I think it's a pretty great album. It loses something after about 30 listens but I still give it a High 3. Three point eight maybe. So I'll round up to 4.

Not as good as Archandroid, but she set a very high bar with that album.

^The ArchAndroid dealt with more complicated themes, symbolism and production. The Electric Lady has a more mass appeal sound and more radio friendly cuts. The Electric Lady is still very artistic but not as complex as the ArchAndroid.

What did you think about the album?

4/5. This album sort of became weaker for me as I entered Suite V of the album. There were too many slower RnB songs and I sort of got bored. I definitely think The ArchAndroid was a stronger album overall. Although I don't think the reason I got bored was because of it being rubbish, but that maybe too much RnB can throw me off.

To answer your question from a year ago, I enjoy the album quite a bit, but it really has nothing on The ArchAndroid. I saw her live, that butt on her, holy cow. Couldn't handle it.
