Dope video. This is the one she should have led off her roll out with or she should have made it second at least :francis:

With that said what is the black outfit with the white helmet supposed to represent :jbhmm:

I got an Archandroid and a Metropolis Ep physical. I have to hear this album before I cop it.

Album has leaked!!

Lol. I am always unbiased. If something is good, I will say it.. if not then I will say that too. Now if I praise it and then everyone hates it, and it gets rave reviews.. then what? :jbhmm::jbhmm:

I will listen when I get home in nearly two hours.

Album is very different from the previous two, if you like those.. you might not fukk with this one. It's ok. :smile:

It's a nicely crafted pop album imo, if you are into that genre just like R&B.

Nope, when it comes to Janelle you're not.

Damn, I don't like the sound of that tbh. Does she continue the Cindi stuff at all or nah?

So because I like the album I'm biased? What kind of logic is that? Y'all like stuff I don't mess with at times, but I don't say that about you or anyone else. But I know this forum is known for hating Janelle..so I'm prepared. I'm standing my ground proudly. :D

Btw, she's not even my #1 artist.. but when good music is out there, I have no problem appreciating it.

Like I said, the album is different from her previous two in terms of production styling and songwriting/storytelling approach. It's more "bold" and "unapologetic" this time, lyrically and a bit 80s pop sounding as well. If you loved The ArchAndroid and The Electric Lady's approach, I don't expect you to like it. But I'm one of those fans who loves evolution and change too. So I can respect what Janelle did with this record. I can't wait to see the film tomorrow because all it's going to do is bring these songs out even more. The story of Cindi will always be there, even when Janelle doesn't mention her directly. I always felt like Cindi was Janelle's musical alter-ego to begin with.

And here is the first review I've come across. 9/10. ;)
Janelle Monáe Dirty Computer

Imagine judging an album before you even listen to it though.... What kind of true music lover does that? But whatever makes you happy, I guess.

My favorites on first listen are "Screwed" and "Don't Judge Me". "Americans" is cool too.

I love the song transitions too. "Screwed" into "DJango Jane". :wub:

Not a fan of the lack of soulfulness in the tracks. It's sounds more like a rock/pop/folk album than an R&B album.
