Eh, it was whatever. Nasty and Let's Wait Awhile, as well as You Can Be Mine on a shorter scale, are pretty much the main listens for this album. Some tracks were too long, some were too repetitive, maybe even lazy and plain. A few of these actually felt like somewhat of a chore to really get through, as they just had some of the same lines or just the song title repeated constantly over an instrumental that really isn't anything new. Maybe this record was a major bop back in the day but for me, not anything impressive. I believe I heard Nasty before but I didn't remember it, and it was great and oozed sex appeal. You Can Be Mine is pretty cutesy and enjoyable. Let's Wait Awhile, I already knew this when Glee covered it (which was also very well-done) and it's nearly the only slowed down track and makes me wish that there was a little more slow jams on here. Funny How Time Flies kind of goes in that same category but man, that song is an utter filler. Plus I could only think of How Many Times by Tinashe the whole time and also ponder on how that track is way more superior. Oh well... on to the next one.

Janet's influence on Tinashe
And Control is a okay album. RN is really good though. Hope you like it!

Oop. The score is lower than I expected, I'd rather have it more at a B- or so. Definitely better than Control. I loved the whole mood and sound of this album, especially songs like the title track and Black Cat. Black Cat really slayed me and it's the only one I actually really wanted to put on repeat for a little bit (and then did.) There's a few songs that are just okay, but still really beat out Control's over-repetitiveness by a mile. Also, unlike that album, for this one I actually wanted less slower tracks. I was bopping for a good portion of this, and I felt like it didn't really need a ton. Lonely was the best of the bunch, but it could've been better. The two at the end were pretty disappointing and brought down the quality significantly, as they were too long and really didn't provide much to love. Alright was pretty much the same way, but for the upbeat side of RN1814. I had higher expectations for this one as I've actually heard amazing things about it, though never heard any of the material, and sadly they weren't really met. Take out the three songs I didn't enjoy and you'll have a pretty solid release, though.
I really tried oh so hard to not open the mini box of Skittles I got for my birthday and save them for another day but I just couldn't. Fatty struggles.
Am I the only one that eats colorful candies (Skittles, Starbursts, Air-heads) in a certain order? Ones that have different flavors, though. I don't do that with M&Ms or anything ddd.
With Skittles I just go from my least faves to faves, though I love them all.
Yellow/Green (I eat them together), then Purple, then Orange, then the holy Red
My Kelly ranking (for now):
All I Ever Wanted > "Sober" > Breakaway > Stronger > "Never Again" > Piece by Piece > Thankful >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> fetus Kelly crying after being born > My December
You will not do her best song like that, and to even include Sober and not that. Disgraceful.
Sober is top tier tho
Maybe it's Maybe's fault that it's not memorable I don't feel like venturing into that discombobulated album just for that song. I already moved past Kelly and am listening to more easy listening, morning music since the sun is coming out now.
I might listen to one or two of the Janet albums I got because I have nothing to do right now and also nothing to listen to.

Haven't listened in ages.
