  • Summary: Little LeAnn Rimes, the former 13-year-old country sensation, has been remade as a teen pop star with this latest release, thanks to a new team of producers and songwriters. But will the teen pop buyers of the world accept the new LeAnn Rimes? If only we had the time to worry about such things.

  1. She remains a monster vocalist just getting started.
  2. Musically speaking, "Damn" is the only real memorable tune in the bunch. Which is exactly the expletive many of her old fans may express when hearing this often over-bombastic effort.
  3. 60
    Rimes's gigantic soprano never flags, yet remains best in ballads. [#11, p.140]
  4. Years as a teen country grinner, though, do not a dancetastic siren (''Trouble With Goodbye''), pop kiss-off queen (''Life Goes On''), or sex kitten (''Tic Toc'') make.

    "Twisted Angel" is a great mix of songs and an excellent performance by LeAnn Rimes. "Wound Up" and "Damn" and "Tick Tock" and "Love is an Army" are my favorites but I enjoy all of them. Expand

    Wow! She still has a wonderful voice. I was a bit shocked when comparing it with the country ballads that once defined her style, however I really do like this album. I only hope she won't be dismissed as a Britney want-to-be as she tries out the pop scene. Expand
  3. If you purchased this album thinking you were getting classic country crooning, you were sadly disappointed. Little LeAnn grew up and so did her songs. This is a crossover album and if you bring any preconceptions to it based on her past music, you were bound to be disappointed. As the album stands, if you like LeAnn's vocals, you like this album. If you listen to her lyrics, they are not necessarily country. Be prepared. It's worth a listen...before you decide to buy. Expand

    The worst cd I've bought in the past 3 or 4 years. LeAnn has a terrific voice, but her song selection has always been lacking. Here she tries to compete with the Britneys and Christinas by putting out more dance oriented material with disastrous results. Easily her worst work. One song starts off "Come inside", and I was like, oh she didn't mean that. Next line, "Come inside my walls of ecstasy." Oh LeAnn. Her next cd happily, is much better. Expand
