I can't call it. I like it. But I need some of the songs to STICK. Theres some great stuff on here, but she could have made some of these longer and outright skipped some of these. I expected more slower and moody ballads. She seemed to have something for everything on here.

I need more listens for sure.

She's "rapping" a LOT on here. It doesn't sound bad, but it's very Lauryn Hill-ish.

Is an album in the sense of "here's my creative production" but it's not cohesive.

That's exactly how I feel. Although most of the songs are 3 mins, they still feel too short. At least 3-4 songs could have used a bridge then brought the chorus back around or a fadeout. It may be my "old" ears but an extra 30-45 seconds makes these songs "stick" imo

I like it, but mostly because I feel like I've always wanted a black chick to run with that white girl pop sound and see what she does with it. SZA did a faithful enough job on three of them joints that I'm pretty sure she's gonna expand her fanbase.

There is a lot of filler on this but the good records are really really good. Gone Girl is a monster.

My only real gripe is I'm not a fan of this type of staccato talkin sing song up down fukk a melody type of singing that she popularised.

Like imagine Patti Labelle trying to cover a SZA song, she might legit vomit with the vocal arrangement. But I get it, it's what young people are into these days so I try to listen to it with that ear.
