so i love RO and i really like es, for me, es has lower lows than RO but also higher highs.

I voted for Radical Optimism. Both are not very strong, however Ariana's album sounds like the same song over and over again in a slightly different mood.

I prefer RO, but ES is objectively a better project.

 

Dua clears the singles and the album cover though.

bye, yes, and?, we can't be friends, the boy is mine, and eternal sunshine sound the same sonically to you?

went ariana for the album but dua for the others - yes, and really isn't that good and dua's singles are all good to great, the sleeve is terrific too (shark playing the part of atrl)

My best of 2024 is gonna be a mess trying to pick which of these solid 4/5 albums is better.

yes

ES is the better album by far. I wasn't here for Dua's singles from RO, nothing stood out like FN singles did. WCBF alone clears. Dua has the better album cover, i'll give her that. 

ES winning the most important one iktr

These albums are of the exact same quality. HELP.

I would have stanned the ES harder if she released title track / Supernatural / Boy is Mine as singles

Eternal Sunshine clears easily, great album

Radical Optimism is fine, I had high hopes but it's a bit flavorless, although the singles are far better

 

Both cover arts are among the worst of recent memory tho

there you go!

Fine. After streaming eternal sunshine for the first time in a few weeks, it is still Album of The Year (so far).

Radical Optimism does not have a song of the quality of we can't be friends, the boy is mine, or eternal sunshine.

Taylor is never getting album of the year on my list (unless reputa TV vault tracks are CUMMING THIS YEAR, PLEASE LORD ALMIGHTY PLEASE, she cares more about Grammy voters so whatever.

Better album overall: eternal sunshine

Better singles: Radical Optimism
Better album cover: Radical Optimism

I came in so confident Ari would take it  

 

I only put her down for best album overrall 

 

poor single choices and poor album cover, Dua edged her out, but that's the definition of gowns, beautiful gowns, tho. 

RO for every song
