Best Nothern Star, worst Stages.

 

Tbh This Time is an utter damp squib too. Beautiful Intentions has aged like Milk.

 

The sea and VOM combined would be 1 great album if you dropped the worst 5 tracks off each.

Is it recorded in a studio ?

It is a covers album not created in a studio. It is a concept album.

 

Madonna for example does not include her gh , her remix album or her soundtracks as ‘her albums’ .

A covers album: covers of songs recorded in a studio and released as an album - therefore it's a studio album. That's all there is to it! It doesn't matter about the creation (i.e. writing) or concept. The fact that it comprises of covers of songs from musicals doesn't detract from that definition.

 

Emma's My Happy Place is still a studio album despite the fact that 80% of it is covers! Cher's Dancing Queen is her 26th studio album. Google "Cher" "26th studio album" and you'll get a lot of articles/reviews/blogs about Dancing Queen.

 

Greatest Hits & Remix albums count as compilations, soundtracks are soundtracks.

 

None of this is my opinion on how to define albums, these are standard definitions regarding how they are classified.

Basically this.

Jay's spot on, of course covers albums count! The only difference is perhaps a footnote saying "covers album" if you want. While I regard Believe as Justin Bieber's second proper studio album, Under the Mistletoe is undoubtedly his actual second studio album despite being a Christmas album.

I think I was tired earlier, I meant to say... Positively Somewhere is my favourite album track! :lol: I do like Lose Myself in You though!

 

 

Positively somewhere :wub: I do really like Lose myself in you though, alot of her fans hate that one :lol:

Let's love from reason is my fave mel c track of all her solo material.

Northern Star and Stages the big winner and loser in the poll.

 

So a musical theatre inspired album is different from a soundtrack ?

 

Gh hits , remix albums , soundtracks are also made in studios.

 

You can’t compare stages with her other albums.

Greatest Hits and Remix albums are not recorded in a studio though. They are compilations albums devised of tracks previously recorded and put onto an album, hence not a 'studio album.' A musical theatre's album is recorded in a studio hence is a studio album.

Yes. Stages is not the soundtrack to anything, so therefore it is different to a soundtrack album.

 

Gh hits , remix albums , soundtracks are also made in studios.

GHs and remix albums are generally compiled from stuff that already exists. That's why they're not the same as studio albums, which refers to new material recorded in the studio.

It's a different premise but it's nevertheless her sixth studio album regardless, so when talking about Melanie C studio albums, it's essential to be included.

Totally off topic but... I've never been a massive fan of Harry Styles looks wise but that picture of him looks WOW! :heart:

Stages is not a studio album.

 

 

Stages is not a studio album.

 

Technically it is. It is a studio album of never before released cover songs.

Stages is not a studio album.

Melanie C physically entered a recording studio. She sang into a microphone in a studio. Her vocals were recorded in a studio. Production work occurred in a studio. 12 songs were selected and were formed into an album. Her sixth.

 

Stages is a studio album!

Ok

 

Well it is a studio album but all albums are sung in a microphone in a studio.

 

However it shouldn’t feature in this type of poll . I love the album btw !!

Be far more Interesting result of ‘her’ albums were featured . She doesn’t even count it in her total most of the time .

You're ignoring the point though - it's one thing to say it shouldn't be compared to her albums of original material, it's another to say it isn't a studio album.

Exactly.

 

And also, I don't really consider 'Stages' one of her 'main albums' tbh. But it does count as her 6th studio album!

All albums are studio album based on they are made in a recording studio

Well no, Greatest hits, remix albums aren't studio albums as these sorts of releases can often be released without any input from the actual artist.

 

Studio album means a collection of new (whether they are covers or brand new songs) released by said artist with the artist having actual involvement in the making of it by going into the studio to record them.

 

Just because Stages is a pile of shite doesn't stop it being Melanie c's 6th studio album.
