UseYourIllusion2002 Posted April 8, 2023 Posted April 8, 2023 Does Erotica count, definitely changed Madonna's career if it does.
supertiffany Posted April 8, 2023 Posted April 8, 2023 changed Kelly's career from the typical label muse to anti-popstar that rebelled against biggest mogul!
Holiest Dreams Posted April 8, 2023 Posted April 8, 2023 Reputation really isn’t a “dark themed album” It just has a more heavy electropop sound, black and white theme, and I guess LWYMMD. But really… it’s just not that. If anything folklore is what fits the bill. It goes infinitely deeper and ‘darker’ subject wise or even sound wise (nothing on reputation is haunting in the way Epiphany is) and the album photoshoot gives very Midsommar horror in the day vibes. But I’m not sure if it’s what you’d call a dark album either, so.

Or you need to expand your horizons. Either way, you’re opinion is sad. Which must mean you’re sad. And if you’re sad doesn’t mean you have to be mean. So be kind. And simmer down. Thanks.

The Next Day Posted April 8, 2023 Posted April 8, 2023 (edited) 1 member left, 1 almost died from an overdose, 1 suffered from alcoholism and 1 from depression. It's a miracle the band survived. David Bowie was at his lowest: fat, nasty and addicted to cocaine. Career in shambles. He came on this ***** mad as hell! Sinatra broke up with the love of his life and recorded the first concept album in history as a rebound. Inspired by Bowie's Low and substance abuse, Trent Reznor recorded the definitive soundtrack of depression. A must-listen for every alt-pop girl. Cynical. Nihilistic. The foundation of electronic music. Edited April 8, 2023 by The Next Day

JoeAg Posted April 9, 2023 Posted April 9, 2023 1 hour ago, Raptus said: Not with songs like Suspended In Gaffa, Sat In Your Lap, There Goes A Tenner the three upbeat songs on the album, and two of them are super existential I will give you There Goes a Tenner, it's definitely an outlier and a bit lighthearted. but she REALLY tapped into some solipsistic and epistemological stuff elsewhere. songs like All the Love, Leave It Open, and Get Out of My House are all super intense. Houdini reckons with death too, in an unusual but still very effective way. add all of those lyrics to the actual sonic landscape and you get a markedly dark album, particularly compared to everything that preceded it
