reviews?

I got my copy yesterday, I love it but theres something about it that I'm not getting attached to it like I did with TEOM.

My faves in order are

Thanx 4 nothin
Migrate
Cruise Control
Bye Bye
lovin u long timeI'm that chick
touch my body
4 the record!

I reckon the whole album will grow on me even more today!
the album booklet is pretty rubbish! Just 2 pictures 1 on the front an one on the back!

What do u all think of the album?

I got the Lilimted didgipack edition with a poster and free perfrume sample. I'm disapointed with the booklet it's so dry.
Anyways I really like the album, but it's to early to judge if it's better than TEOM.

My faves are
Migrate
Touch My body
Cruise Control
I Stay in Love
Love Story
Last Kiss
Thanx 4 nothin'
Bye
I wish you well

The rest I'm not too familar with yet, but I don't hate one track. I can't listen to IWYW without getting teary eyes

I got my copy yesterday and was pleased to see that there were 15 tracks as it was reported the UK would only get a 14 track album (Heat being the 15th track). I downloaded the albuma week ago so have already listened to it a million times and love so many of the tracks. My favs so far are:
Loving You Long Time
For The Record
I'm That Chick (although sure this sounds better live)

Love pretty much all the tracks.

Hahaha saw the Making The Video for TMB yesterday.

They had so many scenes and setups to get throgh (about 30) so they played the song at double speed and made her lipsynch along with the speeded up vocals.
Then they put it all in slow motion to make it seem like regular speed.
Sounds crazy, but it works........Kinda like Mimi herself!!

Yeah they've been doing that in music videos for ages, so many feature "slow mo" bits so I've seen it happen a lot in Making The Videos.

I can't say that i love this album as much as i do Butterfly, this is only because i've only had it for just over a week. I think it's every bit as powerful as butterfly in lyrical terms.
For the Record, Cruise Control, Side Effects and Bye Bye are my clear favourites at the minute. I think i'd agree with most of the reviewers and give it four out of five.

P.S Just to let you know, Radio 2 has E=MC2 as their album of the week and touch my Boyd as single of the week

P.P.S She's BACK

I REALLY, REALLY love love story and i stay in Love made me cry - because that is so me, especially i stay in love....and it is not helping me - she should be singin songs about anger, and hating men!! Damn Mariah Carey!!

But V V V good album i was debating whether or not to get it yesterday, because of the shambles that what the last one but i got that and the kooks!! I love, love love it!! It is going to be my summer record i think...

Why do you think TEOM was a shambles?

Loving the album! Listening to it for the second time at the moment.

There are a few that I LOVE and a few that I'm not too sure about yet... I will listen to it again and make a note of the ones I like and the ones I'm indifferent about.

There isn't one song on the album I dislike. Here are my loves/generally-likes/not-sure-abouts - IN ORDER...

LOVE (in terms of lyrics):
Bye Bye

LOVE (in terms of song/beat/tapping-of-the-foot)
Side Effects
Migrate
Touch My Body
Heat
I'm That Chick

GENERALLY LIKE:
Love Story
O.O.C
I Stay In Love
Last Kiss

NOT SURE ABOUT YET...
I Wish You Well
I'll Be Loving U Long Time
Cruise Control
Thanx 4 Nothin'
For The Record

I do like the album, however, I do have to say that I prefer Mariah's earlier work MUCH more than her current music. I'm a lover of great vocals and singing, which is present on her first/older albums. There isn't particular much of this of this in E=MC2, which is basically quite R&B.
I'm not sure about how every song is love related either... Hm.

Overall, I do like the album - and would give it a 7.5/10.

I'd love it if she released:
-Touch My Body (released)
-Migrate
-Bye Bye
-Side Effects
-Heat/I'm That Chick

I'm loving the album more and more each listen!

I just can't stop listening to Side Effects - I LOVE it! It kinda reminds me of Rihanna - Umbrella... I just love the beat!

And Migrate.

Migrate could be huge in clubs...wish it had been the second single!! "Bye Bye" seems like a strange choice for release next...I think "I Stay in Love" is a much stronger more appealing ballad.
