That was one reviewer. Year-end lists and an initial review are not always compatible.
BBC gave it a perfect rating and didn't put it anywhere in their top 50.
And opinions change with time and repeated listens. I remember when EW initially gave Rated R a B and then named it the best pop album of the year, essentially issuing a mea culpa.
This will be the WORST list in 2011 by DeRogatis(A Fat Person).FLOP LIST.
In time for Thanksgiving, famed Lester Bangs acolyte Jim DeRogatis has tapped his inner crank (aka his crank) to kick off list-season with 2011′s Top 10 Turkeys. (That is, records that are dry and devoid of life and the consumption of which will make you lazy and gassy.) At this point, ‘Gum-commenter punchline trends dictate that the #1 selection on any list like this is a foregone conclusion, and to that end, Mr. DeRo does not disappoint. The next nine, however, probably include most of the albums that will top most of the lists for the year’s best, so consider yourself BAITED. Jive:
10 Drake – Take Care
09 St. Vincent – Strange Mercy
08 P.J. Harvey – Let England Shake
07 Art Brut – Brilliant! Tragic!
06 Adele – 21
05 Lady Gaga – Born This Way
04 Coldplay – Mylo Xyloto
03 Björk – Biophilia
02 Bon Iver – Bon Iver
01 Lou Reed & Metallica – Lulu
Bon Iver, PJ Harvey, Drake, Bjork and a few others have made many 'best of' year-end lists and even topped them. It looks like he looked at some of the 'best of' lists and threw some of the top albums on his list and threw in some albums with moderate acclaim and called it a day.
Ok but you stan for Jason DeRulo though.... therefore your opinion is automatically invalid. I def wont be taking your word for anything especially when it comes to albums. The nerve of you to try and come for ANYTHING
And Take Care is an overrated boring whiny slow mess. If I want to listen to a bunch of slow songs about getting played and being depressed, I'll listen to 21. I'm not
here for a whiny R&B album from a "rapper".
Yet Chris is a Hip Hop artist and is leaning towards Pop. Let's not disrespect the epicness that is "Take Care"
