I have been waiting forever it seems for the album to drop. I've listened to the album several times now and this will be in heavy rotation on my Ipod.
Favorite Cuts :
Dance or Die - this is such a great song that makes you feel like dancing
Mushrooms and Roses: reminds me of a song Lenny Kravitz would make, it's rock and roll with that electric guitar but kinda psychedelic with the autotune.
Oh Maker : I'm surprised that I love it so much but I do.
Locked Inside : I love the mini-Michael Jackson sample toward the beginning.
Cold War: is just an awesome song lyrically.
Tightrope: of course has that James Brown feel to the song and the coreography in the video.
Come Alive : Crazy energy. I love the electric guitar riffs in it.
Neon Valley Street: Her voice in this has a crystal clear quality. It's so smooth and melodic and crisp. I just love it. Very sentimental piece.
57821: Has an anime feel to it but it's so damn beautiful vocally.

I'd give it 8/10. -
It's about time.

Was listening to this on the train the other day, great album. If you haven't heard it yet then go do it now
-
i was never able to get into her, but i think she is talented and i'm glad it seems like she's getting her shine on now.
-
This album sounds very good sonically. I’m impressed.
-
People especially female artists really need to stop trying to take styles from the movie Metropolis. -
On Letterman. She absolutely smashed it. Watch out for the Diddy cameo:

If that doesn't convince you to get the album then nothing else will -

Yes she did hopefully she'll be able to garner some well deserved attention- nationally/worldwide. I think the performance was just fine without Diddy. -
Anybody wanna throw out some stand out tracks? I dont really do Rnb like that but she comes from DF backgrounds and Ive heard some previous work to know shes talented.

well damn........... -
damn she killed it gotta cop this joint
-
Copped it the day it dropped.
Dope album.
She's an example of when creativity, talent, and courage meet. Very rare and unique artist. -
I wonder how her sales are doing. I picked up the last copy target had last week.

In this case, it would make sense use that style since it was intentional for the album to follow a Metropolis-like theme musically. -
listening to it right now. so far its fire
-
I hate tossing that C word out so early, but after a full week of spinning this.............
...aiight put it like this, The ArchAndroid is one of those albums that will still be in discussion 20 years from now. Props to Diddy for signing her...she's gonna be around for a long time.
I'm gonna refrain from using that C word for now, but this is far and away the best album I've heard all year at least. -

Maybe. Its still a troubling trend. -
Very dope album.
I love Janelle Monae.
I hope she does big things.
