Just listened to the standard for the first time. It's a solid album.
I really like the first three tracks. They almost remind me of some of Drake's softer stuff, which is great. I love most of the Dr. Luke tracks, especially Get On Your Knees and Trini Dem Girls. Get On Your Knees should really be a single. Want Some More is also amazing, kinda reminds me of old school Nicki. The middle bit gets a little boring. I actually don't remember Favorite and Buy A Heart at all. The Night Is Still Young feels like filler. I understand that she wanted to include one pure pop song, but she really didn't have anything better to offer than that?
Bed of Lies isn't really necessary either, considering Pills N Potions and Grand Piano are both better than it. Grand Piano is a great way to end the album, I really didn't think Nicki had it in her to make a ballad like that. Beautiful.
Overall, I think cutting a few tracks out would do the album a ton of good, but it is decent nonetheless.
Ha albums are amazing.
I mean she is singing the Chorus. I added ha credits to my iTunes.
