!!!! EASILY. I said TEN.

I think she was trying to overcompensate for the lack of standout tracks

And the 5 year album gap

Did y'all have immediate standout tracks from Ctrl tho? I don't remember them popping out for me until maybe 10 listens later..


The definition

Babyface did his thing on 'Snooze'.....best song off the album

Sovereign.

The first half of the album is solid as hell. I think her label might have been ambitious by making her release a 23-track album because they know she likes to take her time based off her recent interview with Hot 97 it was apparent that she was resistant to releasing the album.

The 23-track LP should land at #1 on this week's HITS Top 50; after one full day of sales and streams, we're projecting a first-week total in the 275-300k range. First-day streams approached 100m in the U.S., with over 350m streams projected by week's end. This sets SOS up to be the sixth- or seventh-biggest debut of 2022.

Some artists that are popular are releasing longer albums now cause it helps with streaming numbers. Thats one of the reasons Chris Brown's 40+ track albums be going platinum in no time. Lots of tracks, short songs.

I love Kill Bill. Definitely my favorite track on this album! Nobody Gets Me and Open Arms are good songs too. Travis Scott wasn't needed though (he kinda ruins the mood with his disgusting autotuned vocal).
Loved the way they sampled Björk's Hidden Place on Forgiveless. :nogrammynoneck:

But honestly, this album could have been reduced to an EP. :dead: There are so many fillers. But maybe they will grow on me.

Haven't listened since it came :dead:  out. I may try again today

Seek & Destroy is kind of knocking me around

Seeing her stomp Bey's streaming numbers gives me so much life, but it's a shame she did so with such an unmemorable and uninspired playlist album

Barbie Dangerous

Ctrl had to grow on me after several listens but I am enjoying SOS a lot faster. Yes it could've been shorter but it's all good music and I'm not mad it it since she'a now "retired."

But still sold less. So, couldn't have given you TOO much life...
