The thing about BTB for me is that the gems are stellar, but the filler tracks are dreadful. Loose's filler tracks (even though I only see two or three) are more tolerable in my opinion. I agree with you on the fact that most of TSE is trash, though. I think I was generous by giving the album an average of 6 (and that was only because I liked three songs)

I think I'll start at 6 PM central US time.

There is no filler on Loose. Every song is beautiful.

thanks. I'll catch up on results when I wake up then

Christina's screeching must have damaged your eardrums along the way if you really think Loose is a bad album.

But it's also only natural that Back to Basics would have the lowest average. All of those crappy intros and interludes drag down its score. It still has a bunch of great songs that will do well in this rate.

Loose is obvi the best album here. Now enough with the nonsense.

The Loose haters. Now I really hope it dominates.

Love how intense the debate has been before we've even started the countdown!

Any person who doesn't think Back To Basic's the best out of the 4, knows nothing about art, and true music. There's a reason why that's the only album among the others that gained glorious Grammy gold.

Can't wait.
This must be the most exciting rate in ATRL history

Loose better slay.

A 4.

Did you give Still Dirrty a 10.5?

Back To Basics has some of the best songs among the four albums, but it has several of the worst as well. Anyone declaring it a masterpiece is wrong... What kind of masterpiece includes a 'dedication to fans'?

I feel like BTB, Loose, and Dutchess all have their defenders, but nobody's defending TSE

That's because TSE is the worst album

It's going to slip under the radar and sweep like Katy B.

Were you one of those fans praising her during the album?
