    Ya veo porque le llaman "pollutions" esta wea es intragable y malisima, lo unico que lo salva es The Weeknd y Doja Cat porque sin colaboraciones y sin aprovecharse de la cultura afroamericana Ariana sería un fracaso, en fin ojala Ariana aprenda a hacer musica y deje de comprar canciones prefabricadas que suenan igual una a la otra, positions está a un millón de distancia de sweetener, suYa veo porque le llaman "pollutions" esta wea es intragable y malisima, lo unico que lo salva es The Weeknd y Doja Cat porque sin colaboraciones y sin aprovecharse de la cultura afroamericana Ariana sería un fracaso, en fin ojala Ariana aprenda a hacer musica y deje de comprar canciones prefabricadas que suenan igual una a la otra, positions está a un millón de distancia de sweetener, su ultimo album bueno… Expand

    This album is so worst. In my entire life I heard bad songs, but Positions is some kind of collection of poor production, generic lyrics and Ariana's waist of time and talent. Doja put something into it, but it was impossible to save the album. If you don't pay attention when listening, you'd feel like your consuming the same song for the entire 40 minutes.

Doja put something into it, but it was impossible to save the album. If you don't pay attention when listening, you'd feel like your consuming the same song for the entire 40 minutes. Where's the Ariana from Dangerous Woman? She's losing herself out. Since Sweetener she seems to be making music for filling up empty spaces. That's crazy for an artist of her level, it's decadent. She went off from A-list for artist of deparment shop.… Expand

    As a huge fan of her music, album consists of so many filers and similar sounds. Love language, motive,positions, my hair,pov and safety net are the ones that stand out. I also agree that she showed very little musical growth as an artist after her tun era.

    I'm sorry i thought Grande worst album is Sweetener but no Positions replace it. Positions is not impressive taste in our ears. Hope she better learn and improve more after this for her next upcoming album.

    Um álbum muito basiquinho e fraco, do inicio ao fim parece a mesma musica, gosto da ariana, mas esse álbum é extremamente fraco e repetitivo

    Too repetitive and singing in a double meaning may not be his best forte, let's hope he can surpass his best album DANGEROUS WOMAN, all the rest is too commercial, it's as if he will think I don't care what to sing I just want to sell!

    Grande is making no effort to be discreet, instead explicitly owning her sexuality—the album is called Positions, after all. The juxtaposition of beautiful violin sounds and risqué lyrics has become one of Grande’s signature sounds, and it suits her well.

    Grande laid bare may well be seen as a stopgap in her canon, using taboo to checkmate her past trauma, but it does pull off the rare feat of at least sounding effortless.

    With little conflict and few psychological insights, Positions zeroes in on the enviable confidence that only pop stars on top of the world and with nothing to lose can afford. It's easy to write it off as empty calories, but pop has always been described in such terms: cake, candy, chocolate, confection. Positions isn't a "sweetener" but pure sugar.
