Beyonnaise Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 (edited) It's a lot better than Sawayama. That was SO overrated by critics. That score is laughable honestly. If a pop girl who isn't taken as seriously and didn't have an "indie" aesthetic veneer, like Madison Beer or Sabrina Carpenter, had released the same album it wouldn't have crossed 65. Also I love Kesha but High Road was complete garbage and has the worst mixing I've ever heard, that score is way overinflated too.

Pink Whitney Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Plastic Hearts being that low on the list is abysmal it feels like critics critique Miley’s personal life instead of the quality of the music itself OT: Yes the album aged like milk literally erased it from my mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantedyoutogrow Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 atleast 16 of the mentioned albums are worse than it so no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wastedpotential Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 That list is messy and not accurate, EXCEPT for putting POSitions dead last. A tragic album and truly one of the weakest musical offerings I've ever tried to get through from an A-list pop girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wrap my head around the fact that someone as vocally gifted as Ariana releases such a bland music, not saying she should be singing ballads like Adele but something out of the box or that makes her voice shine more. While I don't agree with positions being bad even in the slightest, I think you made a point with her doing something more outside the box and using her voice a lot more, I've been dying for a heartfelt, emotional power ballad a la My All or I Have Nothing from her, since she's gifted and capable of doing that. Maybe it won't be as strong as something from Whitney or Mariah, but she can definitely give it a try. Songs like Off The Table or My Everything are an indicator that she can indeed successfully record those type of songs, just give it a little bit more emotion to make it "catchy" and single worthy.

Sazare Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Rare, Chromatica, Punisher, What’s Your Pleasure, and what little of folklore that I was able to force myself to listen to are all worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WYP being only 72 is a ******* disaster btw. Heaven & Hell is better than over half of that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

genio Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 I think positions would also have been way better received by the pop community if it was cut shorter, maybe to 10 tracks and a different, more dreamy cover (I still love the OG though): tracklist 1. someone like u (intro) 2. motive (feat. Doja Cat) 3. test drive 4. 34+35 5. worst behavior 6. just like magic 7. positions 8. safety net 9. off the table 10. pov This way it would also have a theme and follow the circle of a relationship/love life concept. Meeting, falling in love and having fun, questioning the relationship and the closing turning into a happy ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rihanna’s music is anything but those adjectives, but you already knew that. Either way, you should be the last person speaking on anyone’s music when your fav has been making the same song since 2006. That’s the point. Stick to pretending her music is good and stop speaking on people who are actually talented Rihanna's music is made by other peoplr which means its uninspired What a dumb comment to make when your fave dont even bother to make her own music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selegend Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 (edited) the audacity some of u have to trash Rare when we know must of u are only doing so cuz it didn't have an era and Selena was with 0% energy and yep kinda boring that time... doesn't change the fact that "Souvenir", "Lose You To Love Me", "Feel Me" and "Vulnerable" alone are better than full albums listed on the OP it's a pretty good pop album. Positions aged well and aged poorly for me at the same time lmao i was BOPPING to it like 6 months after it's release so i got a "aged like wine" felling, cuz i liked it way more than first listen but now i never listen to it anymore, even Sweetener has more daily streams from me Safety Net and Pov tho, flawless tracks.
