I'm actually surprised that not more people like this album. First listen through and I was just just so amazingly touched in a way that one of my top favorite albums NEXT LEVEL even couldn't do. I already loved the singles (minus Sweet Season, which is still a weak link in the album for me). I won't do a track by track review, but the new songs are amazing. I already loved "do it again" and now I also really love "sending mail" and "Thank U". "Like A Doll" was a little messy for me but still really charming in its way. And the interludes are her best in a really long time.
I've realized since Secret that my tastes in her albums tend to alternate years. Loved Secret, did not like GUILTY, loved NEXT LEVEL, was underwhelmed with RnRC, and was expecting that I would also like this album based on the singles, and I was right. This is probably the absolute most cohesive album I've heard from her since her earlier years.
Oh well, it's not everyone's cup of tea. I do think it's an amazing album though.
