    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ariana may need to take a little break, rushing these albums out are having a bad effect on quality. Positions is so boring. This one is my least fave Ariana album... it’s really boring I almost fell asleep while listening . I personally prefer her pop or bigger productions stuff. Stream still have me by Demi for clear skin… Expand

    so much potential with that voice and this is what she gives us? the only good song was “my hair”. all the songs sounded the same. all those song writers and the lyrics are still corny and bad. the production was a mix of an orchestra and almost edm inspired beats and it didn’t work for me at all. people are saying this is an r&b album but it just sounds like pop with rap influences. whyso much potential with that voice and this is what she gives us? the only good song was “my hair”. all the songs sounded the same. all those song writers and the lyrics are still corny and bad. the production was a mix of an orchestra and almost edm inspired beats and it didn’t work for me at all. people are saying this is an r&b album but it just sounds like pop with rap influences. why an album about sex? she can do whatever she wants but it flopped for me.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. ¿Tantos escritores y productores para un álbum tan básico?, horror con esta mierd4 básica sin reinvención, sin impacto ni nada de bueno y sus fans básicos y mierderos sobrevalorando tremenda cagada básica que prácticamente parecen descartes de thank u, next y de sweetener. Una vez mas se demuestra que la sobrevaloración existe en personas básicas y monótonas como Ariprepuci0.… Expand

    Álbum repetitivo, parece um compilado de descartes dos seus 2 últimos álbuns, porém com uma tentativa falha de R&B com gosto de água suja, poucas músicas se salvam e são as que se aproximam mais do pop, Ariana Grande deveria voltar a fazer suas músicas comerciais e ainda assim ruins, porém onde se destaca mais com seus apitos de chaleiras inconvenientes, lindo ouvir Romance da CamilaÁlbum repetitivo, parece um compilado de descartes dos seus 2 últimos álbuns, porém com uma tentativa falha de R&B com gosto de água suja, poucas músicas se salvam e são as que se aproximam mais do pop, Ariana Grande deveria voltar a fazer suas músicas comerciais e ainda assim ruins, porém onde se destaca mais com seus apitos de chaleiras inconvenientes, lindo ouvir Romance da Camila Cabello para limpar meus ouvidos.… Expand

    Un album mas del montón, ella no sabe hacer nada diferente
    como Arianator me arrepiento de decir que se venía lo mejor, porque llegó lo mismo, la misma fórmula
    es mil veces mejor Sweetener que este álbum. One more album of the lot, she doesn't know how to do anything different as Arianator I regret saying that the best was coming, because the same thing came, the same formula Sweetener is    Un album mas del montón, ella no sabe hacer nada diferente

    ariana’s worst album. i love her to dealth but she could’ve done so much better. lyrically 90% of the songs sound exactly the same theyre all so repetitive and boring. sonically they sound the same. i really expected so much more :( but POV is such a good relieving finish to the album though i love it.

    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.
