Which One Is the Better Album: Memoirs v. Elusive

[poSLAYtions 5,694]

Based on:

- Album title (+ its theme coherence)

- Album artwork

- Songs (melodies, lyrics, arrangements + production)

- Studio vocal performances

- Replay value

Taking all aspects to consideration, which album is better? Memoirs of a Half-baked Album? Or Her. She Is MC...The Elusive Project?

[jrdn 26,669]

Memoirs easily. One of her best, especially lyrically. 

[Mario Spears 5,235]

I LOVE Mariah, shes one of my faves BUT MOAIA has to be her worst album.

Me I Am Mariah is actually good

Her most basic songs. Dreamlover is overshadowed by Fantasy and Heartbreaker. 

[Royale 72,016]

Betcha Gon' Know vs. Cry.

Obsessed vs. Faded

H.A.T.E.U. vs. Dedicated

Candy Bling vs. #Beautiful

Ribbon vs. Thirsty 

Inseparable vs. Make It Look Good

Standing O vs. You're Mine (Eternal)

It's A Wrap vs. You Don't Know What To Do (both very good though)

Up Out My Face + Reprise vs. Supernatural

More Than Just Friends vs. Meteorite

The Impossible + Reprise vs. Camouflage

Angel (Prelude) vs. Money

To be quite honest, neither album do anything for me.

They both don't give me goosebumps, but the more diverse production of Chanteuse won me. Angel was too cohesive by sound, whereas Chanteuse was cohesive by theme.

The fact that you picked Hashtag over Candy Bling...questionable. Standing O is the better song though, however that fucking production on the chorus is very dated and unimpressive. I never liked You're Mine.

Standing O is legit the worst song on the album. No other song can't win against this one.  I listen to Beautiful more often so I went for that as well.

Memoirs has the better aesthetic and lyrics but elusive has the better sound and has more Replay value (memoirs' singles are better than the singles from elusive

[Strobo 2,308]

Memoirs is more cohesive, but The-Dream's sound really sorta ran it's course for me during the album. Her pen was on FIRE here though and it's definitely underrated in terms of songwriting. Her voice was also not as overly edited as MIAM, but MIAM had really diverse production and some killer songs on it.

It's close but I think I'll have to vote MIAM for this one

[V For Vendetta 7,211]

 

- Album title (+ its theme coherence) = MOAIA

- Album artwork = MIAMTEC

- Songs (melodies, lyrics, arrangements + production) = MIAMTEC

- Studio vocal performances = MOAIA

- Replay value = MIAMTEC
