Mimi tries to follow up a great album like Emancipation. Let's see how this one faired:
Has attitude and a nice beat)

I STAY IN LOVE - (A nice ballad that can be put on repeat)

SIDE EFFECTS - (A mid-tempo about the demonic relationship Mariah endured with her ex-hubby and head of Sony, Tommy Mattola. ***


***

Standouts:

THANX 4 NOTHIN' - (My favorite track. Has good insight and features Young Jeezy)

BYE BYE - (Mainly another fair well to her father, but also makes room for others to say goodbye to a dead loved one)

Solid tracks:

I WISH YOU WELL - (Somewhat of a gospel kiss-off to someone that has hurt her. Lists a couple of verses from the Bible >_>)

MIGRATE - (Features the annoying T-Pain who somehow fits here. )

TOUCH MY BODY - (Catchy, mentions Youtube and nosy "Wendy interviews")

CRUISE CONTROL - (I used to love it, now I just like it. Features Damien Marley)

I'M THAT CHICK - (Has a great vibe. )

FOR THE RECORD - (Recalls and namechecks some of her songs of yesteryears in a cool, creative way. )

I'LL BE LOVIN' U LONG TIME - (Solid track. I was addicted to this track for a little bit. It was and still is infectious and so upbeat. Not a classic, but good compared to what's being played on the radio these days. )

Could be better:

O. O. C. - (This is one of the two least tolerable tracks on the record. Something about it gets me almost every time. It's partly the "click-clangy" beat. The flute is cool though. )

LOVE STORY - (Same as O. O. C. but this one has a reason to be here - Mariah sounds nearly dead and quite uninspired in the chorus)

Import Tracks:

4REAL4REAL - (Cute lyrics, alright song. Would fit in the "Solid tracks" section. )

HEAT - (Coolass drums, but overall, underwhelming. Belongs in the "Could be better" section. )

4 stars.

For The Record, this album is worth the purchase!
While not every song is classic, there are still a few underrated gems to listen to. After a few dissapointing albums, Mariah returned with this wonderful album! There are so many good songs on it. The leading single "Touch My Body" is a direction that we aren't used to hearing from Mariah. I bought this album twice because it was so good! The second single "Bye Bye" reminds the listener of her earlier hit like "One Sweet Day. " One of my favorite songs was "I'll Be Lovin U Long Time" which ended up being a single! Another favorite is "For The Record" and "Last Kiss. " This album is full of great vocals and hot beats. This is definately THE album of 2008 allong with Britney Spears's "Circus. " This is some of Mariah's best material in years. I hope it sells well because I'd hate to let this great album go un-noticed!.

Sing to me mariah
I can see why she's #1. Love this cd. Keep on going Mariah!.

One of Mariah's best albums ever!
The pop tracks have lyrics of a great depth, and they hardly ever bore you. This may not be her best album vocally, and I assure you it is not, but as of soul, it's a terrific effort. My favorite track is Side Effects, a true invitation for women to cry out loud, and I'm sure they will, because like most of the successful tracks here, it invites you to feel something, to experience the vocals and the up/mid/slow tempo beat, and you do without a second thought. I recommend E=MC²! It's gripping.
