*queues up "bad idea"*
I like this album a lot and have listened to it regularly lately but I think it lacks something to be a really GREAT album.Maybe one more big song instead of one of the 2-3 that I find meh (so that's roughly one quarter of fillers on the album...)

if you swap out some of the worse tracks for best ones on sweet that’s pretty close to a classic. just skipped thru sweetener again and it’s crazy how bad the pharrel tracks are lol
― flopson, Friday, 1 March 2019 09:20 (five years ago) link
I'd keep REM, No Tears Left, Breathin and Succesful from Sweetener, i'd definitely ditch Make Up and 7 Rings from Thank You, Next but not much else. There's surely a good poll of all the tracks to be made, maybe in another coupla months or so tho.
― piscesx, Friday, 1 March 2019 10:56 (five years ago) link
With « breathin » and « better off » instead of « bad idea », « make up » or « in my head », it would be a classic album for me !

idk what people dislike about "make up", it's short but sweet and i love the syncopation
― ufo, Friday, 1 March 2019 13:27 (five years ago) link
"make up" is not bad but I just never feel like listening to it so it's one of the tracks I always skip.

UK garage remix of 'Bad Idea' as soon as possible please.

Rod Liddle in not a fan shock
Ariana Grande's album is vapid, talentless, derivative, oversexed crap, says Rod Liddle. Pre-teen pop was never much cop. But compare this to the Monkees — or even Vanilla Ice. It's far worse.https://t.co/3eDsPzoAro— The Spectator (@spectator) March 3, 2019

Nothing to do with this album but I watched Zoolander 2 yesterday (yeah, don't ask... I have no proper excuse or explanation for that... and it's even worse than I imagined it would be!) and she has a cameo in it : she plays a S&M chick in full leather/latex rabbit suit + mouth ball gag (and 1 line I think) !That was... unexpected !

i think i had given up on her making another album this good again

"ghostin" is one of the best songs about relationship dynamics i've heard in a while & i can't believe they came up w it on the same protracted timeline as the rest of this album
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 17 March 2019 16:33 (five years ago) link
« Ghostin » is wonderful. I don’t know enough about her stuff before Dangerous Woman but it might be her richest song, both lyrically and musically. What a great album. The more I listen to it, the more I love it, except the 3 songs I pass and have actually removed from my edited version of the album (replaced with « Breathin » and « Better off » which share the same emotional/confessional core as the rest of the album).

No "NASA" ? It may be the one with the brightest melodies. Sometimes it's my favourite song of the album.

love the horns
They had a voting booth last night at the opening show, decked out in the Sweetener colours with "the future is voting" written on it. Couldn't love this woman more i'm sorry.

(Has there ever been an album that sequences the first three singles as the final three tracks??)
Listened to this for the first time today on Spotify without looking at the tracklist and I really liked it but kept thinking "when are the songs I know coming up?"

This is her greatest video... The song rules, the video rules, it’s all perfecto 👌

ahah, it's a cute video (that reminds me of the videos I was making back in like 93 with my father's camcorder... except for the FX of course)and the song is fun but it's all pretty lightweight and anecdotal imo(and that's fine !).

^yeah, it’s remarkable. I’m a little surprised it never got more attention (even after being released as a “promotional single” last fall, performed on TV, etc.)
― get your hand outta my pocket universe (morrisp), Sunday, 14 April 2019 22:52 (five years ago) link
My copy of that 7” finally arrived (“Thank U, Next” b/w “Imagine”). I don’t normally buy redundant vinyl just on “collector/fan” impulse, but it feels like holding a perfect slice of history.

rinsed this lp the past week. 'ghostin' is the most emotional cut of pop ive heard in the past ten years, fuck. the whole record's texturally gorgeous.

Weirdly, Ariana Grande was one of the first people to know the details of this piece. I was catching up with a friend, in March, and she walked into his flat. Turns out they've known each other for fifteen years. We talked about Abu Hafs al-Mauritani's post-9/11 escape to Iran. https://t.co/s1T6G7H1WI— Ben Taub (@bentaub91) April 20, 2019
