I don't share the 143 hate

I know why some people hate 143. it was produced by this bad guy, it was supposed to be her big comeback, blah blah blah.

for me, i didn't want a big comeback. i wanted her to keep making music that i loved, which was the Smile era. she did exactly what i wanted. 143 is now my favorite album by her.

why can't everyone listen to the album without caring about the producer??? i NEVER keep up with them. it's the artist i really care about.

i wasn't around when OOTB came out, so i can understand why those people would love that nostalgia to come back. i wasn't even a fan in time to experience Smile's release lol.

also, can we talk about the Truth hate? i'm genuinely curious why it's almost everyone's least favorites. it's one of my all time favs!!! it's just so meaningful to me <3

i'm not trying to stir up more hate, i'm just genuinely trying to figure out what's going on here, and would love y'all's opinions. if you love 143, make sure to say it in the comments so i don't feel alone :/
