No interest in hearing the rest. EMOTION is a spectrum and although it took a few months to grow on me (ATRL throwing it in my face every second certainly turned me off upon the first listen as they overrate every new album.), it panned out to be a really solid and vibrant album.
There's something to be said when a large group of people rally around a rather non-descript act and push for their project this hard for this long. That's not just happenstance.

I STRONGLY agree with your last part. While most people on ATRL do Stan for chart success, sales, and receipts, EMOTION is not one of those things. It's an
extremely unpopular album in the real world, so the fact that this many people continue to defend it and compare it beyond the average life span of the average "new abum," it makes a strong statement: the EMOTION bandwagon isn't a bandwagon at all.
Anyway, On Topic, E•MO•TION is versatile. 25 is not. E•MO•TION has a wide range of emotional appeal. 25 does not. E•MO•TION is an improvement from her previous record. 25 is not.
So yeah, E•MO•TION >>>> 25.
But for the record, 21 >>>> Kiss
