I finally listened to the whole album and it is really hard to compared this album to any other of her album because
1- by the time of the release, we only had 2 tracks and 2 interludes to discover
2 - we have been dissecting and digesting all previous singles with peculiar attention as critical as we could be.
3- her catalog is so big it is really hard to top what she did before and don’t we love to compare even in silence.
4- when she isn’t trying to rely in her comfort zone songs, we have a habit (not necessarily bad) to just prefer a certain style she had before.
So in the end, is it a good album, yes, how it compares to the rest of her discography… I don’t know. I guess nonfiction is what seems to be lead single and it isn’t by far her strongest lead, but it is a good song.
23rd monster would be amazing… if It wasn’t that startin’ and Talkin to Myself existed and are superior.
You have (Not)Remember you which is an electronic version or WARNING.
Remember you is good, but MY STORY had WALKING PROUD and HAPPY ENDING.
The album has overall more good songs than MADE IN JAPAN or R’N’R Circus, but these releases had advantage of dropping a bunch of songs at same time and we didn’t spend months criticizing all of them, we just skipped what we didn’t
This is the first time though I don’t have a strong love at first side for a song and I r’think reason being, after 18th albums, it is hard to always outperform yourself.
