Ciara - 'Fantasy Ride'

yeah it is close, Keri's album is slept on by you guys for some reason...

I only skip one track on Keri's album, whereas I skip like 4 on Ci's... but Ci's album is more adventurous and the highs are a bit better so I give her the edge

this is up there with anything on Fantasy Ride:

eh, the keri album has good songs on it, but completely fails at making me want to listen to it again. I'll probably take "Turnin' Me On" over anything on the Ciara album tho

turnin me on is the best out of both but ciara's album is - as you say - more adventurous, also

in a perfect world...: 60 mins
fantasy ride: 51 mins

and i think 'in a perfect world...' feels about 3 songs too long too

knock you down- 5:26
make love- 5:22
alienated- 4:34
tell him the truth- 4:47
where did he go- 4:55

none of these songs need to be anywhere near this long + the longest song on 'fantasy ride' is 4:33 ("never ever") and most don't even hit 4 mins. maybe i'm nitpicking but it's a big thing for me wrt keri

i probably don't like the Keri album anymore than i'd like the Ciara album if i heard it in full, but i love the fact that Keri had better first week sales

nah, i still think the keri album is leaps and bounds better than this.

How Does It Feel is seriously a huge, amazing mindfuck, kicks anything on Fantasy Ride's ass.

(not to mention Where Did He Go, Intuition, Slow Dance, Alienated, Energy, Turnin Me On)

i totally disagree, except i don't really like "knock you down" or "make love." but the others could just go on and on for all i care.

"pucker up" is incredible too - should be a single imo

like, this makes me wonder if you've even listened to fantasy ride. "love sex & magic", "never ever", "high price" "work", "lover's thing" and obviously "echo" are better than anything on the keri, though "alienated" (while a little radio R&B by-the-numbers) is great and "return the favor" and "turning me on" are good too

opinions are a crazy thing, right?

ikr!!

i don't really think Alienated is radio rNb by-the-numbers though. little too poppy for that.

uh that's sorta my point

when i think "radio R&B by-the-numbers," i certainly don't think of something as poppy and fluffy as Alienated

"pucker up" is incredible too - should be a single imo

^^^^yesssss! I'MMA WEAR MY SUPERGIRL SWAG IF U DON'T LIKE IT U CAN KISS MY SWAG. i love how it perfectly blends the freestyle revival strand of things w/the trashy stompy electro strand (and how it saves making the freestyle obvious until the 2nd verse). SM-SM-SMOOCHES.

i can't get enough of 'turnin me on' but keru just can't keep my attn for the whole album...not that the songs are bad, if ciara was doing it i might like it better. and i can see myself loving individual tracks as singles in isolation.

well it's kind of a bottom heavy album (after the intro and turnin me on, of course), so there's that

really into like a surgeon right now

lucky for you it's the next single (along with "work"). they're come to their senses I guess and ditched "tell me what ur name is"

if "when i grow up" made it into the top 10 i don't see why "pucker up" won't aside from promo budgets and such

Downloaded the leak, "Click/Flash" is amazing, best song on leak or retail version easily. "Pucker Up" is pretty great too, can imagine how awesome that opening synth would sound on club speakers.

I just wish I could hear "High Price" on club speakers.

otm on both of those

my trax are basically:
high price
like a surgeon
work
pucker up
g is for girl
i don't remember
Keep dancin (chorus mainly)

love sex magic sounds too derivative to me. overall this album seems like it would be more fun to actually record/sing than listen to.

"too derivative" = it's basically a JT track

It's "Sexy Ladies" is what it is.

so yea "high price" is kind of kicking my ass now

"i don't remember" is like incredibly sweet. those synths! those vox!

also the vocals on "g is for girl are perfect

yeah she kills it on 'g is for girl' - far more than the dated g-unit knock-off beat deserves!

I always skip that song, the beat is lame I just can't.

the synth strings really make me cringe - i loved them at the time but now it's just, no

oh yea i don't have that problem :/

still blown away by like a surgeon

and still cannot get behind Love sex magic, turntables or never ever

blown away by how retarded it is

people have weird opinions about this album imo

imwo

otm

There is some really memorable stuff on here! Glad I gave it a try actually.

riiight... and Never Ever is so far from retarded.

ummm, i kind of go crazy when luda goes "my money works for meeee"

people who have strong opinions about ciara are weird imo

oh man, i didn't know about this thread!

i'm all talked out on this, but i'm still playing the shit out of it

This new ciara shit - tell that DJ back it up!

in which missy is an alien, ciara is fierce, and hot chicks dance in the desert while surrounded by the video for Benny Benassi's Satisfaction.

also: backflips and a rapunzel-length ponytail.

this video is MURDER

ciara dancing in the wife beater/ripped jeans combo is O_O

ugh nothing about this that isn't repulsive
