Re: Discipline has leaked!!!
OK, I've listened to the leak (don't worry, I plan on actually buying it) and this is what I think....
First off, I love the intro track. So cool.
"Feedback", the single, is awesome. Such a club banger. It's got a bit of MJ's "Ghosts" in there, but for the most part this is a true Janet song. I love it.
"LUV" is great. I like it almost as much as "Feedback". OMG, I just found out it's produced by Darkchild. Same with Feedback. That's...interesting. I never really thought much of Darkchild as a songwriter/producer judging by his work on Vince, but these two songs are amazing. Maybe MJ working with Darkchild on his upcoming album wouldn't be so bad.
"Rollercoaster" has great lyrics. But it's the first song first far that I haven't been blown away by.
lol @ Bathroom Break
"Rock With U" sounds like a tribute to her brother IMO. From the start, "I want to rock with you", those are lyrics straight out of Michael's song with the same name. This is a cool song and I definitely think it's some sort of a gesture to Michael.
Things just keep getting better and better. I'm loving "2nite". Such an addictive synth part and guitar. Damn, this song is good. It sounds very OTW to be honest. This is my favourite so far. wow.
"Can't Be Good" is freaking me out. She sounds exactly like Michael in parts. Lol, seriously. Is that Michael? Maybe Janet was sick that day and Michael filled in for her. lol. I know they are brother and sister but damn. Particularly at the start, she sounds exactly like Michael. Come to think of it, this reminds me so much of an MJ song but I can't put my finger on which one. Hmm. Does this remind anyone else of any MJ songs?
I love the guitar at the start and end of "Never Letchu Go". This is such a classic R&B/pop ballad. Reminds me of those 90s R&B/pop ballads. But to be honest, this hasn't wowed me like "Feedback", "LUV" and "2nite". It's nice. Just nice.
"Greatest X" is amazing. It's absolutely heart-wrenching. I am actually speechless after this song. Give me a few more listens to process a better response to this song. lol.
So Much Betta is interesting. The distorted voice is cool. I love the part around the 1 minute mark and right at the end. Now that's cool.
Missy's rapping in "The 1" is so good. I love the percussion in this song too. As well as the orchestra hit synths. The "really wanna ah" stuff is cool.
Im sorry to say, but I'm up to "What's Ur Name" and I'm starting to lose interest.
Don't worry, false alarm. "The Meaning" interlude grabbed my attention and then it led into the maybe the best song on the album, "Discipline". It's very powerful. So sexy in such a different way. Damn, there's even orgasm noises.
So I'm now listening to "Curtains", a decent album closer. Time to recap on the album. This is a great album that has reignited my love for Janet. I've definitely enjoyed this album more than her previous few attempts. My favourite song overall is probably 2nite. But it's a bit hard to say at this point. I probably give this album a 7.5/10. In short, I really like it.
