And see the difference here is that these albums (Haven't heard ari's so idk) are incohesive but have QUALITY. They may have a few filler but not to where they wear the album down (BoL, BAH, TDG, GOYK, TNISY, PNP, etc... filler on top of filler) . They don't have your run of the mill 2012 sounding (Ari can get a bit generic, but I haven't heard her album so again idk) TNISY-esque stuff. They don't have the formulaic Love The Way You Lie rip offs (Bed of Lies). Sandcastles is a ballad yes, but it's not basic nor does it have that Top 40 formula. TPP had it's ups and it's down and the downs held the album back from being great. Still a good album nontheless.
That there is my problem. Not only was some of it incohesive (I can get over that) but it's also uninspired.
