The Sacred Prostitute Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Yeah I have the whole house to myself today so it's a perfect day to really study the album. We can say she had 7 years to get it right but it's not like she was in the studio for 7 years. Janet had been through a lot and was obviously not giving a fuck about the music business and was rather uninspired. Janet decided to do her and get rid of all the baggage and found love and marriage and a new found strength that she seems to do so well. This woman is so strong with all the shit that has been thrown at her. We know if Janet had kept the same formula she wouldn't have released the last 3 albums back to back as she would always take 3/4 years in between albums. Damn I love this woman!!!!! And SEXLINES......who the hell put a gun to her head to record that shit!!!!! It couldn't have been from this last production. What a waste of time JD was for her but he gave Janet what she needed personally unfortunately not musically and it's not our business. The way she handled that shit too.....damn Janet is not to be messed with. The Great Forever.....damn damn damn.....those vocals slay!!!!!!! And the production of that song kills! Wow I'm just amazed. Her delivery is amazing. Now I can't stop listening to The Great Forever. The funny thing is the only song that hasn't got me yet is Dammn Baby. We all have our tastes. I think Janet has always been amazing singer but has restrained herself a lot because she knew people would compare her to Michael and she didn't want that but now she's embracing it after his death. This was first evident in "Enjoy". I don't hear Michael's style on this at all except for the title track Unbreakable and Gonna Be Alright. But when she sings in her lower register it's evident she sounds like him. At least for my personal taste I enjoy her vocals more cause she switches it up to her higher register. I'm actually tearing up now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trackboy Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I'm not going to rank the album right now because I'm hype but I will go on record by saying I am not a huge fan of the Janet album. It might actually be my least favorite Janet album after her first two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kishi Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 It's way too soon to rank...but this is how I'm feeling at the moment.1. The Velvet Rope2. Rhythm Nation 18143. Unbreakable4.

xu1993 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 This is really difficult, sort of like listing your favorite kids. :-) It's still fresh, and time really tells, but I'm sure it will be in the top 3-4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I feel like comparing isn't what Janet would want....she said it best, "when you compare someone has to lose" ..this album is just really great on its own 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sacred Prostitute Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) Yeah I'm not really thinking of the other albums right now.

RedSimba Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I guess I have an unfair advantage since I had 2 weeks to fully digest it, but right now I'd rank it around 4th place (a great result b/c I already consider the top 3 albums perfection).janet.Rhythm Nation 1814The Velvet RopeUnbreakableDamita JoControlAll For You20 Y.O.DisciplineDream StreetJanet Jackson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jodienda76 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I agree.. It's far too soon.. I just got it so of course I'm going to rank it higher than usual but for the fun of it.. Not including 'Unbreakable' Here we go:Least to Most Favorite:Dream Street - Disaster Avenue is just that. Janet Jackson - There's some cool bops on here but it's dated Discipline - Janet didn't write and she was just trying too hard to capture the trend. The meaning behind it was meh and the production lacked. 20 YO - The album title alone is meh but understandable. The production value peaked on the second half of the album (after With U). Jimmy & Terry did their best. Damita Jo - Too many cooks in the kitchen for me. The sound was just everywhere. I felt it like a collection of songs on one album instead of a consistent album. I know the Super Bowl made Janet go back and redo everything but still. janet. - Probably my least favorite of her greatest albums. "If" & "TTWLG" are classics and never-aging but besides that, too many interludes Control - Despite it sounding so dated, it is pop perfection. From beginning to end, minus the 2 filler tracks, this album is solid The Velvet Rope - Overrated by the fans but the album we all personally love and relate to the most. It's Janet's deepest album and I love it Rhythm Nation 1814 - Enough said All For You - My baby... My first love.Oh, so you became a fan after "All for You"That explains a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you're older and been a fan longer doesn't make you more superior. Must be a Generation X thing :coffee: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jodienda76 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Furthermore, (eventhough I wasn't talking about neither age, nor fan superiority bullshit) I am the superior fan than all you hoes, REGARDLESS of age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
