton, Latin pop, 90s techno, deconstructed techno/club all on one record?

C’mon now On top of that, the narrative woven through the spoken-word passages along with the album's concept as a collection of snapshots from her youth to the present, makes it a concept album in its own right. Experimental doesn't have to mean groundbreaking. It means having a thesis, a raison d'être beyond just being a pop record. To me, it's hard to argue that it isn't experimental 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
