I love 5H but LM had so much more creative control and artistry than 5H.

 

They chose the songs and wrote most of their stuff together.

These albums encapsulated a very specific sound in pop/r&b. Danja was the main glue behind this sound, but there were a lot of interesting songwriters coming through on different albums at the time. It was interesting seeing how artists adapted when R&B was possibly at its least inspired point in the late 2000s. That dark, glitchy sound was equally influenced by chiptune and undergeround electronic music as it was by Danja's mentor Timbaland.

These three albums are interesting. All released around the same time, following up massive albums for each artist. I feel like fans were disappointed with all three when they were released. The general consensus was that Mariah and Usher were giving us more of the same, but without the massive songs of their previous eras. While this was the first time Madonna was seen as playing catch up, after being ahead of the trend for the her career up to that point.

 

All three albums had great lead singles, with terrible single choices being made later in the campaign. Though markets were changing and so was their position in the industry. All in all I feel like fans appreciate these albums more so than they did in 2008, even if they fell short of becoming fan favourites/cult classics.

:clap3:

I agree with everything! Especially when you mention the songwriters that were working on all those albums at the same time like The Clutch, Jim Beanz, The-Dream & Tricky, even Justin Timberlake, Rob Knox & Fauntleroy (The Y's), along with Johnta Austin, Bryan Michael-Cox, Hannon Lane... It was a beautiful time!

This is a good one. I never realized how similar these five albums sounded. All of them are some of my favorites ever too. Truly encapsulates that era of pop/R&B/dance to a tee. Danja (and Timbaland) really ran music for those three years :celestial5:

oh yeah, the 2006 divas

 

Nelly > fergie > gwen

 

I don't like that Gwen album aside from Early Winter and maybe 4 in the morning 

and Fergie's album is all over the place 

and Nelly slayed with loose, one of the best albums of that year

I feel like Erotica and Bedtime Stories are cousin albums. Bedtime Stories is a direct result of the Erotica backlash and both are sexual, but the former is a darker grittier way while Bedtime Stories is more soft and polished. Also this might be a reach but she’s laying in some sort of bed with almost the same pose on the album covers.
