May 27, 201015 yr Why was my post deleted? :/ Whoever mods this forum is lame. ORIGINAL: Crap. It's a really ugly mess of her trying to copy the styles of all these other acts and it just feels really half assed and sad. FOLLOWUP: Seriously, the opening track is her just begging to be as cool as Santigold / MIA and it just fails, as well as a couple other tracks. This album does not flow and is like 8 tracks too long. It's a hot mess in the worst way possible and the lyrics are literally cringeworthy. The ballads are the only things that feel like 'her' and even then they're just subpar versions of Beautiful, etc. Like I said, it just feels like no care or attention or detail was put into this album. It was just thrown together for the sake of it. Really disappointing, not that my expectations were high lolz. But you'd think with all these great producers something good would come of it but there is not one super good track on this album. Some promising points, but no strong, solid pop song.

May 27, 201015 yr Bionic - 9.5 / 10 - Why she did started the album with mediocre NMT when you this masterpiece :s Not Myself Tonight - 7.5 / 10 - When I first heard it, it was 8.5 but seriously didn't have a staying power with my taste. WooHoo - 8.5 / 10 - Amazing beats and great hook. Elastic Love - 3 / 10 - I did listen because I had to judge and give a rate, otherwise I doubt I will ever play this song again. Desnudate - 9 / 10 - amazing start and verses...the chorus kinda irritates me otherwise I would rate it 10 Glam - 7 / 10 - it lacks hook and melody...now I understand why they choose NTM over this which still it was wrong when you have amazing song as Bionic. Prima Donna - 9 / 10 - THIS IS MY JAM. Sex For Breakfast - 9.5 / 10 - OMG amazing...sounds like belongs to Stripped era...and that's why I find it amazing. Lift Me Up - 10 / 10 - Such a beautiful song Please be a 2nd single. All I Need - 8.5 / 10 - Another amazing ballad. I Am - 9 / 10 - What great uplifting song...the chorus takes you on heaven. You Lost Me - 10 / 10 - THE BEST SONG ON ALBUM ...I have no words to describe how great I feel...it's the same way as when I heard Hurt for the first time. I Hate Boys - 9 / 10 - Anthemic ...it has potential to be huge. My Girls - 8.5 / 10 - See above Vanity - 7.5 / 10 - I really don't have anything to say...lyrics are lol'able...and that high note in the end :lol: OMG I can't believe the end part of album is thousand miles better then beginning...usually (or always) it's the opposite...amazing Xtina...I totally love it...and the ones in bold are the ones that needs to be released as singles and get full support. My ranking: 01-You Lost Me 02-Lift Me Up 03-Bionic 04-Sex For Breakfast 05-I Am 06-Prima Donna 07-I Hate Boys 08-Desnudate 09-WooHoo 10-All I Need 11-My Girls 12-Vanity 13-Not Myself Tonight 14-Glam 15-Elastic Love
May 27, 201015 yr To summarise this album in one word - meh. Woohoo and Not Myself Tonight are the only things that I can remember. Everything else is just out the window.
May 27, 201015 yr I have a feeling this album will struggle to do well, after the mediocre response to not myself tonight.
May 28, 201015 yr My ratings of the album after 3 listenings - Bionic = 9.5/10 - brilliant opener, would be a good single choice. Not Myself Tonight = 10/10 - I Love this song now! WooHoo = 9/10 - love it, but can get a tad annoying at times Elastic Love = 6.5/10 - not feeling it that much atm, hopefully it will grow. Desnudate = 8.5/10 - think this will become one of my faves with some more listens Glam = 7/10 - its good, but nothing special atm Prima Donna = 8/10 - liking this one, probs grow alot too Sex For Breakfast = 7/10 - its ok, but its not that exciting Lift Me Up = 9.5/10 - seemed slightly better live, but still amazing All I Need = 9/10 - another brilliant ballad from her. I Am = 9.5/10 - loving this alot! You Lost Me = 10/10 absolutley love this, classic Christina ballad! I Hate Boys = 8.5/10 - this one keeps growing! My Girls = 7.5/10 - good, but has hit me that much just yet Vanity = 9/10 - think this will become one of my faves! Ranking = 1.Not Myself Tonight (probs just coz I've heard it most though tbh) 2.You Lost Me 3.I Am 4.Bionic 5.Lift Me Up 6.All I Need 7.WooHoo 8.Vanity 9.Desnudate 10.I Hate Boys 11.Prima Donna 12.My Girls 13.Sex For Breakfast 14.Glam 15.Elastic Love looking forward to hearing the 6 bonus tracks :D

May 28, 201015 yr Just heard this album. Her new material doesnt seem as strong as her other stuff and her voice doesnt seem to stand out as much. I'm a bit disappointed at the moment.
May 29, 201015 yr I'm a little dissapointed with the album. 'Bionic' and 'You Lost Me' are the only songs I really love. I don't like the intro to 'Woohoo' either, it has no relation to the rest of the song.. :huh:
June 2, 201015 yr I'm only halfway through disc 2, and I can already say it's better than the majority of disc 1. :rofl:
June 2, 201015 yr Really like Birds Of Prey and Stronger Than Love I Am (Stripped) is bearly different from I Am though.. hmm
June 2, 201015 yr This is my (heavily) edited tracklist: 01. Bionic 02. Elastic Love 03. My Girls 04. All I Need 05. Stronger Than Ever 06. Morning Dessert [interlude] 07. Sex For Breakfast 08. I Am 09. Birds Of Prey 10. You Lost Me 11. Lift Me Up 12. Monday Morning I think that works really, really well. I'd say that in that form it's worthy of great album status and I don't need to feel disappointed by the project. It remains a shame of course that the label littered the real tracklist with crap. Thank god for the digital age!

June 2, 201015 yr Well the whole point of my tracklist was to exclude the dated synthy stuff the label wanted her to include. I've put it all on a different tracklist. I do like those songs but they're not in the same league as the stuff on that edited tracklist and don't deserve to be on the same album.
June 5, 201015 yr My copy arrived in the post today (2 discer). All 4 of the new tracks on Disc 2 deserve a place on the main album in place of at least 7 or 8 of the songs that made it...ridiculous. I completely agree with Jark that there's a great 12 tracker somewhere in this 23 song epic. I'd get rid of all of the intro's (I hate them) and I could easily cut out 8 other songs to make it a really decent 12 track affair. Not exactly the same choices as Jark but 90% the same I think.
June 5, 201015 yr I got the album via pre-order (2-disc-er) The album overall is 7.5/10 Lift Me Up has the best. It just blows everything on the album away. It just makes me so emotional. Elastic Love, Desnudate and Bionic is truly amazing. The album overall is 8.5/10 from me.
