Still one of my favorite albums. Positions was a love letter to herself and us, her fans. We’ve been awaiting her RNB return and it was so nice. Also, 2 years later my only hope is she continues to hone her rnb sound and add her own personal elements in. She fixed that enunciation of course so I have such high hopes! Her voice is matured now too. I cannot wait.

I liked 34+35. It kinda shows how adultish she's become. A lot of people want to still think of her as a Nickelodeon star, but that's REALLY not the reality. Like she's 27. I do think that the collaborations weren't needed and could have been separate songs, but they were fun. I also think the album could've been an EP or Mixtape. But the record is not Ari's worst. It is listenable and enjoyable for a listen or two.

I personally loved this album!!! Although it’s not my favorite Thank you next, dangerous women, and sweetener are my top 3. I love how Ariana has leveled up and is making songs about her sexual life. This album is definitely related towards teens and adults. I love the change and she sounds amazing with the R n B pop mix.

@EljohnMacaranas 3 года назад
I feel like some of these tracks were demos of better songs. Another pass at the lyrics or structuring the production and some would have hit a lot harder, all the other albums felt polished maybe too much but this one felt like it needed a lil more love. Then again, it’s the post-imperial album, these tend to be a little more passion-y.

I love the album and i genuinely do not see the problem with it. Productions was good(i love the strings throughout). Vocal production was EVERYTHING. She sang DOWN on this one. I don't see how people keep saying "its the same trap beat over and over" when it clearly isnt. The only "trap music " imo was obvious and 34+35. Then some songs had a somewhat trap beat. I think theres a difference in trap music and a trap beat. Not to mention, the trap beats werent all the same. The lyrical content may not be her best, but it was most certainly relatable, and i was vibing. Its some of ari's best work. This album may not be for everyone but its most certainly not a flop. Its already in my top 3 along with sweetener and dangerous woman. Overall, i really enjoyed this album. No skips for me.

@@EljohnMacaranas I agree, I still love them tho. I felt like the album was missing something when it first released and the Deluxe ones kind of rounded out the album. Tho, I wasn’t satisfied with the abrupt ending in main thing when the whole album felt very theatrical with it’s use and constant theme of strings. But as time goes by, I keep wondering about how intentional that was because the same could be said for pov and then the deluxe came.
