Strengths:
- Like a proper mixtape in the iPod sense of the term, with lots of genres and sounds
- A step up in production quality. It sounds like a global artist's album
- Very accessible second half that would easily be a contender for Best Pop Album - flawless run between Starships and Marilyn Monroe.
- She sings her own hooks now
Weaknesses:
- Lacks a cohesive vision - mixing up styles is fine, but lyrically it is all over the place
- Some of the hip-hop tracks could have been the same songs, and arguably the same applies to the RedOne tracks
- Lacks a sense of timelessness. It's very 2012, and I don't think all of it will hold up in a few year's time.
Best tracks:
Whip It, Roman Holiday, Turn Me On, Marilyn Monroe, Beautiful Sinner, Fire Burns and Va Va Voom.
Worst tracks:
Sex In The Lounge is the only one I skip. I don't like Champion's features. Roman Reloaded isn't that great either.
What I'd do differently:
Two versions of the album: U.S. version and International version.
Seems many of her US fans really have an issue with the poppier and dance tracks, so she shouldn't have released them in America. Die hard fans will obviously still get to enjoy the songs, but the casual fans and US audience won't know they exist.
I'd also stagger the release dates, so she could split promo and not have it conflicting with one another - US version would have been out in February, and International out in August.
It is really odd, but I reckon that'll be what she does with the 3rd album.
u really thought she would say the real meaning on primetime television? 
i personally love it. touches me. and nicki
