Fun album. I did find it a bit long though. 3.5/5
This album is already a 5 in my book. ArchAndroid was the first Janelle Monae album to fall on my radar, but I was an instant fan. I love just how much you can hear the influences of George Clinton, Prince and other Atlanta hip-hop artists on this record. It's not perfect, and I think as a whole Dirty Computer might be a better album, but ArchAndroid has my favorite songs of Janelle's and they're good enough to carry the whole album to a 5 for me.
Janelle Monáe is one of those artists I wish I could like more than I do. She has such a unique sound, a real past-present-future scenario, and is a literal protégé of Prince, but I only admire her work instead of truly loving it. So I admire this but don’t especially vibe. C+
