Hit: 5 Stars
Mariah has come a long way. From flannel shirts to short skirts. She always has a way of changing. And sometimes, the world doesn't know it. But the few people who do know it are her biggest fans like me. This album is so different from the other albums and it shows mariah in a different light. We hear few screams and wails (The Emancipation of Mimi) and more different vocal range that hight lights the different ranges of her voice. She is an artist and has the right to experiment with her sound. All Great artists do that. Also you can tell that she is more confident in herself and explores all aspects of her musical insprirations on this album. This album is a classic and i am enjoying and loving it everytime i hear it. So those who do read this, try to avoid the negativity that is toward this album and enjoy the independence of mariah who has never sounded better ( better than she sounded on emanciaption of Mimi in my opinion.) My favortie tracks are (top five)
1. Im that chick (she actually compares herself to an herb, we all know what i am talking about)
2. I stay in love (such a touching song with a cool beat)
3.Love story (this is where you hear the strong richness and range of that VOICE)
4.Thanks 4 nothing (great song that alot of people can relate to)
5. I wish you well (great gospel song where she sings over a piano and quotes bible verses leave it to mariah to always include a gospel song on her CD this song also hightlights one of her major influences which is gospel)
Other stand out tracks include:
Touch my Body
For the Record
Cruise Control
Migrate
So please pick this album up it will surprise you!!!!!

Every Mariah Carey album is an event worth waiting for, and such was the case with this glorious return-to-form. So many professional reviews seem to prefer "The Emancipation of Mimi" over this - but I guess they haven't listened to this long enough. Its twice as playful as `Mimi', and definitely more musically creative. On certain songs, little snippets stand out, a sample here and there - but everything comes together beautifully. This is also clearly an album that holds up - almost demands - repeat listening, only because there are vast riches here to rediscover.
What a treasure that in this day and age we have an artist who understands what it means to truly record a genuine `pop' album, and also one without any filler. The `filler' is something that Mariah herself has had trouble with - on `Mimi' there were at least three sub-par tracks, and early in her career she was notorious for some real snoozefests amongst the more popular singles on her albums. On this new CD, almost every track is made for radio (which may be a good or bad thing based on how interested you are in pop music as art versus pop music as fun), and its easy to see why this is clearly Mariah's best album after "Butterfly" (which despite being from the mid 1990s, never sounds dated in the least).
Lead single "TMB" is actually the least interesting thing here. In between Jamaican banter on "Cruise Control", Mariah makes the time for Jesus ("I Wish you Well"), discusses divorce and sleeping with the enemy (on "Side Effects"), ponders the death of a relationship ("Thanx for Nothin"), flits in and out of nightclubs for no apparent reason ("Migrate"), and spouts eulogies for her dead grandparents ("Bye Bye"). She manages to lacquer all of the above in a bright lavender gloss and Hello Kitty-esque lyrical input, so that even in her most supposedly poignant moments (such as on the final gospel track), its impossible not to just step back and gaze in awe at the absolute pinkness of the project. I mean this in a nice way.
What really shines here though is the production. The best track on the album by a long shot is "I'm That Chick" - an amalgamation of Michael Jackson's late 1970s hits with some Neptunes-lite production - the song has a killer verse, soaring pre-chorus, and an actual chorus that is twenty times better than anything currently on the radio. A perfect pop song - I wish Janet Jackson could have learnt from Mariah before attempting those disco sounding numbers on her last tepid album. "For the Record" towards the end of the album is to me what "We Belong Together" was to the "Mimi" Era - a superb slice of fine songwriting and a verse and chorus that you will be humming for months - I expect this to be a monster hit.
In fact, the album itself is too big and grand to believe - not since Shania Twain's "Come on Over" has an album contained so many potential Top 10 singles - with the sole exception of the somewhat boring "Last Kiss", every track here is top notch. And while Mariah is not exactly hitting the whistle register anymore (those high, glass-shattering vocals are found only on the opening seconds of "Migrate" and on the background of "I Wish you Well"), her singing sounds as capable and interesting as ever.
All in all, this is both a pop music lover and a musicians' album, with emphasis on the music. For all its' chart success, one tends to forget that is definitely the most musically lush release of 2008, and harkens back to the day when Mariah ruled the airwaves and charts - because she deserved to. As a Mariah fan, she has often let me down, especially with the disgusting "Charmbracelet", but the effortless ease and charm of this new CD will make you an instant convert. Seriously, even if you're a die-hard rock music fan, chances are that you will fall in love with this album almost immediately - and how many albums can you say that about?
Four and a Half Stars.
