As a HUGE MC fan since the beginning, it's impossible for anyone to say that she's not returning to her roots. Short of grabbing Walter Afansieff (the major collabo writer on the majority of her earlier hits) this screeeeaaaammmmsss Old Mariah in a NEW AND IMPROVED PACKAGE. It makes me so angry to hear people say that she should go back to her old stuff when she, in a sense, is. I Wish You Well, Bye Bye and Cruise Control are all reminiscent of The Wind, Vanishing, and All Alone in Love wrapped in a bow. Listen to the arrangements and the vocal gymnastics to serve as further proof. ALSO MARIAH RAPPED ON HER FIRST ALBUM... download Prisoner. This HipHop Infused R&B isn't new for MIMI. You new heads should do more research before you complain.

E=MC2 is the ISH!
