    Here, the artist seems to finally feel comfortable in her own skin. It's a wide-ranging album-she's in love, out of love, light-hearted and playful.

    No amount of hackneyed songwriting can undermine Ms. Underwood's voice, which is consistently impressive, capable of pneumatic thrusts. It enlivens plenty of moments here.

    It's not all unremittingly awful; generally, all the faux-shitkicking glossy country Bon Jovi stuff is half-way listenable. But brother, do the ballads ever stink.

    Carrie's best album yet. Lyrically, musically, and vocally beautiful. What a fantastic piece of art.

    Let me preface this by saying that I was one of those 'batshit insane' fans mentioned in the Slant review. I spent hours voting for her in the CMAs and I bashed her naysayers. With that said, I'm really dislike this CD. She's a great singer and she sings most of her songs really well, but that can only get you so far. The lyrics are unimaginative and lazy. Compound that with the fact that this isn't a country album, but a 80s pop one and you have a recipe for disaster.… Expand
