Sep 20, 2012Much better than that s**ts called "Loose" and "Mi Plan"! Without Timbaland and the spanish language, Nelly shows she can still make good music! My rating would be a 6, but i give this album an 8 because she released new stuff without copying what she had done in "Loose" or "Woah! Nelly" or "Folklore".

Sep 24, 2012"Nelly presents a clean, fresher and different album [The Spirit Indestructible]... Its a great return to her, with her signature folk influences, but with all the wacky instrumentation (in "Spirit Indestructible" and "Big Hoops" for example), it feels unfinished."

Oct 10, 2012This album has that "magical feeling". Though the production feels misguided and heavy-handed at times, overall it makes you longing to listen again.

Sep 24, 2012This is a fantastic, original album. The work is obviously personal and written without the interference of 'producers' who wreck the majority of stuff out these days. A few misses on this album, purely from the experimentation but on the whole the beats are superb!! Recommend Waiting for the Night, Miracles, Believers.

Jan 23, 2017I really don't understand why critics didn't love this album. It may seems different from her previous albums, but this one is soooo good. Music production is on point, diversification through the album, it has soul.

Sep 20, 2012Nelly didn't need the current trend - and worn - of the U.S., to create a good album. Sounds original, different and exotic, and without doubt the best song of the album is "Believers (Arab Spring)".

Sep 24, 2012This is one of the best albums I've listened in ages, bought the deluxe edition, heres my review of the tracks, out of 5 stars

Sep 20, 2012Nelly Furtado is always trendy and creative. She delivered a well-consistent album which can make you understand what is REAL music! Unlike other pop divas such as Rihanna who can't write their own songs + with no musical talent.

Dec 23, 2012It should be a crime this album is so underrated. Surely one of the best in her career! Nelly treading into new territories, traveling and experiencing new genres from R & B to current pop, still flirting with the pop-rock on some tracks. Deserved a resounding success.

Sep 7, 2018Infelizmente não entenderam o conceito. Um álbum bom desses subestimado por um monte de gente que esperou muito de uma artista que só quer repassar sua arte ao mundo.

Mar 10, 2019A really good cd with catchy songs. I don't get why did it flop so hard, I actually think that if she released "Spirit Indestructible" as a lead single and promoted it, it could be bigger than Loose.
At least it is in my last.fm
Ahead of its time, just like Bionic and Blackout. -
Sep 22, 2019I love this album, I think every song has a special meaning behind it, and I really relate to the title-track. But a deluxe edition wasn't needed.

Oct 17, 2012It's not all bad, of course-if you prefer your sugar with a side of C-rate bounce, there are things here with which you most certainly could spend your Saturday nights.

Sep 18, 2012Main producer Rodney Jerkins keeps the beats tight and hooks polished, but Furtado's flaming identity crisis makes this cringe listening.
