I don't mind that she follows the same strategy as long as the album is good and there are amazing songs. Her ballads are amazing. And in these acoustic songs her voice shines. It's true that last three albums had pretty much same structure, but IND and FH are million miles better than TTAL. Both have better replay value for me than TTAL.
Her first three records were risky enough. I guess she found her formula after IND and it's sticking to it. But, maybe following the same formula isn't working anymore.
However, they should let her step out of box for the next record. We'll see. I have a good feeling about next album.
