Rushed albums that sounded great / Albums that took years to

[wilson7]

Name same albums that were rushed didn't take long to record that sounded great and albums that took years to record but were really bad.


You can also talk about if they were successful or not and the reason why they were or weren't.

Tina Turner's Private Dancer album was recorded in a couple of weeks and is great.

Justin Timberlake's Man of the Woods took a couple of years to record and was disappointing.

I don't know exactly how long it took to record Private Dancer, but it used a number of different producers. Altogether they and Tina made a great record, but I seriously doubt that they were all available and readily on call to complete everything in a "couple of weeks". More likely it took several months if not a whole year.

Yeah, two weeks is hard to believe... Here's an article though from Rolling Stone that discusses the recording and production process--see third-to-last paragraph.

thank u, next was a fast write & record, but it's one of the better albums of 2019.

B'Day was recorded in about two weeks, and it was a great album.

The first one I thought of. It's easily her strongest solo album of the 2000's.

Britney was working on the follow up to Femme Fatale for over a year, but I think most of that was scrapped and Britney Jean was actually rushed. So I don't know if it was actually worked on for over a year, but if it was, it shouldn't be as messy as it as and a blemish on her otherwise great discography. Meanwhile, Circus was rushed when they realized they had a hit with "Womanizer," and it's a great album.

Most definitely my fave out of her other albums.

[Private Dancer]

Like A Prayer was recorded in 2 weeks and it's ok but not Madonna's strongest.

Rainbow was recorded very fast and it's not my favorite Mariah Carey album nor is it her strongest.

[Lost In Musical Reverie]

Not an album, but I just learned from Billboard BREAKDOWN that "GIRL LIKE ME" (Black Eyed Peas ft. Shakira) had been in the works since 2008, and well...it's pretty bad.
