The so-called music critics who have given the album only This is the gem in her catalog for sure, a beautifully crafted masterpiece. The so-called music critics who have given the album only favorable reviews are truly clueless. They all can go back to kissing up to generic bands like u2 and britney spears. Expand

    this could be one of her very best comeback, its weirdness makes this album look like a kind of spectacular time-bomb, that's the way creativity goes.
