I’ve been putting this off cos I really don’t wanna listen to her first two albums again but.... let’s listen to Janet.

Let’s go inoffensive boring 80s music

Say You Do

You’ll Never Find is also very mid and uninspired. I like the horns though

Why must it be 4 mins+

I've not tweeted about the rest of the album cos honestly nothing has stood out. Maybe the second album will fair better.

Let’s push through.

This synth in Don't Stand Another Chance is.... so jarring

Thank God that one is over chyle

The synth choice on Two To The Power Of Love is also a choice. Dear God no

So bad synth choices are just a thing on this album?

And of course the song with the most annoying synth is 6+ mins.

I am not having fun. Lol

Hold Back The Tears is the first song that hasn’t been actively offensive to me

Okay I'm talking about these first two albums together. There is no identity in either them and having the hindsight of Janet's albums after these two doesn't help

The first album sounds like any R&B act of the time could of done it and the second album sounds like any pop act of the time could have done it. Difference is, the first album is mid and boring, the second album is BAD

A PALETTE CLEANSER! LETS GET INTO THE MEALS NOW!

CONTROL! The changer! The moment! The experience!

How you start an album people!

GOT MY OWN MIIIND

Btw, this is a great song to play when you’re doing cardio

GIMMIE A BEAT!

Listen, the hunger Janet had on this album

WHOS THAT EATIN THAT NASTY FOOD!?

Funnily enough, What Have You Done For Me Lately is the song that doesn’t do much for me. It’s a whole minute too long imo

It’s still going...

Back to the meals! You Can Be Mine

Repetitive af but the beat is hot

Pleasure Principle! It’s time to hit the choreography!

ITS THE PRINCIPLE OF PLEASURE

When I Think Of You. A number one single!

He Doesn’t Know I’m Alive. Giving 80s high school realness

Let’s wait awhiiiillle befoorre weee gooo tooo faaarrrr

Let’s Wait Awhile is funny in hindsight cos Janet went from this to ‘ILL MAKE YOU CALL OUT MY NAME, ILL ASK WHO IT BELONGS TO’ in 2 albums dhdhdhhdh

And ending. A groove.

Off topic but when Tinashe sampled this for How Many Times >>>>>>>>

Now let’s be real. Control is Janet’s TRUE debut album. And what a debut it is. Wow. The way this album is the blueprint for so many black female artists. Wow, the start of a legacy. I still love this album
