(miss)understood is not only, by far, one of the most versatile albums she's had, but it is also very experimental in general (alterna, Will, Criminal; plus, making up new arrangements for the sweetbox covers). GUILTY, like Brat said, has Mirror and Marionette, and I also agree GUILTY is experimental. NEXT LEVEL has Sparkle, rollin' and GREEN. And now we have BALLAD. (You could also consider it experimenting with Sunrise/Sunset - the actual concept, of course, not the songs themselves.)

GREEN says that BALLAD isn't experimenting, it's following a new pattern. We have NO experimentation with these singles, which means god knows what the album's gonna sound like.

I kinda love the suspense <3
