Auburn Posted February 22, 2021 Posted February 22, 2021 I would LOVE a Sade discography rate, but I'm not sure we have an audience for it here unfortunately

I love 0304, but the pop sellout was obviously a desperate move for Jewel and it's a clear slide into irrelevance after that. Not sure what albums you'd pair it with, but presumably other big pop acts who lost the narrative at some point. Thoughts, @Ace Reject?

I’m not sure. It was not a fully formed idea. The Liz Phair suggestion is interesting, because the sellouts framing could be fun. But then I don’t know what would go with those two.

I especially like the latter, because it's even the same era as the Jewel and Liz Phair albums.
bestfiction Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) I'm in for the sellout flop albums rate I see these variants: 0304, Liz Phair, The Best Damn Thing (?), Sucker (?), Sheezus, Volta (?), Electra Heart, This Is What The Truth Feels Like, Fantasy Ride/Basic Instinct (?), Young Foolish Happy (Pixie Lott), Endlessly (Duffy) @supaspaz thoughts? prayers?

WAIT. This Is What the Truth Feels Like is a great idea! Gwen's adult pop sellout moment. I will be riding hard for "Red Flag." What if we did 0304 vs. Liz Phair vs. The Best Damn Thing vs. This Is What the Truth Feels Like, @Ace Reject?

I will give LWA an 8, nasty an 11, and the rest 10s to overcompensate. I will also overcompensate with some janet/tvr scores

I feel you about Janet/TVR - some singles are just not IT

Sanctuary Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 Alanis' Jagged Little Pill, Bjork's Post, Gwen's No Doubt's Tragic Kingdom, and Garbage's s/t debut all came out in 1995 I think we need to educate the children

Gwen doesn't belong there. @supaspaz you must remember the controversy Sheryl had when she posed for Maxim and wore bikinis in the lead up to C'mon, C'mon... only to deride Britney and Christina for doing the same thing? To go from Lilith Fair and The Globe Sessions... to Soak Up The Sun? She lost a significant chunk of her base. Sheryl/Liz/Jewel/Avril - there's the rate!

But does anyone want to listen to C'mon, C'mon? The case to be made for This Is What the Truth Feels Like is that it's when Gwen fully sanded off her remaining edges. She can never be the Cool Girl again.
