November 6, 201212 yr 07 Lotus Intro 09 Army of Me 06 Red Hot Kinda Love 07 Make the World Move 10 Your Body 09 Let There Be Love 07 Sing for Me 11 Blank Page 08 Cease Fire 08 Around the World 07 Circles 08 Best of Me 08 Just a Fool 09 Light Up the Sky 07 Empty Words 07 Shut Up Overall, its a strong album and some of the songs really are moments especially 'Your Body', 'Blank Page' and 'Let There Be Love', however I am really missing what Christina does best here - the big ballads. 'Blank Page' is the only one that actually offers a big ballad moment, and actually in that sense I actually preferred 'Bionic' as it had 'You Lost Me', 'I Am' and 'Lift Me Up' doing the job rather nicely, although obviously the lows on that were much lower than this. I would give it a 7.5 out of ten, but why is another 'Hurt' too much to ask for? Edited November 6, 201212 yr by Davidson
November 6, 201212 yr Just found a link and downloading now - Was going to wait until it was released but I need to hear this now especially as people are saying it's a good album
November 6, 201212 yr I'm feeling Red Hot Kinda Love but apart from that the album is boring as hell, much preferred Bionic.
November 7, 201212 yr Ugh. How do I stop replacing words of her songs with 'fat', 'mcdonalds', 'fart', etc. ('there's a thousand feces on me!')? :( I feel SO immature but I genuinely can't help it. XTINA LOONZ CAN RELAX OKAY JARK.
November 7, 201212 yr Lotus Intro - 6.0 Army Of Me - 9.0 Red Hot Kinda Love - 5.0 Make The World Move - 6.0 Your Body - 8.0 Let There Be Love - 9.0 Sing For Me - 8.0 Blank Page - 9.5 Cease Fire - 7.0 Around The World - 8.5 Circles - 9.0 Best Of Me - 10.0 Just A Fool - 9.0 Light Up The Sky - 11.0 Empty Words - 7.0 Shut Up - 4.0 Such a mixed bag, which I'm not used to with a Christina record. I usually love her records, even Bionic, but with this it's all a bit meh. It feels so generic, rushed and just :/ I dunno, hopefully it will grow, but I'm deffos underwhelmed atm.
November 8, 201212 yr I think let ther be love is the next single, I love that song so much almost as much as Blank Page
November 11, 201212 yr Having given this a few listens... 07.5 Lotus Intro 08.5 Army Of Me 09 Red Hot Kinda Love 06.5 Make The World Move (ft. Cee-Lo Green) 10 Your Body 09.5 Let There Be Love 07 Sing For Me 09.5 Blank Page 08.5 Cease Fire 08.5 Around The World 08.5 Circles 07 Best Of Me 10 Just A Fool (ft. Blake Shelton) 07 Light Up The Sky 06.5 Empty Words 08.5 Shut Up Quite a strong album, better than I expected to be honest! Nothing better than Your Body but Just A Fool, Blank Page, Let There Be Love and Red Hot Kinda Love are especially brilliant. In terms of her albums for me - Stripped > Bionic > Back To Basics > Lotus >>>>>>>>>> Christina Aguilera (all very consistent bar CA though, not much in it and I love the first three, Lotus could grow to overtake BTB to be honest)
November 11, 201212 yr Lotus is more consistent than Back to Basics (which was clogged up with some truly self indulgent crap on disc one) but the highlights are fewer and the production is nowhere near as brilliant, in fact it really lets Lotus down in places. I'd rank it above Bionic (obv) and I do consider it one of the best pop albums of the year, but it's not a patch on Stripped or Basics.
November 15, 201212 yr I still have a huge soft spot for the debut, although nothing beats Stripped. Lotus is a pretty good effort though although there are only three essential tracks on it for me - Your Body, Blank Page and Just A Fool. Has anybody heard Xtina's new Pitbull collaboration, Feel This Moment? It's essentially a club banger version of A-Ha's Take On Me with a decent Christina chorus and typically generic rap verses from Mr Worldwide.
November 15, 201212 yr It pains me to see how under-rated 'Back To Basics' is, for me its by far her best album, not a single track I skip on there. Edited November 15, 201212 yr by Davidson
November 15, 201212 yr It pains me to see how under-rated 'Back To Basics' is, for me its by far her best album, not a single track I skip on there. I always think it's so overrated personally, no-one ever shuts up about "Ain't No Other Man".
November 15, 201212 yr B2B is my favourite Christina album by a mile! I find Stripped to be really overrated.
November 15, 201212 yr Reckon it might be time for an Xtina singles rate (collabs included). Bitch has had way more classics than she gets credit for. Or maybe an ULTIMATE LEGEND X R8 including all album tracks... Edited November 15, 201212 yr by Jark
November 17, 201212 yr Dunno if it's been mentioned but 'Just A Fool' is confirmed as the next single. Posted on RCA's instagram: http://instagram.com/p/SHLZWNQRDg/
