Cool, mine are Portrait, A No No and 8th grade

She said Portrait was her favourite and wanted to name the whole album after that but they came up with the Caution marketing instead.

I remember reading that, and also they chose caution cause portrait is kind of a sad song and didn’t represent the whole album

Butterfly is better and more personal than Music Box. Stories and life are being told in Butterfly and Music Box is more a collection of songs..and sounds dated.
Straight Jacket Funk Affair
Album plays and love for vinyl records.

Agree, but stop with that dated word, everything is dated and sounds accordingly with their time, what did you expect? Music Box is a very good album.

Dated in a way that still sounds timeless today, Mariah mastered that well

Well, I agree both are good and also have their time stamp, but it’s not like they sound out of place today, not that much anyway lol

Have heard both once and I'd say that "Butterfly" is miles better than "Music Box". That said, nothing on "Butterfly" is as good as "Anytime You Need A Friend"

It's a wonderful song, but Breakdown is much better than AYNAF, if only lyrically.

I think the two sound so different from one another with no comparison
