The direction was a miss, the lyrics are generic, the sound was underwhelming and messy, and the album was overall just plain boring. The one thing that saved this album from being a total disaster is the fact that Ariana Grande is a good vocalist, but besides that, theres really no point listening to this over her previous album Thank u next. I had high expectations before i listened, but halfway through it began to feel like a chore forcing myself to listen to the rest of the album. Save your time and dont waste 40 minutes like i did
