3.0 good | galaxyseal | April 13th 18 | While I wouldn't call the album explicitly bad in any way... it's rather underwhelming considering the immense hype it had and the large amount of time she had to work on it. Not to mention that a fair number of tracks feel very commercially-focused as opposed to her previous records. While I can say it is quite the ride, it’s one that leaves a pit in my stomach.

2.5 average | Wildhoney | April 14th 18 | Lmao, what the fuck Tinashe. The album starts off strong with the t/t and "No Drama", two great
songs. Then "He Don't Want it" happened, and a bead of sweat appeared on my forehead. Then I heard
that indescribably atrocious bed-creaking sample in the first 10 seconds of "Ooh La La" (no
really, I have no right word for how fucking annoying it is), and I knew it was all over. It's an
otherwise good song ruined by so tasteless a sample. Seriously, what the fuck was she trying to
do? The rest of the album can likewise only be described as insipid and contrived, with few
exceptions. What's clear to me is that she needs to drop these aspirations of becoming a cookie-
cutter superstar if these are going to be the dividends we see. The difference in passion between
Nightride and Joyride makes it so obvious that her heart is somewhere else musically. She should
have done more of that, but instead we have this thing, so confused with what it wants to be that
it ends up being nothing at all.
