I got to download the whole album yesterday and it really is good. Not as good as I hoped it would be especially since miss aguilera takes ages to release a record (her last album was released in 2002!) but since this is a double cd i am going to forgive her for that. lol , anyways..I actually enjoyed the album there were many tracks that really stood out but there were also others that err kinda hurt my ears. yes christina you have an amazing voice but for heavens sake do you really have to yell so much on ALL of your songs? She really needs to know how to control that voice of hers otherwise sooner or later everyone will end up turning deaf.
CD1 is my favorite because it's less 'classic' and she doesn't yell as much on it especially on the fabulous 'oh mother' that has a slight RnB feel to it and the very poppish and catchy 'Here to stay'. I also love 'Still dirrty', thats a fun song to listen to..and the chorus of both 'Understand' and 'slow down baby' is very catchy and sort of get stuck in your head..in a good way i must add.
CD2 is what I would really say what 'back to basics' is all about..this cd could actually be mistaken for something that came out in the 40's or 50's especially with songs like 'Candyman' (one of my fav songs on this album) and 'i got trouble' which was featured in the video of her first hit single 'Ain't no other man'.
Over all It's a very strong release but some songs will really have to grow on me before I can listen to the whole record without having to skip anything. I'm sure this will do well for her.
