Mid-table for me in terms of her albums! Sorry for breaking the unique 11s trend :kink: but 'Love Me Harder' was my Ari favourite for a good 4 years :wub:

So many 7/10s! :lol:

Overall I think this is my least favourite Ariana album tbh.

 

Problem and Break Free haven’t aged well with me and a lot of the tracks on this are just passable / average.

 

Her debut was stronger in terms of it feeling like an album too rather than a collection of singles.

 

But the three albums what followed this have also been better as a whole than what this was too.

 

Not a bad album just basic by her standards.

What an album, definitely one of her best.

Random observation - 'You Don't Know Me' doesn't seem to have any particularly big fans so far.

 

I must admit that the bonus tracks were fairly inessential for this album. The 'Dangerous Woman' ones were a lot better!

Yeh 'You Don't Know Me' is very unessential, I don't like the contrast between that really jarring instrumental and her Christmas carol vocal and then that cheesy guitar keeps coming in, the track is a bit of mess. Weirdly(?), I could totally see it being on 'sweetener'. :thinking:

Noticing quite a lot of consistency in these rankings, got a feeling these results are going to be quite streamlined and sensical (...not even a word but I like it).

 

Any more entries lovelies?

Yesss more rates over the weekend please if you guys can spare the time! We had 30 entrants for the 'thank u, sweet' rate and that was double the effort :lol:
