    This album is really good. there is a song for everyone. the ballads are the strongest point in the album but the up beat tempo tracks are very fun and catchy. I recommend that you buy this :D congrats Christina!

    Christina Aguilera's 4th studio LP "Bionic" tells the tale of a woman who's just here to have fun. Playful, aggressive, sweet, melancholic - "Bionic" encompasses and incites a range of emotion. It's here that we find Christina at her most experimental, particularly with her voice. With a long list of producers who contributed their many talents to the record, "Bionic" is Christina Aguilera's 4th studio LP "Bionic" tells the tale of a woman who's just here to have fun.

    Christina has once again out done herself. She's gone into a field that's completely unlike her previous album's sound, and has reinvented the sound for herself. Every song has its own personality and exemplify Christina's unparalleled diversity and charisma. The album is entertaining for any listener and inspirational for her fans.

    Its a classic pop album, pop has, over the last decades, evolved into so many unique personalities and sounds, Christina captured each one on this record.

Critics will be in an uproar because Ms. Aguilera dared to be different, she dared to conquer every element of pop; from soft pop, to r&b pop to electro pop. The very thing that elevates this album above her contemporaries is the fact that Aguilera, did not do, what the critics expected; stay inside the box. There is truly something for everyone on this album. And just like Stripped, when all the smoke has cleared and the critics have ceased, Bionic will be another classic album Christina will be able to add to her discography. Don't listen to the crtics they study "current" music, a task that must be DAUNTING!… Expand

    While most critics aim to compare this effort for Xtina to those of current Pop Stars, the album offers what many others fail to do: a vocally strong album. It's an album you can listen from beginning to end, every song offers up something different and that's important.

    Bionic is an album of POP GOLD with fantastic uptempo songs such as Elastic Love,Glam,Bionic,Prima Donna and WOOHOO! and some of the greatest ballads she has ever recorded.

    10 for the Deluxe edition! Maybe a 9 for the regular 18-track edition. Elastic Love/Birds of Prey/Glam prove that this isn't your regular attempt at an electronic album by a Pop artist! Other songs to look out for - I am, You Lost Me, Woohoo, Prima Donna, I Hate Boys.

    Amazing album! It's definitely a new sound for Christina. The album should be considered a "fun" album, not to be taken so serious and judged by it's lyrical content.

    A fantastic album, I love the way this girl constantly reinvents herself. No other female artist of this generation has the versatility and voice that Christina possesses. Bionic is an electric in your face album that's awesome from beginning to end. the perfect album for this summer.

    Critics should shut their bias up, the only influence this album has is Madonna! Nothing wrong with that imho.

    Chrisitna Aguilera has more than a few gems on this album. I love the versatility and the fact that she can give me a song like "NMT" and than she goes and gives me something like "You Lost Me".

    So the 4 year hiatus of Xtina didn't let me down. She was inspired a lot, she's sexier than ever and she's back to her throne. What can i say? The collaborators list is fantastic. Ladytron did an amazing job on Birds of Pray and Little Dreamer, Sia wrote some of Christina's best ballads, M.I.A. led Christina to different paths of music and Santigold made Christina So the 4 year hiatus of Xtina didn't let me down.

I need more! THe album combines many kinds of music and it's so interesting to hear Christina's voice because it's unique and different in many songs. The only thing i don't like is the lyrics. Stripped and Back to Basics had more inspired lyrics. The booklet and in general the artwork is brilliant. Good job Christina!… Expand

    I think the way she uses her voice differently is just about every track really shows just how versatile and BIONIC her vocal talent is. She goes dark balads to fun pop songs about hating boys. The range on this album is great and it's a plan and simple awesome pop album.

    Honestly, the best she had since Stripped. Stripped was so great because it was so multilayered and versatile, Bionic pretty much guarantees some for everybody The ballads are out of this world. Other key tracks: Monday Morning, Birds of Prey, Bionic, and Elastic Love.

    Amazing album, no matter what stupid 50+ year old critics say. This album is for young people who know how to have fun, not for old farts who live in their parents basement thinking they know what real music is cause they get paid to write about it. ...like that Rob S. dude who writes for RollingStones, total idiot. Pick up the deluxe edition of this album, its amazing!

    As convincing as she attempts to sound, Bionic does nothing to persuade authenticity.

    Because she's bold enough to do it her way, Aguilera maintains her reign.

    Sure, her voice remains full, brash, and loud. But ultimately, so much of what passes for hedonism on Bionic feels synthetic and compulsory.
