Tension > Madame Theatre X

The irony considering one is about to embark on a sell out world tour, whereas the other one will be performing in a venue with a smaller seeting capacity than M did with MX.

 

[TheGreatestX]

The one that actually has a top 10 hit

Tension really is not that good, not close to the other two 

 

Caution is the best.

Madame X’s highs > Tension > Caution (half good and half boring formulaic) > Madame X’s lows

[BlackoutZone]

Caution is the best by a landslide 

[youresotoxic]

Caution CLEARS... 

like cmon now 

 

[ArtForFreedom]

They're all so different though 

[mokitsu]

Caution > Tension > MX

[Maxxxine]

Tension and Caution are actually listenable and close to Magnum Opus contenders. Madam L is… whatever that was

[Gottasadae]

Madame X is more artistic and experimental project, the only downside is probably excessive robotic autotune in many songs 

Tension is pure pop joy without any pretension on something 

Caution is just forgotten as it is  

[ChrisTheLoner]

Tension and Caution are both amazing 

 

I only use a few songs from Madame X but it still has some gems on it 

[Unusualyou]

Madame X is more ambitious and experimental sound, the problem is the excessive autotune, Caution is how a modern R&B album should sound. Tension is good but disposable and has nothing of the uniqueness that made Kyle a star.

 

Madame X > Caution >>>>> Tension

Tension > Caution > Madame X.

 

Tension exudes confidence, kitsch, and fun.

 

Caution isn't as tight as Tension, but it's still a very good effort from Mariah. It's youthful without being cloying, and it's a solid listen.

 

Madame X is ambitious and has some good ideas (Future, Crave, Medellín, Crazy) but I have no clue what Madonna was trying to do with that record. The production is shamefully bad.

Caution > Tension >>>>>>>> Madame X

[Body Talk]

Shakira and Mary J Blige are also three decades in and could be in this convo

 

Caution wins

[suburbannature]

I mean, it's obviously Caution. Make this thread again in two years when Tension isn't fresh

 

Caution's alt-R&B inspired tracks alone clear.

[CityPop]

Caution clears both albums and it has one of Mariah's best songs ever, 8th Grade:
 

 

[B-Luke]

Caution > Tension > Madame X

[Auburn]

Caution is the only correct answer even with recency bias

[bestfiction]

Madame X is an avant garde Yoko Ono-esque piece of art
