The second part of Teddy’s therapy session is not quite as good as the first. The previous album had some hits on it that weren’t too bad, which is something this album lacks. It’s basically the same quality for me as the first minus songs like Lose Control that elevate the first for me.
There are some pretty decent songs on here, but the majority of the project is uninteresting. Lose Control is extremely overplayed, especially on the radio, but it doesn’t particularly bother me. Other than that, there just isn’t much to remark on.
This isn’t really that special to me. It was mostly fine, but it was just kind of basic. Coco does your typical R&B singing and it’s fine. The production is fine. The lyrics are fine. This is just fine. Overall, I left the project with an overall feeling of meh.
Straight off of her hit song with Sam Smith, Kim Petras decides to release her studio album. Unfortunately she would not get even close to the level of attention with this release, even with a Grammy win now under her belt. The quality of this record almost surely played a part in that. This is just so bland and basic. She doesn’t even sound like she wanted to be in the studio making this. It’s also all over the place. There is no vision for this album, which becomes even more clear ... read more
Doesn’t quite hit the same highs as Emotions for me, but it is consistently great. One of the best vocalists of all time continues to impress with her vocals. The production is fine, but it suits her nice. Overall, a great project.
So forgettable. This is and Talk That Talk occupy the same spot in my brain. I couldn’t tell you which songs were on which other than the handful of actually noteworthy songs, like Diamonds. Everything I said about her last album apply here.
Here we go again, back to the slop fest. There is a few hits here that are good, but they are drowned out by slop. This is literally what happens every time to this lady. Every time. How does she only learn to not do this after seven tries (excluding Loud because she actually remembered to include more good songs than bad ones that time). I couldn’t be less interested in this project in full. It is just so boring and would have a way lower score if songs like Where Have You Been ... read more
Finally, a good Rihanna album. She has finally cut the track list down to just 11 songs this time and most of them are good. Love the way you lie part two is strange to me, but whatever. Some of Rihanna’s best songs are on here and most importantly aren’t drowned out by an overwhelming number of slop songs. Good job Rihanna.
Well at least she attempted a concept this time. This is just tired. She’s trying to be dark, but it just doesn’t work when the music isn’t hitting. There is a more consistent quality in this album, which is good, but it could still be much better. The only song I truly enjoyed was Rude Boy, and even that’s pushing it. Just more filler to me.
I fear this gets overrated because of the singles that are on here. This album is packed with hit singles, but as a complete project is messy. It would be one thing if I really liked the singles, but I dont. If I liked them a bit more the rest of this would be easier to look over for me, but I just can’t understand the love for Umbrella. I don’t like that song. Don’t Stop the Music, Breakin’ Dishes, and Shut Up and Drive are pretty fine, but they aren’t enough to ... read more
A slight improvement from her debut. At least this time there were like three good songs instead of just the one. Unfortunately, a majority of this is just filler. I find it hard to believe that this is a considered project that isn’t just made to sell copies by making great singles that get really popular and attaching them as quickly as possible to a mediocre, half-baked album to sell at full price. This is only the beginning of one of the biggest single-first artists of all time.
A pretty boring start to Rihanna’s career. There is nothing interesting here outside of Pon de Replay. Almost no personality is here, which is a problem that plagues nearly all of Rihanna’s work. Not very enjoyable to try and get through.
Banger after banger. The production is top notch. It gets slightly repetitive for me sometimes, but that’s the style so it’s whatever. Other than that, an undeniable album.
This isn’t complete Disney slop, but it’s close. Miley is trying to be edgy, but there’s nothing edgy going on other than Miley saying she’s edgy. She is telling us she is edgy rather than showing us her actually being edgy. There is a reason this is not seen as the shift in style for Miley Cyrus, like Bangerz is. It is because, even though it does have moments of mediocrity and cringe, Bangerz was actually provocative. This is mostly boring ballad teen-pop. It does have ... read more
I expected worse. The production as stale and I felt like I was listening to different versions of the same song for the most part. There isn’t anything lyrically interesting to balance out the dull production either. There are fine moments, however, that save the project from being fully bad. I wouldn’t describe this as an unpleasant listen, just one that is so unremarkable that there is no point in listening again.
While the album does increase in quality in the second half, I felt like the album was way too watered down. It didn’t take enough risks to be great to me. It had good moments and was well produced, but was just kind of boring.
I don’t know why I don’t care for most of The Weeknd’s albums, I just don’t. This could change after I listen to his next few albums, but I think my opinion of his music generally won’t change. The hits on this album just weren’t hitting. I know some of his hits on his albums I have yet to listen to and they just clear this album’s hits by so much for me. I just don’t like I Can’t Feel My Face or The Hills. They just aren’t for me I ... read more
Definitely much better than Harry’s House. There weren’t as many boring moments and the production was generally more interesting. I’m not really annoyed by Watermelon Sugar as much as some other people, so that didn’t really bring it down for me. I do think there could’ve been more moments that lived up to the quality of songs like Adore You, but, overall, it was fine.
This is just so unremarkable. There isn’t much that is offensively bad about it, but there isn’t much that stands out as good either. I can’t believe that this beat Renaissance. It is inferior in every way, but I digress. The production is rather boring and the songwriting isn’t great. There honestly isn’t much to say because it doesn’t give you much to talk about. It’s just there. So boring.
