alexaalto Posted September 22 Posted September 22 (edited) Take Me Down is amazing track but runs a bit short like most of my favorite tracks on the album her vocal production is great on that, soft and "natural" sounding. she sings in a good range on that sounding heavenly and calm without too much gimmicks. same goes with Honesty. Showstopper is in my top three also, some parts are sang a bit too nasally tho. Crown would be amazing solo track, I like how she sings high register on it without going too nasal! i love her parts on the song a lot. on some of the tracks the vocal production sounds compressed/overly produced to me especially on Ready For Myself, Fantasy. Some tracks would be more appealing to me if she didn't use so much of those gimmicks and vocal productions I know some enjoy it but maybe for me there is too many genres on the album, so on shuffle it throws me a bit of track when there comes Honesty-Untitled-Save Your Breath-Corazón-Take me down etc. Because there is so many genres, there isn't as much as same atmospheric tracks iykwim. Personally I would've replaced some of the piano tracks productions with the other genres the album has. But if the deluxe is coming as she says, I think that will pull the album more together for me. overall it is good album with only 3-ish skip tracks and 9-ish useful tracks despite giving "a lot" of criticism based on my own likings! can't wait for the deluxe current ranking loosely after a few days of listening amazing: -Take Me Down -Honesty great: -Showstopper -Love Bites good: -Crown -Corazón -Ready For Myself -Fantasy -Better Than Ever ok: -Floodgate -All Comes Back meh: -Untitled -Better For Worse skip: -Save Your Breath Edited September 22 by alexaalto

Her not even booking one televised performance for release week???????? The Honesty visualizer makes me go a little insane. I hope she is at least making a profit somewhere so she'll keep releasing things because damn it really seems like her team consists of 2 part time interns sometimes lol 1

I mean yeah she's had interviews sporadically done in the past 2 years but the album just dropped and alot of people don't even know and she deserves all the recognition that she can get 1
SchmoodRing Posted September 23 Posted September 23 My only complaint is the short ass lengths this is so ridiculous and so lazy on her part especially cause she's known for her lyricism. Bring on the deluxe and tour Nelly! 4
SupremeGoddess Posted September 23 Posted September 23 i have no complaints on this record. i'm so proud of her for putting it out and being true to her artistic vision it's nelly furtado from beginning to end. she shines in every track, she genre bends, she makes it interesting and captivating. it's full of personality and has some major career highlights and the more mid songs are still pretty solid and good i hope some tracks eventually go viral and make it the record do better numbers she should've tucked eat your man, it honestly would work halfway through the record as a palate cleanser it'd reach the 100 million stream faster too 1

OrgVisual Posted September 23 Posted September 23 Crown and Honesty are really good. But I'm not really feeling the album as a whole, it feels like they are on a different tone
Dark Miracles Posted September 23 Posted September 23 I'm obsessed with the yodeling on Take Me Down. Absolutely unhinged I love it 2

He made a similar set up to my room, so I could also record videos at his place (and it ended up being better than mine lol) This is my setup
bruninho Posted September 23 Posted September 23 Are these reviews counting for metacritic? She deserved to appear there, otherwise it feels like the critic don't even care for her =/

memo90061 Posted September 23 Posted September 23 Ahh I thought I was going to love Showstopper, and I think it's my favorite! It's missing something though.
Mocha Posted September 23 Posted September 23 (edited) this gets so good after a few listens. I love all of the upbeat tracks + better than ever and crown as a huge Hay No Igual & Lemme Get My hair down stan, I love Corazon Edited September 23 by Mocha 2

NoAngelus Posted September 24 Posted September 24 I wish I could call this decent collection of songs, but it's not even collection of songs, more like ideas and voice memos. Not only song feels like full song. I just don't understand these artists that are not gonna get the sales or streams, why chase trends then??

Absolutely unhinged I love it I was SO SHOOK when I heard this at the beginning It's really something iconic, tbh. The album is good, and I can tell it'll grow on me further. Some standouts for sure, and some low lights as well. I think a lot of the songs could have been longer. Also, the vocal production on some of these are not good. It could have been polished a little bit more. OVERALL, happy with the record and SO HAPPY for Nelly and that she was able to release this and is getting her flowers.
