Yeah definitely. People are always shocked to hear how I feel about IWH lol. It might have something to do with how straight-forward the lyrics are? Or (to me) how the grooves on both are basically non-existent? The only part of MR I really enjoy is the end of the chorus.
I love ballads and though I love Gaga at the piano...I haven't liked her studio ballads till now.
Prior to Joanne, one of my favorite "ballads" was when she covered viva la vida.
