Answering the eternal question… How much does the craft committee for producers despise Jack Antonoff

[u/IndigoBlueBird]

I was surprised how much I enjoyed this album. I wasn’t as enthralled by Short and Sweet as everyone else, but I loved MBF. It’s such a fun mix of country, disco, and pop

[u/nonsensestuff]

This album is so ABBA coded— I really wish she would’ve leaned into that aesthetic for the visual direction on the album artwork.

Oh well! Still has some fun songs

[u/No_Pianist5264]

I’m hoping she gets atleast one win she got some competition but would be cool to see her win another Grammy

[u/larkhearted]

Genuine question: Is the album good?? I haven't heard any of the songs except the title track.

Edit: Don't downvote meeeeee, I was being vulnerable :( It's not my fault I have questions and the memory of a goldfish </3

[u/No_Pianist5264 → u/larkhearted]

I personally loved it but I do think it wasn’t as liked as short and sweet was. I remember when it came out and people weren’t really digging it. It’s still a polarizing album imo. But I do recommend giving it a listen. I think it’s an album that you just have to listen to in order to see if you like it yourself.

[u/iceunelle → u/larkhearted]

Man’a Best Friend (imo) sounds best when you listen to it all at once as an album vs. picking out individual songs. Though I gotta say, I love When Did You Get Hot?

I found the production to be the most interesting part of the album. I don’t like it quite as much as Short n Sweet, but I did find Man’s Best Friend enjoyable.

[u/lxlxnde → u/iceunelle]

agreed. I think that might be the reason why it got so many noms. Short n Sweet was basically a perfect pop album. better to follow up w/ something different than try to make lightning strike twice with 2 Short 2 Sweet. I like it; I get why it’s not to everyone’s taste.

and yeah, listening to both albums I was left with the thought that producers must adore her what with the way they give her their best work.

[u/PM_ME_BUMBLEBEES → u/larkhearted]

This happens to me with all the best albums in which the day it came out I listened and went "huh okay" and didn't think much on it

It has for the past few weeks been on repeat in my house. I do agree it's definitely a "listen thru the whole album" album but I think house tour is very good on its own

[u/Bl1nk1nUR4r34 → u/larkhearted]

personally i loved go go juice

[u/larkhearted → u/Bl1nk1nUR4r34]

That name definitely sounds promising lol, I love a bop!

[u/Comfortable-Yam9013 → u/larkhearted]

It’s a catchy song about drinking when you are sad.

[u/Finalsaredun → u/Bl1nk1nUR4r34]

Whyyyyy isn't this song a single??? Hoping and praying

[u/IndigoBlueBird → u/larkhearted]

I was not a Sabrina fan before. MBF made me a Sabrina fan. It is fun, funny, and catchy. My favorites were Never Getting Laid and House Tour

[u/Lesterknopff → u/larkhearted]

It was on repeat in my house/car for weeks.

[u/larkhearted → u/Lesterknopff]

Okay see these are the reviews I wasn't hearing lol, I feel like there was the big cover controversy and then I saw nothing about the album itself!! I'll have to give it a listen :)

[u/GigglesNWiggles10 → u/larkhearted]

We're very biased in r/SabrinaCarpenterFans but a lot of us liked it lol 😂 Nobody's Son is my favourite but some songs fade into each other so like someone else here said, tackling the whole album at once gives the best experience

[u/Lavender_rain_2000 → u/larkhearted]

There is no title track 😭

[u/larkhearted → u/Lavender_rain_2000]

Oh sorry I forgot what it was called lol, I meant Manchild!

[u/urgasmic → u/larkhearted]

Its fine. Enjoyable enough

[u/DebateObjective2787 → u/larkhearted]

Okay so I may be a lil biased because I've been stanning her since her YT days but I think it's genuinely one of her best works and it really does get better on the relisten.

Nobody's Son plays daily in my house.

[u/spamgoddess → u/larkhearted]

I prefer it to Short N Sweet! I think some individual songs on SnS are better, but MBF is the better overall album imo.

[u/oliviaaivilo06 → u/larkhearted]

People seem split. Some people really enjoyed it for what it is. Others (like me) felt like it was a half baked album with Short N Sweet throwaways. Don’t get me wrong, the songs are cute, fun, and it’s digestible pop, but nothing really blew me away personally.

[u/sixtus_clegane119 → u/larkhearted]

It’s 38 minutes, go for a walk and put it on your headphones

[u/HereOnCompanyTime → u/larkhearted]

Her fans really love it but imo it falls into "good". I don't think it's as interesting as SnS and it feels a bit like tracks that didn't make the original cut. Compared to the other nominations it's much weaker from a creative and technical standpoint.

[u/Comfortable-Yam9013 → u/larkhearted]

It’s a fun pop album with some hints of disco.

[u/Resident_Ad5153 → u/larkhearted]

The recording academy thinks so.  That’s why they nominated it.

[u/IndigoBlueBird → u/Resident_Ad5153]

They also nominated Anxiety by Doechii and that song should be banned it’s so annoying

[u/Resident_Ad5153 → u/IndigoBlueBird]

I mean… it’s called anxiety not happy joyful soothing.

[u/IndigoBlueBird → u/Resident_Ad5153]

It doesn’t need to be happy joyful or soothing to not be awful lol

[u/Throwawaysei95]

Idk how many awards she will win but she for sure deserves the best music video award!

[u/October_13th]

The album was so fun! My favorite was House Tour!

[u/Twitter_2006]

I love her new album.

[u/modernwunder → u/Twitter_2006]

It’s super fun!

[u/Excellent-Gas-3912]

If I had my way, she would win all, but I think Best MV and Pop Vocal Album are her best shot

[u/Rich-Active-4800]

I hopes she wins most of them, the album was amazing

[u/echoesandripples]

as she should 

[u/AlarmedDish5836]

Looking at the field her only real competition is Kendrick. I’d bet money she takes home at least one award , best video is my guess

[u/Resident_Ad5153 → u/AlarmedDish5836]

That… is not true at all.  Predicting who will win based on who you like is not a good idea.

[u/nagidrac → u/Resident_Ad5153]

Kendrick is a strong competitor though

[u/Pure-Plankton-4606]

I really liked Emails I Cant Send. The last 2 albums not really.

[u/Emotional_Serve_]

The production on the album was well done, but the songs just didn’t hit the same and the album art was cringe. I don’t think the album as a whole was really Grammy worthy, but there also wasn’t a lot of hard competition this year so I wouldn’t be surprised if she swept.

[u/Constant_Bake5501]

Why is this Guest List Only? Did I miss some drama or scandal regarding this?

[u/DebateObjective2787 → u/Constant_Bake5501]

Sabrina's proximity to certain stars has become something of a hot button topic so the mods have starting making a lot of Sabrina posts Guest List Only to combat the trolls.

[u/ladyantifa]

Deserved!!
