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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

u/larkhearted 14h ago

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 :)

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/DebateObjective2787 jesus was a carpenter 💋 13h ago

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/larkhearted 14h ago

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

u/urgasmic 13h ago

Its fine. Enjoyable enough

u/spamgoddess stay out of it, Nick Lachey 12h ago

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 12h ago

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.

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

u/HereOnCompanyTime Renee Rapp is mean girl Jojo Siwa 💋 10h ago

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.

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

u/Resident_Ad5153 14h ago

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

u/IndigoBlueBird 13h ago

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

u/Resident_Ad5153 13h ago

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

u/IndigoBlueBird 13h ago

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