In the most complimentary way possible, it’s clear that the decade plus of reviews and life experiences have changed your approach on reviews.

It’s also clear how much the video essay forays have helped in terms of analyzing a project from a more charitable angle (one which most people disingenuously refuse to come in from).

Great review. (I thought bye was great though).

congrats on the new couch man voltorb looks very comfy on his new perch

Great review.

Man I struggled with this album than anything in her catalog and I think the nuances will be missed along the way for some unfortunate clickbait of her relationships, which for the record, she's far from the first R&B/Pop artist with homewrecking accusations, the timeline of everyone's relationships is messy as it is.

But either way, I dare say, this is better and might age fairly than 'thank u, next', it actually got me to give this multiple listens, that says a lot.

[tylerhackner]

I wasn’t expecting to love this album especially with yes, and? But I actually did. I liked the 90s/early 2000s r&b sound and consistent tone (vocally/sonically), better enunciation as well as storytelling (even if the whole drama discourse dominates the album)

[sleepdeprivedpikachu]

for the record i think the homewrecker allegations are stupid the guy could’ve said no it’s his fault too

[emomu]

I liked it. It's a fun and cute album from Ari, and I'd probably say it's my favorite of hers. It's definitely not the boldest or the most adventurous pop album out there, but it's still a good album nonetheless.

[Irisbvdw]

I think is one of her best album ever <3 album of the year for sure <3!

[GetWellSoonR.E.M.]

I personally love this album and I think it’s her best, but it’s mainly because I relate so much to the story being told through this album. It really speaks to me with where I am in life.

I am on your same page with Thank U Next being one of her worst, which I know is unpopular 😅

[PolarianSymphony]

this is easily her best album, and i think it's gonna be treated as such down the line. for now, at least she's got a smash out of it.

[turtletcp]

It’s a lot better than I thought it would have been

[allisons]

Mark are you excited to see Kesha release new music fully freely soon? Her new management seems to be doing a good job, she finally has credit for Right Round and Timber on Spotify.

Honestly eternal sunshine is Actually a Great Album Sure it Isn’t going to hold a candle To Her Best Work But the Organic Production Makes quite an Blissful Experience And the Lows here Are Better than The Lows on Positions
Overall a Strong 9 to a Light 10 i Wanted a Solid album and Thats Exactly what i Got

[mjtubeme]

I'm not really following the drama.
With that being said, I think this is her best album! I just fell in love with it.

[sleepdeprivedpikachu]

honestly i wonder what ariana could do with jack antonoff, imagine her on some production like maroon or snow on the beach, or a good deal of lana’s last album, it would be fascinating to see her more in that lane

There was a time that I used to think Sweetener was Ariana’s worst album but after Positions and Eternal Sunshine, I can appreciate it more. It’s not perfect but atleast it has more nuance and the singles (minus The Light Is Coming) were killer. This album just feels like a companion piece to go alongside Wicked.

[alex_flamer]

I think i know why the label keeps choosing the wrong songs as singles. It's because certain deep cuts are too good. Therefore, they feel as though they won't make as much money, especially if they're not radio friendly. They need to pick songs that the least dynamic and play to the lowest common denominator of the general public who don't really care about music.

[xshadowscreamx]

She needs a new producer and change of genre.

[natalie_rose]

The best thing I can say about this album is that I like it more than Positions... But it's still meh for me.. personally I've always thought she was best at singles & performances. Never thought she was a strong album artist.

[ThisCommentWroteItself]

So often I watch Mark's reviews these days and it's like... I don't see your Twitter feed dude, who are you so mad at? What are you even talking about?

[purple]

It's not her best, but I like it a lot. It's better than Positions though. 7/10
