A Seat at the Table

I don't want to

No likey.

Standout Tracks- "Don't You Wait," "Where Do We Go" Lyrics/Vocals- 2/5 Instrumentals- 1/5 Vibes- 3/5 Overall- 1/5 R&B is not really my thing, so already that was difficult, but I went into this with an open mind. And while the lyrics were beautiful, I found the style of the vocals detracted from the lyrics. The instruments were also very boring, each song kinda blended into the next and none of them stood out. I wanted to enjoy this album, but I just couldn't wait for it to be over.

Nice that her sister got her a job, I guess.

I know what it’s for and why it’s here but forgive me, I just did not enjoy the music.

Wow. Astonishingly bland. But I guess little sis would not be ignored.

Tää ei kyllä saanu paikkaa mun pöydästä. Ehkä olosuhteet oli väärät kuunnella ja voin kuvitella tän taustalle jossain, mut luoja ku oli tylsä. Skippasin jokaisen biisin ja silti levy kesti liian pitkään.

Beyonce light: Solange's "A Seat at the Table" is a weak attempt at earning personal recognition. Based on the title alone, it sounds like Solange is trying to prove to the world she is her own singer/songwriter/performer, to define her own place in the world and not just live in the shadow of her older and much more successful sister. While the sentiment is understandable, this album does not meet par. The album is very underwhelming. Solange's music gives uninspired vibes - a cheap mimicry of Beyonce's style and sound with half-baked social commentaries. With this album, Solange earned her seat at this table (https://wonderboxjo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/little-tikes-large-picnic-table-primary.png).

Whoever put this on this list should be embarrassed

Neo-Soul is one of the genres that just annoy me (except Tyler, The Creator) and idk why

I'm guessing this album was included in the list to demonstrate that having a famous and musically gifted sister doesn't translate into personal success. Neither original, nor clever, nor profound this album is Solange's clay-ashtray version of a number of musical tropes clumsily shoe horned together. I'd expect more from any artist, and a lot more from the people she would have had access to - the whole thing feels lazy and token. Regarding the interludes - Musicians can sometimes be a source of wisdom and help the endeavour for peace, but the overwhelming majority are self-satisfied airheads with an axe to grind - this is the second one. Assume I gave it 0 stars, but that's not an option.

Fuck no..this is terrible... who made this list?

I tried to listen to it and none of it stuck with me. I didn't like it.

Hope others like it, because this album certainly isn't for me.

No real substance to this album so far, the most popular song (Cranes in the sky) makes me want to fall asleep. The interludes kind of stink. The beats are very one note and as basic as they come. This album felt like it took an eternity to come to an end. Won't be revisiting this any time soon.

Oh, its that whiny vocal style in front of mediocre song writing and its way too long. All the anti-boxes ticked

This was really boring. Each song sounded so similar to each other, and her voice bored me. Definitely not my type of music.

Well that was boring. I had no idea who it was until I read wiki, but I knew something was up when the album cover was just a picture of such a plain jane. Yeah I'm a pig for pointing it out, but that's just not how the entertainment industry works. You don't get to plant your wholly unremarkable face on an album cover like that unless you've received a solid leg up, ya know? Anyway it was just lo-fi r&b that droned on for a FAIR WHILE. Artsy and directionless. Interludes that the media would call brave (probably the reason the album didn't instantly disappear like other vanity projects do). Guest appearances by rappers with the IQ of river mud ("put dat drank in dat red cup thurrrrr"). I gave Madonna a 1/5 yesterday but that album at least had a dance beat. This didn't even have that. 1/5.

Soooooooooooo bad. This is the definition of a 1

Beyonce sucks and this is even worse. This only exists because of another shit pop singer and it's obvious. I'm hard pressed to think of a worse record on this list. Why is this on the list of 1001 records I HAVE to hear? Wtf? I really struggled to force myself to get through this. It's all the same. It's OBSESSED with race in the weirdest way. And nothing on here is worth my time. (Or yours)

I heard the first note and immediately dread and regret the fact that there are 21 tracks of what I now expect will be modern RNB-- my least favorite genre. Some of those tracks are less than a minute, so there's no need to have a defibrillator on site. I mean honestly, if I wanted to go to church, I wouldn't be an atheist. That's really my bone to pick from RNB that I can't parse it out of gospel church music since both are so steeped in the same tradition. At one time, RNB had its own identity and then those lines at some point inexplicably blurred and the genre expired. All the Interludes were the best part because the singing wasn't very present, but even these weren't very interesting and didn't lift the album above the static. Junie and Don't Touch My Hair were the low points to me. I was surprised Q-Tip would associate with this project. Terrible for me.

I didn't like it, was ut me or the record I don't know but one of us is wrong, and I ain't apologising first.

Pointless. I didn't need an album's-worth to confirm that this is not for me

I'd never heard of Solange, turns out she's Beyoncé's sister... pretty much sums it up.

She has a great voice, but I found this album super boring. The ‘Tina Taught Me’ interlude was interesting.

Not what I like, too soft and boring.

I had no idea no idea who Solange was before listening to this album. As I was listening to it, I kept thinking it sounded a lot like the most boring songs that Beyoncé ever sang. It wasn’t until I looked her up and realized it is her sister. Not my style of music at all. Too slow, too boring. Even the breaks and cuts in the song grated on me. I feel for her though, as it’s gotta be hard to be in the music business with Beyoncé as your sister.

I only like the interludes 1

Tiny Tim did it better

Chato pra caralho

So boring I nearly fell asleep.

Odio a Solange

Didn't connect to this at all. Seemed like all filler.

Another album that has nothing in it for me. I'm obviously not the target demo for this album, but it was so boring that I'm not sure how there's anyone who is in the target demo.

If you hear one song on this album, you've heard them all. The lyrics are better than the dull songs but lyrics can't save this album from being a dud.

Ok

Scott Kelly's wet dream

shit

Not for me, which is a nice way of saying this was hot garbage.

En la portada del disco tiene cara de que ni a ella le gustó su disco.

Terminé con la misma cara de la portada del disco

So bad for my taste!

Nope

Finds one note and doesn’t go anywhere from there. Boring.

Elements of NAO and FKA Twigs but she does it worse than both. Nothing stand out. Only memorable thing about this album is it is by Beyonces sister

Not my thing
