I was 100% sure I was gonna buy this. Now I'm not unless someone gifts me a set of earplugs for me to use when her strained vocals make me wanna skip 75% of the songs, I'll put them on and then continue to listen to as much as I possibly CAN as a HUMAN.

So, I have been a fan of Xtina since I was 8. I'm 22 now. I always put her in front of any other pop chick 'til 008-09. She's still one my favorities stars and this is what I have to say about the album, sadly, not so good:
01.- Lotus Intro: My second favorite song on the album, it tells you how I feel about it. It's simple, it's MELODIC, it 's warm to the ears, makes you want to listen more, it's pure love in every way.
02.- Army Of Me: Oh boy what a GREAT tune this COULD HAVE BEEN. It's so great, I like the beat, but WHY THE HELL did she go THAT UP on the chorus, her voice sounds so strained, it's like I can't even go though the first chorus without wanting to skip it.
03.- Red Hot Kinda Love: My favorite on the album, it's sweet, original, very funky, the most ENJOYABLE out the bunch, I lolololove it, wanna sing along, coooooool me dowwwn lalalalalalalalalalalala. Most important, she keeps it cute &pop.
04.- Make The World Move: I don't know what's so annoying about this to be honest, it's cool sometimes, sometimes I just wanna kill her, at best decent 'love/hate' is the catchiest.
05.- Your Body - OUT ALREADY.
06.- Let There Be Love: Ok, this is ok, I can listen to this, I can TRY to bop to this, something doesn't fit, at least her vocals sound good. But It's too much, I ain't enjoying it like a Rihanna bop for example if this is for clubs, there's a point where I like it, then I wanna change to hear it NEVER AGAIN. I've tried many times tho. Kinda grower.
07.- Sing For Me: Meh, vocals out of control, earplugs please.
08.- Blank Page: I love this song tho it lacks MELODY, and at points her strained vocals make wanna change it, but then she turn them down and it's all cool again. I can go through all of it at least. Best Ballad on the album.
09.- Cease Fire: It's cool, it's original, the vocals are kind of on point, but it's ALL TOO MUCH. To the point I wanna skip, like the same problem in every song.
10.- Around The World: It's meh compared to the rest. Lyrics not my cup of tea. I don't use.
11.- Circles: It starts so good, so different, so great, then the first chorus and I SKIP. Great concept tho.
12.- Best Of Me: Cute.
13.- Just A Fool: This feels good, would've better if Xtina's vocals were smoother, but whatever.
On the bonus tracks, Shut Up is a bop mess, but MESS.
I am such heart broken stan, I give it a C at best.

So basically you don't like her belting voice?  I know her tone has changed since we were 8 but if you been a fan since that long like i have you would think you would be used to her "strain"

Right?
Fan since he was 8 and he doesn't like her "oversinging"? That does not make any sense. 
the avatar doesn't help either.

She went nuts after the B2B tour, I wanted to handle, but it's like out of control now, like you can't realize what she's doing. I'm even scared or sad, because she always sounded a bit like this but I BET MY MONEY she's hurt her voice through the years, I just don't wanna see her ending like Mariah Carey. But WORSE.

It's a bit of a boring album. The Entertainment Weekly interview was spot on, you're ****ing drained over all the "oh **** the haters, won't break me down" messages in 95% of the songs. Tracks #6-#15 were a big blur and "Shut Up" is just retarded, definitely not as tacky-good as "Bobblehead". I did like "Circles", though the chorus totally ruins the flow of the song.
With that said "Lotus Intro" and "Red Hot Kinda Love" are definitely the best tracks. Hope she releases the latter as a single at some point. The rest I'll delete.

LtBL isn't bad but it's very dull, it sounds like Scream. Didn't Max produce that too?

"YB" isn't the best he could've done compared to what he's done with P!nk, Britney, etc.
And yes he did "LTBL" too. I understand what Rolland says when it's what everyone wants, but like you said it's very dull and kind of feels off.

I mean if you wanna hear a basic voice then there's plenty of room for you. She's special. |
This + she said the album is about vocals.

I've noticed that too, it seems like it's well received, especially after the hate 'Bionic' got..
I agree about what you said about the vocals too, she has a very powerful voice and it seems like it's something either people DO appreciate or it's something they WONT appreciate...
