I'm a huge fan of Mariah Carey's, but honestly, this album tanks. It's better than E=MC2, but lacks the quality that makes Mariah relatable as in her previous albums before Rainbow. Opting for quirky, immature, irrelevant lyrics doesn't enthuse me anymore. This album was more a Dream-released album than anything Mariah Carey. If The Dream isn't able to produce a hit album on his own terms, why have him produce your entire album?! He's retiring because his music is outdated and he's not able to produce new songs that doesn't sound similar. It tanks and sounds very Dream-ish. Very annoying. (I still bought it though.....)
