Very rarely do I make a thread for a specific album, but I feel like this one definitely deserves its own thread. This album is awesome all around. That's pretty much all there is say.

Re: Janelle Monae - The ArchAndroid
I've heard of one track she did with Chester French of their Jacques jam mixtape, and it was good. What's the vibe on the album? Mostly rnb?Cameras or guns, one of them is gonna shoot me to death. -
Re: Janelle Monae - The ArchAndroid
Its kind of all over the place as far as pop goes, though its her own style and not "all over in the place" as far as mainstream radio goes. There's r&b, some rock, various styles of pop, a little bit of swing, etc. Its a great album that really isn't confined to one style, but it flows together amazingly.

Man, I cannot stop listening to "Faster" and "Oh, Maker". And "Tightrope" is pure GENIUS! She's gonna be a force for years to come. Just 24 yrs old.Comment

Re: Janelle Monae - The ArchAndroid
Best album I've heard in a long time. She's an amazing performer too.
I'd have a hard time skipping any track but "Dance or Die", "Faster", "Locked Inside", "Cold War", "Oh Maker", "Neon Valley Street", "Wondaland" and "Say You'll Go" are the standouts to me. This is the only album I've been listening to since I got it last week.PS: You guys are great.

The cd is going to be in my car for awhile. Other than the Black Keys' Brothers, I can't think of an album I'm more excited to listen to again and again.

Re: Janelle Monae - The ArchAndroid
Check out Metropolis: The Chase Suite as well. The ArchAndroid is a continuation of the story that was started in The Chase Suite and they flow very nicely together.PS: You guys are great.

Locked Inside is so awesome. I love the mix of MJ and Stevie Wonder.

Re: Janelle Monae - The ArchAndroid
She also has another album called "The Audition". It's a little more on the soulful/R&B side. She's definitely one of my favorite artists right now. I'm actually going to see her, Lupe and Erykah Badu at the Greek tomorrow. Pretty excited about that. Can't wait to see her high octane performance.Comment

Re: Janelle Monae - The ArchAndroid
Her and Erykah would be awesome together.
