"Janelle Monae - The Electric Lady"

                I like good music, not an endless display of aimless genre-hopping
Sep 03rd 2013
15
                There's really not that much genre hopping on this one

51
                dont matter what an artists aim was if it sounds aimless to the listener
Sep 05th 2013
69
                It sounded very focused to me, with plenty of standout individual
Sep 07th 2013
94
                I think the interludes make it fun and entertaining.
Sep 07th 2013
93
                     i feel like the whole first third of the album was tacked on
Sep 07th 2013
95
                          Well the DJ says "Love, not war" because the one droid calls in
Sep 07th 2013
97
                               Nah he calls for folks to shake their ass. Shoulda gone into

Sep 03rd 2013

           It's an almost decade old "concept" horse being beaten to glue
Sep 03rd 2013

Better than ArchAndroid. (edit: very frontloaded)
Sep 03rd 2013
12
You're smokin' crack.
Sep 03rd 2013
14
Electric Lady is an Indie debut compared to ArchAndroid's cinematic feat...
Sep 05th 2013
56
Are the Target exclusives worth the purchase?
Sep 03rd 2013
18
Victory is great but everything else is trash.
Sep 03rd 2013
19
Co-sign on the Lauryn comparison but not on the rest being trash
Sep 03rd 2013

Just want to say for the record I adored Arch.

I like the album a lot. Also, a lot of the critiques here are weird.
Sep 04th 2013
48
That's why I can't take folks reviews serious at all here...
Sep 05th 2013
57
      Yup
Sep 05th 2013
66
After my initial listen.... it comes across as flat
Sep 04th 2013
49
FLAT is the word
Sep 05th 2013
68
This is a "Black folks" album
Sep 04th 2013
50
this grew on me quickly
Sep 05th 2013
54
it's the lack of personality in her vocals
Sep 05th 2013
61
i can see that
Sep 05th 2013
64
that's defnitely an issue over the course of her whole career
Sep 05th 2013
70
its funny though
Sep 05th 2013
71
figured it out... it's a lack of dynamics coupled with limited range
Oct 06th 2013
182
good ass album i enjoyed it
Sep 05th 2013
62
I also noticed that she added 3 circles to the album cover
Sep 05th 2013
73
I wanted good music. I found it on this album.
Sep 06th 2013
74
mayer's album is just better.
Sep 06th 2013
75
      Except I said the 2nd half, and no it's not.

Sep 06th 2013

I can definitely see that. It gets stuck in your head like crazy.
Sep 12th 2013
120
Can't Live Without kinda reminds me of N'Dea Davenport
Sep 11th 2013
109
      Word, it does have that N'Dea flavor of soul.
Sep 12th 2013
