Mariah Carey - E=MC2
01. Migrate (featuring T-Pain)
4/5 very nice start to the album, mariah starts off by showing off her voice with those famous high notes...amazing...
02. Touch My Body
03. Cruise Control (featuring Damian Marley)
2.5/5 again, seems lazy, she could do better with that voice...but it's not bad, typical dupri beat, could be better, damian isn't all that but adds a different touch
04. I Stay in Love
2.5/5 slow love song, doesn't come close to measuring up to her old love songs, but it's still not that bad, again seems lazily sung, she can do better, show off the voice a little more, beat is sterotypical
05. Side Effects (featuring Young Jeezy)
3.5/5 beat is nice, jeezy holds his own, mariah seems to lazily sing it again, but it's a nice beat and that really makes the song, could be better though
06. I'm That Chick
3/5 nothing special, has reminents of old skool mariah but still could be better, doesn't seem so lazily sung, but still, jus a bit above the average CD song
07. Love Story
3/5 nice lyrics, i like story telling songs, but this one ain't all that much of a story, but still it's nice to listen to, better sung, could do without dupri's constant, "yeah" "uh huh" "holla at em MC" "uh" "i like this" "JD ya'll" "hey" throughout the entire song
3.5/5 pretty good song actually, nice beat, mariah sings it well enough, could do with a few more high notes...then again wat MC song couldn't? lol, but she does her thing on this one, just lacks that overall "umphness" that makes a good song a great one ya kno?
09. Last Kiss (featuring Jermaine Dupri)
3.5/5 nice song, JD's not so annoying, mariah sings it very well, could always be better, but it's a pretty good song, could do with a lil tune up to make it better, but it's good
10. Thanx 4 Nothin'
4/5 emotion comes thru in this one, nice song to like sit and think too, it's a good chill song, sung beautifully, i like it, could really do without dupri...he's really gettin annoying
11. O.O.C.
2.5/5 eh could be a better beat especially with swizz beatz production, guess he's runnin out of ideas and sounds. Average song, singing is average
12. For the Record
4/5 different kind of beat, nice flow, good song gets great towards the end as she shows off those high notes a bit more
13. Bye Bye
3.5/5 beat makes the song, mariah sings it well enough though, standard tribute to those lost, not bad, but not great
14. I Wish You Well
5/5 stripped down beat, basically just piano and mariah's voice, real nice to just listen to her harmonize to herself...love it, great ending to an average CD, really shows off her vocals, very nice stripped down harmony ballad, ends with a Bible verse i think, very nice touch
Overall: 3/5 decent average CD but still not all that, could be wayy better...then again with CD sales how they are, i'm not in the least bit surprised, if this were a sandwich the best part would be the bread lol the filling is average, starts and ends great, but needs better meat
