Please don't come for the jesus. album The six top ten singles This Time Throb Where Are You Now

The sound of music industry extravagance at its platinum-plated zenith.

I need to start posting in here. Janet is my queen

This is correct. All For You and Unbreakable may even be better than Janet.

I actually think What's Ur Name is an underrated track from Discipline. It sounds like pretty authentic Janet while not beating you over the head with the fact that it's trying to be "classic Janet with a modern twist" or Janet trying to keep up with the new gals.

Ignore the Sidekick reference, of course.

YES. The Sidekick lyric almost ruins it, but it's such a lovely melodic track that almost sounds like '90s J.

F**K Bob.

If is THAT song.

Get out

If is the greatest song ever recorded in the history of classical and modern music.

Leaving Throb aside, This Time is the best moment on Janet. Like that Opera like bridge UGH Her best song after 2nite.

I actually had pretty much made peace with the fact that Discipline was the last album. It was a shame, but I understood. Now that we have Unbreakable I'm like "NOOO, she can't stop now." There's clearly still inspiration to be cultivated there. Especially now. I'm ready for ha motherhood awakening songs.

I'm still trying to decide if I think it's her best since All For You or since The Velvet Rope. Overall it's a better album than All For You, but potentially holding it back is the lack of at least two galvanizing pieces of pop perfection, which All For You served in its title track and Son of a Gun Someone To Call My Lover.

Okay, but can we get into What'll I Do? Like, I get it, it's not a genre that we're used to from Janet. But she DID THAT.

"Boy I love ya. Wanna hold ya. NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhihihiyeah." Sing it, bitch.

[C.Damen]

I don't think I ever listened to Throb in full.

i've come to love what'll i do in the past year or so

I struggle with that too, and I wonder if it's just the nostalgia of a decent album campaign clouding my judgement. I actually really love AFY, but maybe its just the fact that there are videos and interviews and the ICON special and a tour, and I would actually place Unbreakable above AFY if it weren't for those things. I'm not sure.

Once you know, you can't not know.

It seems like a small thing, but dropping the interludes and giving a natural transition between the songs on Unbreakable is one of its strongest suits. It really lends itself to the feeling of a cohesive piece of work. It's not necessarily a must, because she has albums that sound cohesive even while being chock full of interludes, but it really helps the feeling of being a suite of connected songs rather than being glued together with cute studio banter.

Omg me too. I really hope she doesn't stop. If we hear she's recording it'll be my first time really getting excited about new Janet music again.

jdmc I voted in your Monica Rates so don't start please. ^_^

Control and VR >>>>>> RN1814 and janft.

What?! It's just a friendly discussion. I love Control as much as the next person. It's my 2nd fav album of hers. But the only problem is that it's too short. I needed more songs.

Rhythm Nation was everything from political to adventurous to fun to sadness. It's the album everyone needs to hear.

RN >> Control >> VR >> janet.
