Early morning surprise! I recorded this reaction yesterday due to family coming in this weekend.
Also be aware that it takes me quite a while to warm up to the album, so if you're a huge fan of SOS, please be patient with ol' Bob. Enjoy!

This was the first time I fell asleep during a Bob React. Would have been better if I wasn't driving in I-95 rush hour traffic 😜 Nah I made it home first, then fell asleep when I sat down to finish the react. But yeah it isn't cuz it's boring or bad exactly but definitely sleepy.

2023-03-02 20:51:34 +0000 UTCThere is an amazing 13-15 song album within this album. Unfortunately I think with streaming artists don't have as much incentive to cut tracks out because more streaming numbers. I do think SZA is a great writer, she could almost be a rapper.

2023-02-25 01:50:56 +0000 UTCSame! I consider CTRL to be one of my all time favorite records. Every song on it is different and great imo. For this album tho, I've listened to it quiet a bit but.. There's only a handful of songs that I think keeps the same unique feeling to them as the CTRL songs. And this album has received so much more popularity. I think it's just pop value maybe? I dunno, but I def agree with your take.

2023-02-25 00:54:38 +0000 UTCtrueee! 2000 was great, amongst my top 3 for 2022. I would LOVE to see a B4.DA.$$ reaction tho. Timeless album

2023-02-25 00:52:30 +0000 UTCbeing a 22 year-old woman still grieving a 6 month relationship that ended a year and a half ago i identify a lot to this album lmao. the repetion in the first 2/3 third of the album is accurate, it’s me boring all of my friends over this heartbreak for a year. the awareness and at the same time self-inflicted disrespect shown in the lyrics when she mentions how she always goes back to her ex is also relatable to me. and i think the chorus on forgiveless is a reference to kill bill, she says i’ve told you before it won’t end how you want it to with the i might kill my ex line. to sum it up i just think you’re really not the demographic meant to relate to the lyrics but i love that despite that you still enjoyed some of the music. a lot of people in your case will just view the album as silly heartbreak/love songs

2023-02-24 23:16:41 +0000 UTCi dont think mr moral is safe, especially the content covered, it was a risky album to release, and was met with a lot of controversy

2023-02-24 22:22:55 +0000 UTCInterested to hear your thoughts. As a huge fan of her previous albums, Im not a huge fan of this album. Although there are a handful of awesome tracks like the Pheobe bridgers song
sam
2023-02-24 22:19:08 +0000 UTCThis is the result of SZA and her anxiety. I can definitely relate to it. Hell, when i go to buy coffee I can literally sit in the isle for entirely way too long trying to decide which one to get. lol I could only imagine if I had to pick songs over others I had made for an album. lol So as I agree, album wise CTRL is far more accessible and concise, but I also understand why she released so much on this one. It is the perfect album to make your own personal playlists though.

2023-02-24 21:53:07 +0000 UTCPhoebe named her first album "Stranger in the Alps" after the censored-for-cable line from The Big Lebowski (https://youtu.be/LCcKBcZzGdA), so she's a fan.

2023-02-24 19:24:45 +0000 UTCAlso I think you're take aways are spot on. I feel this album is a little bloated and the sequencing isn't great either. If she cut a quarter of the songs off and rearranged it a little it would be solid.

2023-02-24 19:16:01 +0000 UTCI'll echo what most of the comments are saying about this album. It's got some great tracks, but overall it's a bloated album. I haven't gone back to it in over a month. Isaiah Rashad - Cilvia Demo gotta be the next TDE album you do. I think you would absolutely love Zay
Alex VonBerg
2023-02-24 18:37:17 +0000 UTClove this album! Definitely not on my first listen. I felt like that front middle run was just a bit too boring and similar and didn’t really stand out. but now it have some of my favorite tracks on it. I can see why people say it’s too long, but i really think this album has a little bit of everything. And considering this is most likely her last album ever, if not for a very very long time, I feel like she just wanted her fans to have a lot of music before she left.

2023-02-24 18:22:03 +0000 UTCNow that the honeymoon phase is over, this album is way too long and overall not as memorable as her debut. Btw listen to the black panther soundtrack.

2023-02-24 17:35:01 +0000 UTCIt's funny that Mr Morale got the same reaction of it being safe. I think it's unfair on SZA though because she was an innovator in the R&B/Pop field and a lot of people have come out over the years co-opting her style and sound. So now she sounds "safe", even though she really isn't.

2023-02-24 17:32:48 +0000 UTCI had a very similar first reaction of the album, then for a while it got better over repeated listens, and now having just listened to it along with you it's back down to "just ok". It feels like there are 5-6 tracks that contain 90 % of the production effort that went into making the whole album. Thinking of Kill Bill, Ghost In The Machine, Shirt and Good Days especially. Compare that to CTRL where (in my opinion) every track is musically and lyrically interesting.

2023-02-24 17:18:28 +0000 UTCand also HOLY SHIT NEW SZA REACTION LETS GOOO
Austin
2023-02-24 17:02:51 +0000 UTCI might get hate for this but you really aren’t missing anything from not listening to Yeat lol. he has some amazing beats sometimes but I just do not get the hype as much as others do, and based on how you feel about WLR I dunno if you would be the biggest Yeat fan lmao, he’s probably honestly going to fade out with music trends

2023-02-24 16:17:22 +0000 UTCAnother awesome reaction. just want to throw Joey bada$$ out there again. Would be a fun reaction to watch. His release last year “2000” was one of the better albums of the year.

2023-02-24 14:18:22 +0000 UTCI appreciate that when SZA returned after 5 years she gave us a lot of material but kind of wish she had paired it down to a 14 track or so release just for a tighter full listen. But it's surprisingly consistent for being as long as it is and I really can't complain about more SZA rather than less.
