Please forgive because I really cannot help myself. I have to leT iT all ouT. In fact, I'm having a MELTDOWN over how good this f # * & ing album is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just got done with my first listen and I. Am. Overwhelmed. After the perfection of "#Beautiful" and "Letting Go" I've had the highest expectations but to be honest, she delivered and fulfilled them for me.
I'm listening for the second time right now so some of my praise may be due to the euphoria about having new material but seriously, this album is all I hoped it would be. Heavenly, mind-blowing melodies, strong and very personal lyrics, and the vocals ...
... who of you h o e s said that this album would the sonic proof of her vocal decline!?!?? Whoever it was, have we listened to the same album? Because I. Was. Slayed. Sure she doesn't sound like 1992 anymore but we may never forget about her nodules. I actually love love
love her voice today, it's a little darker and scratchy, sometimes she even sounds a little hysterical but I am so here for her vocal drama. I almost teared up when she belted like devil in "Meteorite".
I love the sound of the album. I could not imagine how "#Beautiful", "Thirsty", and "You Don't Know What To Do" would assemble to a cohesive album but it actually works incredibly well. The album is really diverse and yet connected. Many of them have a 90's appeal and yet all in all "The Elusive Chanteuse" has a 2014-twist.
I simply can't at the slayage of "Cry." and "Camouflage". I read many of the sistren's reviews in the album thread and saw that quite of few criticized these songs and others wouldn't be catchy but these kind of more complex songs remind me a little of the "Butterfly" album.
I cannot fathom what kind of disco smashes "Meteroite" and "You Don't Know What To Do" are. I love how she dared to do something different with songs like "Supernatural". I may be wrong but this is the first time she is the only executive producer, isn't it? Because it really shows. She let it all out this time and did what she wanted to. She did not listen to anyone else and didn't pay attention to trends which resulted in an incredible album which, I am sure after the first listen, is going to be one of my favorite albums of her.
Even though I felt so mad and let down over and over again during the last few years, with this album all is forgotten. She once again manages to move me like no other artist will probably ever be able to. Contrary to the implication of my nickname I hardly ever cry but right now I feel so, so happy to have Mariah and her music in my life that I could cry. I am so thankful for this new incredible body of her atristry and magic.
Thank you, Mariah. You Don't Know What You Do To Me.
maybe some one can add on to it ? 
cant wait to experience the same thing on Monday.
