Yes

Album Rating: 1.0 | Sound Off

No is a poorly produced Britney Spears knock off with cringe gimmick lyrics and annoying vocals.

production on No is too good to be considered "knock off" its on a far more professional level than actual Spears knock offs from the old days. I really wouldn't consider the song gimmicky, since Trainor can actually pull of the attitude and style for once, so that makes it a better track than something like All About That Bass. I think people are just way too upset at the song's topic to realize its a diamond cutting jam. It actually made it seem like Trainor couldve had a decent album for once, but the rest of the album screwed that up.

I'm not even particularly upset with the lyrical content; a lot of dudes are shitty and won't take no for an answer, so a song about that topic would have been good. However, it should have been written in a manner that's not meant to exacerbate and inflame an already embroiled listening population. It just comes off as Meghan trying to incite tension between genders and cash in on very real problems.

It's not even the production that's a knock off, listen to the first verse for example, those opening two vocal lines is almost ripped straight from Britney's earlier works. The production is typical poor pseudo-pop dub nonsense that sounds flat on all levels.

"The production is typical poor pseudo-pop dub nonsense that sounds flat on all levels."

its not even dub music tho? its pretty clearly just your electronic SAWs that were big in the 2000s for the edgier side of pop music. The chorus itself is just anti-pop flat beats.

"It just comes off as Meghan trying to incite tension between genders and cash in on very real problems."

I dont really see how. I can understand all about that bass being like that, considering the whole "skinny bitches" thing, but this song is just too inoffensive about "guy at a club wont take no for an answer". its not like its targeting the male populace like the dorks on RYM think it is.

it literally is targeting a hot topic bruh, in a culture that does indeed target the whole male population for it



not like i care but



MY NUMBER IS

NO

theres literally 0 lines on NO that could be going after a "whole populace", its completely different from All About That Bass.

Yeah it's not direct, but it's encouraging generalizations, which is what feminism (what Meghan claims to support) is supposed to be against. I'm not a feminist, and will never be one but it just seems like she's contradicting her own beliefs.

i doubt its changed the landscape of human interaction on any level, since for most people, this song was just a jam that didn't have any particular lines or themes to actually raise an eyebrow. i think its just a fun little song with just the right amount of "attitude" from trainor to not be painfully suffocating.

On the contrary, her attitude is probably the worst thing about that song, and her planet sized ego is in full swing.

but like I said, for this song, it actually works. she has a diva (if blatantly manufactured since she was all 50s doo wop lovable for white moms) personality that matches the vocal melodies, the synth horns of early Spears era, and that anti-pop chorus that makes it stand out a lot more. Its good production/execution.

The attitude was in her previous album as well; especially in songs like "Dear Future Husband", it's not the tenacity of her attitude that bothers me, it's the clear sense of entitlement that she has.

its all a manufactured image by her label/producers, she had like, 3 solo albums before Title and theyre all super inoffensive piano/guitar pop stuff. So its hard to take her seriously. What makes Title such an abysmal album is the lyricism and songwriting being apex white-mom-core between the awful 50s doo wop hip hop sound and the "sassy" lyrics that are clearly inspired by those "for women" e-cards that take a knock at men which the moms share on facebook and have a lil giggle about.

Its just insufferably annoying pop music with no real consequence. This albums a manufactured attempt at a diva that fails.

I'd be more inclined to believe that approach if she wasn't viewed as one of feminism's biggest entertainment icons.

id say that alone is proof enough, her marketing team knows exactly where to sell her appeal.

theres no consequence to her music, much like many of the disposable singles of the top 40s: it comes. it goes. it dies.

not to mention most people turned on Trainor after NO and then Me Too, lol.

The same people who loved All About That Bass loved No as well, same with those who hated All About That Bass.

Her fanbase is still sizable unfortunately.

I think Me Too was to reprehensible even for Traynor fans.

Me Too rules
