tbh this album is delightfully all over the place musically. If you don't like the song you're hearing, the next one will be along any moment and you'll probably like that one.

although i suppose there was always a faction who just loved her since "212" and was unbothered or unaware of a lot of what transpired outside her records since then xp
― some dude, Wednesday, 28 January 2015 16:29 (nine years ago) link
never listened to it before cos she seems like an incredibly annoying person, but this is okay. the tracks seem to go on forever though in a bit of a disjointed way

is there anything else on it as good as chasing time?
― why you gotta be so rmde (NickB), Wednesday, 28 January 2015 16:32 (nine years ago) link
it's definitely (for me anyway) an album to experience as a whole - a good listen for walking or driving where you can just marinate in it

Even if I'd heard BWET before I made my ballot, it wouldn't have made it; the simple fact that I wasn't wholly revulsed and actually enjoyed most of it puts it way above the rest of her material but doesn't displace my actual favorites from the past year.

"Delightfully all over the place" / "Totally disjointed". You say potato, I say potato. It's no White Album, but again, it's better than I expected. The Araabmuzik track is a lot of fun.

Need to listen to this again. I only heard it once at the beginning of the year and really liked it but for some reason never went back to it.

not heard this before, but this looks like an r'n'b album i could get into.

I have played "I Wish" so much this year, it's kind of ridiculous
I gushed about this album to my wife and she listened to it once and got super worried. After a ridiculous "are you trying to tell me something?" conversation she never went back to it.

I never got around to listening to this until the noms process was underway, and by the time I'd already pretty much cemented my ballot, but if I'd had more time with it I'm sure I'd have voted for it. Wonderful record.

I still need to hear this, nb I know next to nothing about either of them aside from "Un-Breaky My Heart" and a hand of Boyz II Men singles
― example (crüt), Wednesday, 28 January 2015 16:44 (nine years ago) link
uh, Un-Break obv
it's so good that even the extra track "Let's Do It" sounds like the greatest Ne-Yo song ever.

glad i clicked on this thread right now - 'love, marriage & divorce' is a great, great record
from a different perspective its nice to listen to when youre going through a breakup

btw crut, there was a period of time where Babyface was involved in almost every significant piece of black popular music; check this list of things he wrote, produced and/or performed that was nominated for or won awards:

Nah, that opinion or some variation of it has been consistent in every spoon thread on ilm for the last ten years. xp
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 28 January 2015 16:53 (nine years ago) link
thanks DJP! I know a few of these songs, but I missed out on '90s pop and R&B radio so it's kind of a big hole in my knowledge that I need to correct
― example (crüt), Wednesday, 28 January 2015 16:55 (nine years ago) link
i still really like the grab bag of later non-R&B things Babyface did (Fall Out Boy, Eric Clapton, the Josie & The Pussycats soundtrack) and would like to hear him make a weird eclectic record someday. but the album with Toni is a homerun for his more familiar style.

"i wish" is so good, so much acid and a great balance between being strong and being pathetic
