sweetener vs thank u, next

[wjr15]

Now that we've had time to digest both albums, which Ariana album released over the past year do you prefer?


For me, I prefer sweetener. It's less cohesive than thank u, next but the highs on sweetener are higher imo.

[ampersand]

thank u, next--and it's not close. I never really got into sweetener beyond the singles and less than a handful of the album tracks.

Thank U, Next

I like "Sweetener" singles more, but TUN has MUCH better non-singles.

*no tears left to cry is one of the best pop songs of the decade imo

[Dreams]

Agreed that the highlights of S are stronger than those of TU,N which is why I vote for the former. Both are weak overall albums, though, IMO.

[yuh yuh]

Both great albums full of amazing music but voted thank u,next. As an album, it's stronger.

[samo🦕]

thank u, next, just about. NTLTC is a lot better than anything on TUN, but successful is probably my least favourite song from any of her main albums.

[Caviar]

Going with Sweetener for the following reasons:

breathin'
no tears
successful
get well soon

Iconic album.

Look, thank u, next is easily the stronger album... there's nothing horrible on it, while there's a lot of crap on sweetener.

But, credit where it's due, the best stuff on sweetener is better than anything on thank u, next.

thank u, next

[Au$tin]

I believe sweetener has a few songs that are ahead of everything on thank u, next, but thank u, next is the more cohesive album and the one I'm likely to return to more as a whole than sweetener.

[Exclusive]

sweetener, but it's not by a big margin.

[Ling-Ling]

thank u, next. Ariana and Pharrell just didn't gel at all IMO.

[gabe]

the lows on thank u, next are much higher than the lows on sweetener, so for me it's TUN
