What About>>>>>>>>

[intosoul]

WOW @ the love for I Get Lonely.
I remember it was one of my faves when the album had just come out, but I never expected it to be a single.

I thought these would be the singles:
1 Got 'Til It's Gone
2 Go Deep
3 Velvet Rope
4 Tonight's The Night
5 What About
6 Special

Pitchfork just rated Rhythm Nation 1814 with 9 (Better than Thriller, Dangerous, any album by Beyonce, Sade, Amy Winehouse, Adele, Oasis and so on... It's in pair with Prince and The Beatles. Just to show how amazing that is). I wonder will they rate The Velvet Rope even higher? They often mention The Velvet Rope as an influence in reviews of albums by other artists. In my opinion The Velvet Rope is better album.

Free Xone is my favourite track today.

^That's amazing. I feel like "Rhythm Nation 1814" is one of the pinnacle albums that defined the 1980's along with "Thriller". TVR slightly edges RN as her best album. It's her most personal album imo.

[ArmyOfMe]

I'm happy for the 9 for Rhythm Nation, that album is revolutionary. We would have no Lemonade without RN1814, for instance.

I'm listening to it rn and it still sounds perfect and cutting-edge.

This album is truly something special. One of my favorite and one of the best albums of all time.



I feel I say this every time I come in this thread.

I don't think they'd rate this higher than Rythm. I fee like Control and Rythm are the albums critics consider her best and most influential but I'd definitely put TVR at a 10

Because they are. And "janet." was extremly influential too.
But "The Velvet Rope" is a very important album in her discography.

I think TVR is the fan favourite, Control and RN1814 are critics favourites, janet. is the best seller, and AFY is the most underrated

Her worst.

What about "All For You"?

From the moment she did the "Fran Drescher laugh" you knew this was not gonna be on the level of her other albums.

[ThaInfo1]

I wouldn't call All For You her worst...but it sure wasn't notable quality wise. I would actually put Unbreakable as her underrated/underappreciated work.

She was still hot stuff during all for you (and amazing considering this was around Brinty/Nsanc time), but the album just had her most pop material if that's to count for anything.

Definitely lol

Its a good album. It has some great hits/songs on it. She had great energy and enthusiasm for it but quality wise it wasn't on par with the big four. There was some mediocre to bad songs on it too. Still a good addition to her discography though.
