Thus far, I'm enjoying how this flows a lot better than ArchAndroid for the most part

The visionary pop star follows the trajectory of her genre-hopping previous endeavors with more driving ambition and artistic creativity to booty don't lie.

Ghetto Woman is a pure 70s Stevie Wonder jam. on the first listen I like this but it falls well short of The ArchAndroid to me. i like every track but not much jumps out like on her first LP.



don't care for the interludes at all either.

sputnik ain't ready for that booty.



Also this would be a 4.5 if they had cut those idiotic dj interludes.

3:30 Minutes of wasted time. Split in 3 parts so I have to skip 3 times. Genius idea.

Ghetto Woman is really great. Kinda makes me wanna throw on Songs In The Key Of Life but definitely one of my favourites here.



like her rapping on the album too.

The interludes are wildly different here, and I find that fact refreshing. She could've done more of what she did on the last album, but these interludes provide a tangible context to the record. The concept is more real because of them. And I dislike that discussions of, well, about any modern record that contains interludes ends up saying "yeah, those interludes, man, they should've just been cut out"

Are we not considering their roles here? Because they do a great job of dividing this record up, whether or not you may think DJ Crash Crash is a pain to listen to.

Yeah I dig the interludes. I find them highly important to the album but a nuisance to listen to more the first few times.



You could make a playlist of the entire album in order but excluding the interludes. But for me, the interludes are too short to

take anything away from the rest of the album b

I get the context of putting these interludes, but it really doesn't help that the last one is sequenced between two of the most poignant tracks on here (Ghetto Woman and Victory). It really feels tonally out of place. The other two are forgivable, if totally unnecessary after multiple spins.
