    With due respect to her previous fine efforts, Four the Record is easily Miranda's best album yet.

    This does wind down into your basic quality country album.

    On a rock solid and expansive set of songs, Lambert mixes backbeats, production styles, fuzzed-out vocals, slinky slide guitars, and other offbeat elements into a cohesive whole.

    This is the weakest of Lambert's four big solo records, and overall it lacks the lively charm of Hell on Heels, her excellent August album with the supergroup Pistol Annies.

    Sheer brilliance. This album takes country music to a completely different level. It is daring and is Miranda's best album to date. It is a wild ride full of wonderful lyrics and instruments that prove she is the best at what she does, and that is making albums.… Expand

    Yikes, the worst album she has put out so far. There is only a total of 2 songs that I really listen to, the others I skip over. Not sure exactly what happened, maybe she has too many irons in the fire or something what with the Pistol Annie thing going on and the recent wedding, but it just seems all over the place and very incohesive to me and the "ummpppphhhh" seems to have gone out.… Expand
