I guess I should preface this review by saying that I completely skipped over Taylor's last album Evermore. I can attribute a lot of that to the fact that unfortunately, I found the sister album that preceded it "folklore" to be mediocre at best.

I respect the influence this album has, and there are some undeniably great songs on this album. But for what it is, I just really fail to see why this is considered one of the best albums of all time. It seems kinda dated, even for its time, and there are some really banal moments that really shouldn't crop up on such a cult-like album. Still liked this a fair bit nonetheless.

My initial intro to Badu was with her most recent album, which I was pretty indifferent towards. This by comparison feels a lot more tasteful and well put together, though I do still have my reservations when it comes to the vocals.
Standout: 4 Leaf clover
Favs: Certainly, Other side of the game, Appletree, Drama
Least fav: Afro
