My initial thoughts based on the snippets:

Let Me Down is actually AMAZING.... that bridge is the ****!!!
I'm grooving to Einstein..... that beat is KICKASS and her vocals sound really good.
Hello is everything that Mr. Know It All isn't..... ****ing awesome!!!
You Can't Win is the TRUTH!!! I love the lyrics.... and her falsetto is perfect.
Standing In Front Of You, Why Don't You Try, Breaking Your Own Heart are the ballads that I been wanting from her FOREVER..... just sang that ****!!! I'ma have a field day with these cuts. YES! YES! YES!
Dark Side is really good and different for her. I feel like she is gonna WAIL on that bridge... #geekedUP
Sun Will Rise is the country/pop/rock that alot of people have been wanting from Kelly.... that could be massive for her. #WOWZERS
Honestly is my Behind These Hazel Eyes!!!!! INSTANT FAVORITE!!!!!!!!!!!
Alone has potential to grow on me.
You Love Me, Know It All, I Forgive You, War Is Over & Stronger bored the hell outta me. She can easily AXE these and have another strong album like AIEW & My December.

Listening to FULL album as a whole:
MKIA & WDKYS still suck ass. Sorry but she has done these songs a 1000 times before and better.
Dark Side & Honestly..... O>M>G!!!! The reasons why I'm a Kelly ClarkSTAN to begin with!! Best pop uptempos of the year!!!
You Love Me.... just a generic mess. Never Again has the same subject matter and ***** BRICKS on this song!! Overrated by her and the fans.
Einstein.... gives me Walk Away meets "Funhouse" P!nk vibe and I absolutely LOVE it!!!
Standing In Front Of You should have been a bonus track..... its beautifully intimate and I love the lyrics but it really goes nowhere. Why Don't You Try could have easily taken its place as Kelly's powerhouse ballad which we haven't gotten since Anytime.
I Forgive You = filler
Hello is already one of my favorites from Kelly ever!! She is simply sanging on this and she sounds so passionate. I love that part after the bridge when she goes "yeeahh" Thats my Kelly!!
War Is Over is tolerable only due to her awesome vocal performance (lyrically WEAK).... its a keeper!!
Let Me Down makes me wanna dance!! The "Since You Been Gone" of the album
You Can't Win is the empowerment anthem that she promised!!! The second verse is GOLD!!! Love the arrangement!!!
BYOH takes me right back to My December and hearing Kelly pour her heart out. I needed some more BIG vocals though. Perfect segue into DYWS which is country perfection!!
Alone is pt. 2 to Hello it seems..... I see why its a bonus but I prefer it to alot that made the real album. She just sounds FREE over these types of tracks instead of compressed and stuck in the beat.
DBAGAI is really a radio SMASH in waiting!! Love the production changes throughout!
Sun Will Rise is the country/pop/rock song that everybody has been waiting for!! Kara kinda sounds like Katharine McPhee. Kelly is WAILING!!
Gotta live with this album for awhile and check out the leaks that didn't make the album before I access it properly. Definitely isn't her best album and being SAMEY is not cohesive. She needs lyrical GROWTH outside of being the empowered victim and all the male bashing. If she had some fun songs, being happy and songs about life in general then she could compete with the other chicks. She limits herself so much that it is detrimental to her career. Also don't be afraid to get your Christina/Beyonce on and SANG that motha****er!!! I know this will be the first album since Thankful that I won't be purchasing. Not worth my coins, sorry!
She has such great friends that are always gushing about her, lol.
