Ugh this has been on repeat since release
The key change during Greedy
The bridge during Sometimes
Nicki's verse in Side to Side
The build up to the last chorus in Into You
The last thirty seconds of Moonlight
All my fave parts of this flawless album

Am I the only one who hears and prefers these lyrics for Into You?

And baby I'll let you on it

I personally think Dangerous Woman is much better than 7/27 and here's why.
Yes, 7/27 is more current but its just a mess. Its a try-hard wannabe current mess. If you take it down a notch, it has huge potential to be a more authentic compilation of music. But with the over the top productions, its just tiring.
Dangerous Woman on the other hand, is very cohesive and I love the fact that Ariana is serving variety in cohesion, though some songs are worse than anything on 7/27 like you said.

Unpopular Opinion, but I still think Focus (minus that guy yelling) Is the best song off this entire album, but Into You and Dangerous Woman are a close 2nd and 3rd to me.
Be honest, if it wasn't for that guy, you'd all be stanning for it, and I'd even go as far to say that it would be her best song to date. I've heard versions of the song without it, but they all just use that 3rd verse instrumental as the chorus, and it just sounds weird, what they should be doing instead is just taking Ariana's backing vocals where she says focus, edit that a bit, and make that into a chorus... at least that's what makes sense to me. I'd make an edit for that, but I'm really late, and I don't want to get copyrighted.
As for the first Single, Dangerous Woman, it's definitely a different direction for her, while I personally prefer her My Everything sound, it's interesting to see another side of her music, it's doing well on the charts, I'd say this is doing about as well as "The Way" did a few years ago, which is good, but not nearly as well as it should be considering last album she almost reached #1 and had 3 top 10 singles and 1 top 20, so when you compare it to her last album, this isn't good, the album didn't even reach #1. Ariana is early enough in her career where a decline like this shouldn't be happening so soon, I hope they can fix this next album. Don't get me wrong though, Dangerous Woman is a good song, and she definitely has talent.
As for Into You, the verses aren't anything special, (reminds me a bit of Run Away With Me) but the pre-chorus and chorus in Into You is really nice, and that 3rd verse is great, just wish it was more successful on the charts.
Not sure what to say about Let Me Love You, it's a pretty decent album track.
Be Alright just needs a bit more production, then it would be a lot better.
Other songs I've listened to their previews but not the full versions yet.

If anyone care, lemme post my reviews after a week of listening.
oh
1. Moonlight
The perfect opener since Taylor's Red. It is sister of Honeymoon Avenue. The way her vocal soars while drawing in the hypnotizing beat is the beautiful thing I have ever heard. Her vocal sounds so angelic in this. Again, a perfect opener. 10/10
2. Dangerous Woman
Had been playing this ever since it came out. It has very The Weeknd vibes to it, the production is very polished. The vocoder in the end was really well executed and perfect outro. 9/10
3. Be Alright
There's nothing impressive about this track aside the house influenced. The Vocal is just alright (no pun intended). It just keep dragging on and dragging. Probably the only least favourite track of mine. 4/10
4. Into You
"I'm so into you" as Ariana cooed in this track talking about how she is really like really into this guy. After hearing this song, you will feel like this is very Break Fred's sister but better. If there's something that she doesn't disappoint, it is the vocal. And it's in bridge. She made it clear that she's so into you. Are you? 9/10
5. Side to Side (ft Nicki Minaj)
It's disappointing after the pop perfection of their collaboration on The Pinkprint, Get On Your Knees. Aside the fact that their vocals work perfectly, there's something missing in this track. Maybe chemistry? Oh, hopefully the #BicycleDick will never happen. 7.5/10
6. Let Me Love You (ft Lil Wayne)
"I just broke with my ex" as Ariana stated looking for the new love. Wow already? Huh. 7/10
7. Greedy
The intro is bit very confusing for me. It sounds like 'Pretty' to me instead of Greedy. It's very poppiest track of the album. It's that record where you can also sing along to. That repetition of 'I'm Greedy' in bridge is very catchy and hypnotizing. 8/10
8. Leave Me Lonely (ft Macy Gray)
To be honest, I never knew who Macy was. Her raspy voice really caught my attention and I gave her album a listen and it's really amazing and y'all should, too.
Back to song, it's a slow jam where the vocals worked beautifully and insanely. Ariana's vulnerable voice and Macy's raspy voice blended beautifully, thus, creating this amazing Pop/RnB track. I don't have any negative about this song. 10/10
9. Everyday (ft Future)
"He giving me good ****" as Ariana sang while Future chanted "Everyday" thrice. The "la la la la" hook is really worth hearing. Future sang very decently, even though, it isn't a style to look forward from my point of view. The track is an uptempo with RnB feel to it. 9/10
10. Sometimes
She's going back to her vocal showcase this time. It has the vibes from "Yours Truly" album. A finger snapping with Rnb drums and snare with her vocal showcase make this track very Mediocre. If anything, it's nice hearing her 6/10
11. I Don't Care
It's secons shortest after Be Alright. Again, she is showcasing her vocal range in this track. Aside that, there's nothing impressive from this track. It's very decent track. But a Very Good Decent one. This is the track that you can listen whenever you are working. It's just simple but effective. 7.5/10
12. Bad Decisions
Oh! Watch out, bad bitch coming through. It's really surprising track to me. After the transition from I Don't Care to this, anyone would have raised an eyebrow. She talks about how a guy has made her doing bad decision and "making her a princess be a bad bitch". The Vocal run is very impressive. A worthy track to listen. 9/10
13. Touch It
No negativity in this song, pls. Bu for real, this has to be her best song. It's very Yours Truly vocals mixed with My Everything production. The last minutes especially the vocal runs and adlibs is absolutely insane. You can sense a bit of whistle. This is ethereal. Pop perfection. I was absolutely shocked knowing how she can create 13 banger tracks. The vocalizing in the end before the track end is just absolutely phenomenon. The cons: LOL 10/10
14. Knew Better/Forever Mine
The transition is actually very well done, to my surprise. There's something off putting in this track that I can't find. 8/10
15. Thinking Bout You
Thinking Bout You? More like Thinking Bout Jesus. This is another pop perfection. I wished this was next to Touch It because It has very similar structure to Touch It. The simple intro with addictive verse following to catchy prechorus followed by explosive chorus and the insane vocal run and adlibs in bridge towards the end of the song. Literal masterpiece. I don't think I have ever been in love with such song. Cons: Why are you so negative? 10/10
Overall: A very cohesive album. 8.5
Grade: A

It's on the Japanese version, so it counts. And imo it should've been included.
I'll never understand why artists cut singles from their album, like at least put it in the deluxe.
And let me remind you that Focus charted higher then anything on this album did or will.
