I brought a copy of the album for my sister and I agree - it's a top notch album. It has a general mix of everything you would like any album to have, from 'Dirrty' to 'Can't Hold Us Down'.
However, the main problem I have with it was she had been given too much freedom and creative control at the wrong possible time. As much as I liked the song 'Dirrty', the music video was a step too far and I point the finger at it for the failure to reach #1 in the US or mainstream Europe (excluding here).
Had she released 'Beautiful' as the lead song which was what Perry and the record producers nagged about, that would be a different agenda.
