i don't love "again" but "where are you now"/"the body that loves you"/"any time, any place" is a great sequence on janet

If “Empty” doesn’t rank everyone’s accounts get deleted.

― ufo, Thursday, 9 July 2020 02:13 (five years ago)
yeah ufo otm, "where are you now" is one of her all-time greatest slow jams

i'm listening to 20 yo and uh yeah... something's still not right here. "do it 2 me" is pretty cool though

― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 9 July 2020 02:27 (five years ago)
lol, whoops, the album gets really good right around there. "take care" is amazing

"rock with u" is amazing but consider: "2nite"

holy shit I'm starting from the first album and this is like..... really really good?? like ok yeah obv it's not as innovative or groundbreaking as her later work but as a huge fan of early 80s funky disco pop this is GREAT

once the ballads hit it's too late, but the disco pop stuff is great yeah
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 9 July 2020 14:05 (five years ago)
yeah the ballads are clunkers for sure. I'm on "Dream Street" now and the first 3 songs are also fire
― vision joanna newsom (Stevie D(eux)), Thursday, 9 July 2020 14:23 (five years ago)
oh my god this synth breakdown at the end of "Pretty Boy" is sheer euphoria
― vision joanna newsom (Stevie D(eux)), Thursday, 9 July 2020 14:26 (five years ago)
my ballot is, again, already full, but i'm really considering doing this too, what a cool song
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 9 July 2020 14:48 (five years ago)
OK how the fuck am I supposed to make room for "Moist" and "SloLove"
― TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 9 July 2020 15:24 (five years ago)
re: dream street: "don't stand another chance," "pretty boy," "fast girls," all great
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 9 July 2020 15:58 (five years ago)
"fast girls" is very proto-control

re: "black cat," i forgot, the video version is superior

i am kinda digging rediscovering Janet's ROCKIN THE FUCK OUT tracks,"Trust a Try" is fucking awesome

oh man the remix poll is gonna be even harder than the main one

― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 9 July 2020 23:46 (five years ago)
this may be beside tim's point about damita jo but "dammn baby" sorta realizes the idea of janet's last train to paris for me
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 9 July 2020 23:47 (five years ago)
which, really it's the jam & lewis version of mustardwave, but that's how it ends up for me regardless

I remember five summers ago almost weeping when "No Sleeep" was so damn good.

Same.

Was just thinking that if "Feels So Right" had shown up in, say, the back half of Erykah Badu's "Cain't Use My Phone" EP I'd still be spinning it weekly to this day.

omg TIL Janet released a promo-only single for Pepsi in 1999 that I don't believe has been available anywhere else since?? I wouldn't say it's one of her all time best tracks but I def don't hate it and it came with a Masters At Work remix

The post-All For You records aren't doing a whole lot for me these first time through them, but for what its worth, "So Much Betta" (from Discipline) is the only thing I've heard so far that I think is flat-out awful.
― A White, White Gay (cryptosicko), Friday, 10 July 2020 22:39 (five years ago)
*THIS first time through them
― A White, White Gay (cryptosicko), Friday, 10 July 2020 22:40 (five years ago)
oh that's how i feel about "this body" on 20 y.o.. terrible
i like "so much betta"
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 10 July 2020 22:43 (five years ago)
I used to hate “Rock With U” but I played it the other day and was like “wait this slams, what is happening”

Okay, after a couple of listens of “Janet Jackson” and “Dream Street” my takeaway is that the s/t is pretty unexceptional and generic but “Dream Street” is like... pretty great?? Which surprised me, bcz my impression was that they were both equally mediocre and filler-y.
― vision joanna newsom (Stevie D(eux)), Saturday, 11 July 2020 13:58 (five years ago)
i still think dream street is a little patchy but again, the jesse johnson and marlon jackson tracks, whew
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Saturday, 11 July 2020 13:59 (five years ago)
also i have tried very hard but there's no way i'm ever going to like "two to the power of love"
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Saturday, 11 July 2020 14:00 (five years ago)
it does not make the mistake the debut makes of wandering off into wispy ballad land
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Saturday, 11 July 2020 14:01 (five years ago)
Oh yeah it’s definitely patchy and imperfect and nowhere near the tier of Control thru Velvet Rope BUT it is a bigger improvement over the s/t than I thought, like in terms of sonic palette I can see a progression from Dream Street to Control, it’s not like a total schism like Underworld’s first 2 albums or something.
