NEXT LEVEL album thoughts

[js_surrealism]

I'm just gonna cross-post what I wrote about the album somewhere else:

This ranks way over (m)u, Guilty (what a hot mess of an album!) and RAINBOW for me. I can't decide if I like this better than Secret, which I thought was a GRATE album.

I was hoping for an electro-pop album, but this sounds a bit more like a straight up dance album to me. But no matter, it's still pretty darned awesome. I can't believe that there isn't more love for "rollin'"! For me, it was definitely one of the more outstanding tracks on this record. "NEXT LEVEL" was definitely the weakest track; it was -nice- but that's about it, I don't feel particularly compelled to listen to it and it certainly didn't deserve the honour of being named title track, imo.

Everything else was a mix of -great- beats and meticulous production. I'm not sure why there are so many haters, perhaps these people are just incapable of liking well-executed pop music, which is a shame, but to each their own, I guess!
