Sent! I overrated the mixtapes a bit just because I knew they would be dragged (and JJ is actually kinda good) and was a bit harsh to Unbreakable just because newer albums always tend to do a bit better than they should in rates like these.

Also, I kind of forgot that 20 Y.O. is actually sort of good....like it is terrible by her standards, but if some random pop/R&B girl with low expectations released the album it would be a career highlight.

Averages:
Janet Jackson - 8
Dream Street - 4
Control - 8.333
Rhythm Nation 1814 - 8.833
janet. - 8.889
The Velvet Rope - 8
All For You - 6.636
Damita Jo - 5.353
20 Y.O. - 5.4
Discipline - 1.8
Unbreakable - 6.857
Unreleased - 3.444

Drag!

Daybreak is such a pretty song! It also reminds me of this Pokemon soundtrack/dungeon

Those were two of my lower ranked DJ tracks (one of those was my lowest tbh)

This Time would be a great winner too now that I think about it. The sheer emotion in that song > The DRAMA. It's got everything, and just feels like a winner.

My ideal top 3 is literally all from the same album: Funky Big Band/This Time/Throb

I would be fine with This Time winning. My favourite song from janet. along with Any Time, Any Place.

Warmth is amazing, poor Tyler.

Crescendolls.

I'm in

Livin in a World for the win

"Funky Big Band" still is that jam and so is "Throb". These two especially the later are making me conflicted on what song I should give my 11 too, although I thinking about it to give to something that I love but most fans don't care for hehe

conatus

The fact I think my ideal winner is from janet. too...

Just accept the truth that it is her best album.

Theus

Well considering there is not so many tracks left on Control and RN1814, I wouldn't surprised if janet. ends up with my highest average as well. I have only listened to the mixtapes once but I don't remember what they sound like so it will be a good (or not) experience visting them again.

Second on some days, Third on others.

Control through TVR are all so close to call that they are barely worth ranking against one another.

conatus

Yeah, it's such a strong run of albums. I'm even starting to love All For You, though it definitely pales in comparison to its predecessor(s).

Subomie

All For You is barely better than Damita, Unbreakable gets better each listen tho

But Damita is better than All For you....

Warmth, Moist, R&B Junkie >>>>

Might give my 11 to R&B Junkie. Criminally underrated.

Unbreakable definitely makes up for the rest of this decade. It > janet., I'd say. Though maybe I should wait for the novelty to fully wear off.
