“Thank U, Next doesn’t negate or replace its predecessor, but it does re-contextualize it, reframing it as just one chapter of a story that is still being told. The albums are linked by more than just Thank U, Next’s short gestation time: The polish of Sweetener makes the sweat and grime of Thank U, Next feel more visceral, and the storm clouds of Thank U, Next make the more fantastical parts Sweetener even more pleasant to inhabit.”
